Labor Process and the Differentiation of Sisterhood :A case study on female migrants in China

本文从性别视角出发,借助布洛维"生产政体"理论的分析框架,对服务业女性农民工的劳动过程展开分析,探讨同一家酒楼中女工的内部分裂。劳动者工场之外的社会、文化身份对她们的工场表现有关键作用。资方利用了社会文化传统对女性年龄的社会性别建构及其造成的家庭角色和社会责任的差异,对女性劳动者实施分而治之的管理策略,并得到劳动者自身的认可和响应,导致大姐处于专制型的统治,小妹身处霸权型的管理。 

This paper is a case study on the labor process of female migrants in service industry.It focuses on the management strategies which result in the split of female migrants working in the same restaurant, especially the differentiation between the “older sisters” and the “younger sisters” .The difference may simply seem to be a matter of age , nevertheless the real reason is the gender construction of age and its distinct consequences on women' s family roles and social responsibilities.On the one hand, it leads to their different responses to the management , the clients and their families ;on the other hand , capitalized by the management , it results in differentiations among female migrants in terms of competition of labor power , labor reproduction and dependence , and the distribution of work .Thus comes despotic control on the older sisters and hegemonic domination on the younger sisters , by the restaurant management.
