Abstract

Universal equality is achieved through citizenship. Despite this normative definition, the reality of citizenship differs across space and time. Against the backdrop of the decentring of state power in the wake of globalisation, when Western scrutiny focused on the peripheries of Uganda, Kenya and South Sudan, and when integrated disarmament and sedentarisation policies were promoted, pastoralists in the Karamoja region of Uganda, rather than appealing to normative notions of citizenship, initiated their own practice of citizenship in resistance to and articulation with the state order. Aware that direct confrontation with power immobilises a one-sided violence perpetration/victimisation relationship, pastoralists developed a repertoire of citizenship-related practices, including animals as co-citizens, to obtain recognition for continued nomadic pastoralism.

公民身份、抵抗与动物:乌干达卡拉莫贾地区牧民对国家暴力的复原力
普遍平等是通过公民身份实现的。尽管有这一规范性定义,但公民身份的现实在空间和时间上有所不同。在全球化后国家权力分散的背景下,当西方的审查集中在乌干达、肯尼亚和南苏丹的周边地区,当综合裁军和定居政策得到推广时,乌干达卡拉莫贾地区的牧民非但没有呼吁规范的公民概念,他们开始了自己的公民身份实践,以反抗和表达国家秩序。意识到与权力的直接对抗会固定单方面的暴力实施/受害关系,牧民们制定了一系列与公民身份相关的做法,包括将动物作为共同公民,以获得对继续游牧的认可。
