Abstract: “Political violence” is seemingly on the rise again in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The violence that began in the 1980s and reached a peak in the transition period resurfaced before the local government elections in August 2016. Krämer provides a processual understanding of local dynamics of violence in the eThekwini Municipality and situates the current episode within the historical trajectory of violent conflict. He examines how exclusionary identities get activated in local elections and argues that underlying the violence between supporters of hostile political parties are conflicting forms of autochthonous belonging and contradictory ideas about what constitutes membership in a community.

夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省（南非）的暴力、本土和身份政治：地方政治动态的过程视角

摘要：“政治暴力”似乎在南非夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省再次抬头。始于 1980 年代并在过渡时期达到顶峰的暴力事件在 2016 年 8 月地方政府选举之前重新浮出水面。 Krämer 提供了对 eThekwini 市当地暴力动态的过程性理解，并将当前事件置于暴力的历史轨迹中冲突。他研究了排斥性身份如何在地方选举中被激活，并认为敌对政党的支持者之间的暴力行为背后是相互冲突的本土归属形式以及关于社区成员资格构成的矛盾观念。
