摘要本文探讨了在长期分离后重新建立接近时，社会关系如何变化。这个理论上的启发问题在斯里兰卡的情况下进行了讨论，2002年的和平进程使流亡的泰米尔人暂时返回他们的“家园”。这些移民的新流动性构成了重新谈判泰米尔身份的重要动力。由于流动性而产生的近距离关系使人们越来越意识到文化表达和观点的差异。实证数据表明，差异的构建不仅与空间流动性有关，也与时间性有关。跨区域关系中的空间距离以及时间距离决定了图像的构建，脱离了面对面的互动和地方性，构成了一个身份空间。
Abstract This article looks at how social relations change when proximity is re‐established after a long period of separation. This theoretically inspired question is discussed in the case of Sri Lanka, where a peace process in 2002 enabled exiled Tamils to temporarily return to their ‘homeland’. The new mobility of these migrants constituted a significant momentum for the re‐negotiation of Tamil identity. Proximate relations resulting from mobility led to a growing awareness of differences in cultural expression and perspective. The empirical data show that the construction of difference is related not only to spatial mobility and to temporality. Spatial, but also temporal distance in translocal relations determines the construction of images, detached from face‐to‐face interaction and the locality, constituting an identity space.
