Abstract
This thesis deals with the conceptions of the meaning of the state in a borderland in South Sudan. It will show how local actors negtiate norms and order in the context of inter-communual conflict, by using specific resources and repertoires. The relate in one way or another to an idea of the state, to strengthen the actors’ legitimacy, by aligning or distancing themselves with the state or using its corps and symbols. In this way the state is ‘made meaningful’.
