The processual nature of affinal relationships is well established in Africanist anthropology. This article calls for greater attention to spatial considerations and proposes the concept of movement as an integral dimension of understanding affinal relationships. This observation springs from reflections on how the experiences of displacement and return in northern Uganda have reshaped constructions of ‘home’ in relation to love and intimate relationships. Reflecting on ethnographic research over ten years in northern Uganda where a two-decade-long war (1986–2006) occurred, the article examines movements in relationships between public and private spaces against the backdrop of wider societal movements from the spatial moral geography of camp to home. It reflects on how the spatial dynamics of camps entailed profound disruptions to ‘normal’ gendered orderings of life and how ‘home’ is being reconfigured in the aftermath of war.

走向“家”：通过战争和流离失所的爱与人际关系

亲属关系的过程性在非洲人类学中已得到充分确立。本文呼吁更多地注意空间因素，并提出运动的概念，作为理解亲和关系的一个不可或缺的维度。这种观察源于对乌干达北部流离失所和返回的经历如何重塑与爱和亲密关系有关的“家”的构想的反思。回顾十年来发生了长达十年之久的战争（1986–2006年）的乌干达北部的人种学研究，本文从营地的空间道德地理学出发，考察了公共和私人空间之间关系的运动，以及更广泛的社会运动的背景。回家。
