本研究聚焦於近年來崛起的南洋新移民女性自拍行動， 以批判教育（critical pedagogy）及女性主義（Feminism）電影理論為基礎，透過3位參與自拍的南洋新移民女性，以及她們的自拍影片文本，探究處於邊陲位置的「她者」，如何於影片製作過程進行自我探索與自我書寫，以及自拍學習行動能否幫助其自我解放。
本研究發現，自拍學習幫助受壓迫的南洋新移民女性自我肯認與建構主體，透過觀景窗的自我映照，思考自己與世界的關係，完成一趟自我對話的生命旅程。若學習支持者能以批判教育的提問與對話方式啟發自拍者，有助其在影像敘事過程中建構批判意識，透過自我指涉影片改寫「我群」（we-group）形象，以行動反抗主流文化再現。

Founded theoretically on critical pedagogy and feminist films, this study is centered on the contemporary action of “self-filming” among women who immigrated to Taiwan around 2000 from Southeast Asia for marital reasons. This paper investigates three Southeast Asian women and their self-filming video work to discover how marginalized “others” explore and represent themselves through the learning process of video-production and the text of their video-work, and to discover if the act of self-filming can help them to liberate themselves.
The research findings reveal that self-filming helped these oppressed women acquire self-confidence and affirm their identity to construct their subjectivity. The Southeast Asian immigrant women went on a journey of self-exploration by looking at their self-reflections through the viewfinder of camcorder. The questioning and dialogues between the learners and the supporters of their learning during the image-narration process stimulated the oppressed immigrant women’s self-awareness, enabling them to construct their own critical consciousness. Thus, they became engaged in redefining their self-images through self-reflexive video work, effectively resisting existing representations within the mainstream culture.
