本文探讨了波斯尼亚极具破坏性的战争后流散的波斯尼亚难民生活中“家”的含义。通过仔细阅读两名居住在芬兰的难民所写的生活故事，它强调了在散居国外的情况下谈判归属感的动态过程。它特别关注种族在这些作家的记忆中以及他们对“美好家园”的理解中所扮演的矛盾角色。该解读并不支持流行的对波斯尼亚战争的“古老仇恨”解释；战争的暴力并不是从种族混居社区的生活中自然产生的。相反，它是通过以极其暴力和排他的方式解释种族语言的政治化话语带到社区的。本文的研究对象是“犹豫不决的侨民”，因为在不断变化的形势下，难民在原籍国和新定居国作为“家”之间犹豫不决。
This article examines the meanings of ‘home’ in the lives of Bosnian refugees living in diaspora after the extremely destructive war in Bosnia. Through careful reading of life stories written by two refugees living in Finland, it highlights the dynamic process of negotiating belonging in diasporic situations. It pays special attention to the ambivalent role of ethnicity in the memories of these writers and their understanding of ‘good homes’. The reading does not support the popular ‘ancient hatred’ explanation of war in Bosnia; the violence of the war does not grow organically from the lives of ethnically mixed communities. Rather, it is brought to the communities by politicized discourses interpreting the language of ethnicity in extremely violent and exclusive ways. This article’s orientation is towards ‘hesitant diasporas’ because of refugees’ hesitation between their country of origin and their new country of settlement as their ‘homes’ in a changing situation.
