高星级酒店女性职员“家”的建构与协商

The Construction and Negotiation of“Home”for Female Staff in High-star Hotels

在人文地理“文化转向”的背景下,“家”成为理解社会和空间的关键场所。文章援引“家”的相关理论,通过半结构化访谈和文本分析方法,深入探讨高星级酒店女性职员对“商业性家”与“私密性家”的建构过程和互动关系。研究发现:高星级酒店女性职员从物质、情感与权力3个维度建构了“商业性家”与“私密性家”,且两者间存在不对等的渗透关系,即“私密性家”对“商业性家”的渗透微乎其微,而“商业性家”对“私密性家”却是强渗透,同时,在该群体的阶层、个人经历与主观能动性等作用下,“私密性家”最终呈现出3种不同复制程度的“家”,分别为与酒店相似、部分复制酒店及与酒店毫无关联的“家”。值得注意的是,“私密性家”对“商业性家”仅是浅层建构方式的复制。

In the context of“cultural turn”in human geography,home has become a key place for understanding society and space. This article invoked“home”theory and explored the process and interaction between“commercial home”and“private home”of female staff in high-star hotels through semi-structured interviews and a textual analysis.The study found that female hotel staff constructed“commercial home”and“private home”in three dimensions namely material,emotional and power,and there is a non-reciprocal permeable relationship between“commercial home”and“private home”.The penetration of the later to the former is minimal while the former to the later one is strong penetration,and at the same time,in the role of group class,personal experience and subjective motivation,“private home”eventually appears as three different replications of the home,which are:the“home”similar to hotel,“home”as a partial copy of hotel and“home”related to hotel.It is worth noting that“private home”is only a superficial replication of“commercial home”.
