本文主要研究南非东开普省东伦敦市邓肯村乡镇棚户区“同居”或“ukuthlalisana”家庭的社会和文化动态。本文探讨了意识形态的力量，支撑（重新）出现的“ukuthlalisana”的关系在20世纪80年代的变化，国内形式的乡镇在城市的挑战性的政治环境。本文还探讨了这些关系是如何解开的，以及这一过程的性别关系和重新连接的城市和农村地区在东开普省的影响。它表明，政府和政策研究人员在年轻的能力，“住在一起”的家庭，使城市过渡和迎来一个新时代的城市稳定在南非城镇和城市的巨大信心，在很大程度上是错位的。该分析审查了非正式住区中许多“同居”家庭的失败，不是在政策辩论的宏观层面，而是在这些单位的日常社会和经济动态的微观层面。
This paper focuses on the social and cultural dynamics of 'living together' or 'ukuthlalisana' households in the shack areas of the Duncan Village township in the city of East London in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The paper explores the ideological forces that underpinned the (re-)emergence of 'ukuthlalisana' relationships in the 1980s by relating the changing domestic forms in the township to the challenging political environment in the city. This paper also explores how these relationships unravelled, and the implications of this process for gender relations and the reconnection of urban and rural areas in the Eastern Cape. It is suggested that the enormous confidence shown by government and policy researchers in the capacity of the young, 'living together' households to make the urban transition and to usher in a new era of urban stabilization in South African towns and cities was largely misplaced. The analysis examines the failure of the many 'living together' households in informal settlements, not at the macro-level of policy debates but at the micro-level of day-to-day social and economic dynamics of these units.
