Abstract
Marriage migrant women are regarded as integral members of Korean ‘families’. However, existing research insufficiently emphasizes the transnational family relationships of marriage migrants with their families of origin prior to immigrating to Korea, as well as how these relationships are maintained and transformed after becoming a part of a multicultural family. This paper aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the interconnection between immigration and family by focusing on the characteristic of ‘doing family’ that migrant women, especially those who form ‘transnational’ families, are praticing through their past and present experiences. To achieve this, the paper analyzes the changing features of families by approaching the practices of migrant women’s transnational families through the concept of ‘doing family.’ Based on the awareness of how their practices of ‘doing family’ through transnational migration can be characterized and what possibilities they may lead to, this paper first emphasizes that marriage migrant women’s families possess transnational characteristics that transcend borders. Secondly, it highlights the limitations of South Korean migration policies that constrain the practices of transnational families and emphasizes the practices of marriage migrant women in overcoming these limitations, analyzing the dynamism of ‘doing family.’ Lastly it captures the reality of care that extends beyond the family, exploring new communal possibilities beyond the family that marriage migrant women are practicing.
