Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In this paper, I will examine gender, �ga strategic nexus�h, of Japanese corporate transnational practices and family lives of corporate migrant professionals and its effects on lives of corporate wives and the reproduction of maternal femininity. The data for this article come mostly from 21 in-depth interviews with wives of Japanese corporate migrant men who were living in Southern California for their husbands�f occupational assignments at the time of interviews. I will argue that 1) Japanese corporations construct and depend on not only corporate masculinity defined by absence from home and spatial mobility but also femininity defined in relation with corporate masculinity by economic dependence, constant availability at home, and heightened maternal identity for their transnational practices, 2) the degrees to which corporate migrant wives accept or challenge this femininity shape their migration experiences, and because corporate femininity is constructed in relation with corporate masculinity, resisting corporate femininity inevitably involves questioning and challenging corporate masculinity, and 3) corporate migrant wives reproduce and strengthen their maternal identity in a context where no work-related identity is possible, and maternal duty becomes more demanding. Japanese women�fs extensive maternal practices and strong maternal identity are not simply a cultural practice but rather structurally reproduced within gendered structure of Japanese corporations.
