摘要

2009年正式结束的斯里兰卡冲突不仅导致大量泰米尔人离开该国，加入全球庞大的泰米尔侨民，还造成许多来自斯里兰卡北部泰米尔社区的国内流离失所者(IDPs)，他们定居在科伦坡。本文探讨了这些国内流离失所者的家的概念，展示了对早期家园的破碎记忆和不同的回归方式如何塑造了科伦坡泰米尔国内流离失所者的“局内人”或“局外人”的感觉。根据这些国内流离失所者的生活经历，这篇文章显示，他们现在通常认为科伦坡是一个更合适的家园，但仍然是“成为圈内人”，而不是“成为圈内人”。

Sri Lankan Northern Tamils in Colombo: Broken Memories of Home

The Sri Lankan conflict that officially ended in 2009 resulted not only in large numbers of Tamils leaving the country to join the vast global Tamil diaspora but also created many internally displaced persons (IDPs) from Sri Lanka’s Northern Tamil communities who settled in Colombo. This article examines the idea of home among such IDPs, showing how broken memories of an earlier home and different approaches towards return shape feelings of being an ‘insider’ or ‘outsider’ among Tamil IDPs in Colombo. Drawing on the life experiences of such IDPs, the article shows that they now often view Colombo as a more suitable home yet are still ‘becoming insiders’ rather than ‘being insiders’.
