In recent years, numerous scholars have advocated for the concept of embodiment-defined as the experience of engaging one's body with the world (Allan, 2005; Piran & Teall, 2012)-as a valuable framework for understanding women's experiences of their bodies. However, there is a paucity of research on embodiment specifically among newcomer women (including immigrants, refugees, and non-permanent residents) who belong to racialized groups in Canada. This article presents findings from a feminist research study employing an Arts-Based Engagement Ethnography (ABEE) methodology to investigate the embodiment experiences of six racialized newcomer women in Canada. The study reveals several unique factors influencing embodiment in this demographic, suggesting that future research, clinical practice, and social justice efforts should consider these factors both conceptually and methodologically.
近年来，许多学者倡导将具身性（即与世界互动的身体体验）的概念定义为理解女性身体体验的有价值框架（Allan，2005；Piran & Teall，2012）。然而，针对属于加拿大少数族裔的新移民女性（包括移民、难民和非永久居民）的具身性研究却很少。本文介绍了一项采用基于艺术的参与式民族志（ABEE）方法的女性主义研究的结果，该研究旨在调查加拿大 6 名少数族裔新移民女性的具身性体验。研究揭示了影响这一人群具身性的几个独特因素，表明未来的研究、临床实践和社会公正努力应该从概念和方法上考虑这些因素。
