Abstract

This study describes the hegemony produced by the Saudi Arabian state through the kafala system in the relationship between employers and female migrant domestic workers from Indonesia. The kafala system creates many problems due to the structural dependence between domestic migrant workers and their employers, ranging from heavy workloads and irregular wages to restrictions on access to mobility. Employers as individual sponsors have a large dominance of power so that the working conditions for domestic migrant workers become unbalanced. This study is analyzed using Antonio Gramsci's hegemonic perspective with three indicators of understanding, namely the ruling class, defense of the domination of the ruling class, and the crisis of ruling class hegemony. This study was dissected using a qualitative critical approach. This study indicates that the hegemony in this research phenomenon belongs to a declining level of hegemony characterized by the potential for disintegration hidden beneath the surface. Various restrictive Saudi Arabian regulations hamper the awareness of civil society, which has been gradually awakened. The limitations of civil society on access to participatory democracy have resulted in mass resistance to the Kafala system not coming to the surface.
沙特卡法拉制度在雇主与印尼家政女工关系中的霸权——2018-2020年
本研究描述了沙特阿拉伯国家通过卡法拉制度在雇主与来自印度尼西亚的女性移民家政工人的关系中产生的霸权。由于家庭移徙工人与其雇主之间的结构性依赖,卡法拉制度产生了许多问题,从繁重的工作量和不稳定的工资到对流动的限制。作为个人担保人的雇主拥有很大的主导权力,使得家政移工的工作条件变得不平衡。本研究运用葛兰西的霸权视角,以统治阶级、统治阶级统治的捍卫和统治阶级霸权的危机三个理解指标进行分析。本研究采用定性批判性方法进行剖析。本研究表明,这一研究现象中的霸权属于一种衰落的霸权水平,其特征是隐藏在表面之下的解体潜力。沙特阿拉伯的各种限制性规定阻碍了逐渐觉醒的公民社会的意识。公民社会在获得参与式民主方面的限制导致对卡法拉制度的大规模抵抗没有浮出水面。
