Reensamblando ontologías en tensión: Sincretismo y anti-sincretismo en los encuentros entre el catolicismo y la kultura en Timor-Leste
El objetivo de este artículo es explorar las relaciones entre la religión católica y la kultura en Timor-Leste desde una perspectiva histórica y antropológica. Pretendemos mostrar que la relación entre ambas se produce mediante una tensa coexistencia y que no se trata apenas de un sincretismo, resultado de la mezcla de elementos tomados de ambas. Para ello veremos cómo ambos regímenes de creencias se apropian de conceptos ajenos a su liturgia y l…
De cosas sagradas, tabúes y ortopraxis. el concepto de lulik en Timor-Leste
En este artículo se examinan los usos y significados del concepto de lulik en el Timor-Leste contemporáneo a partir de los análisis que del mismo han realizado autores de la lingüística y, especialmente, la antropología. En lo tocante específicamente a la antropología, tenemos en cuanta las definiciones que se han hecho del concepto a partir de aproximaciones teóricas de raíz durkheimianas y del giro ontológico. A la luz de la revisión de la lite…
Economic Diversity In Contemporary Timor-Leste
Economic Diversity in Contemporary Timor-Leste analyses various economic dynamics in past and present Timor-Leste. Comprising 14 research chapters, the volume brings to the fore: 1) local, community-based economic values and arrangements; 2) community-based entanglements with a market-driven economy; 3) the colonial and postcolonial governance praxis through which a market-driven economy has permeated the country, and 4) the creative and place-ba…
Una visión panorámica de los estudios antropológicos sobre Timor-Leste desde 2002: Veinte años de antropología en un país soberano
Las investigaciones antropológicas profesionales realizadas en Timor-Leste, iniciadas durante los últimos años del colonialismo portugués, se vieron frenadas tras la ocupación indonesia. Durante ese periodo se llevaron a cabo mayoritariamente estudios antropológicos promovidos por el propio Estado indonesio que tenían como objetivo último legitimar la ocupación. Con la restauración de la independencia y el retorno de la soberanía, se dio un resur…
Timor-Leste en 2020. Nuevas políticas establecidas por la excepcionalidad
This article consists of a brief analysis of the events that occurred in Timor-Leste during 2020. It discusses the development and conclusion of the political crisis that had been dragging on since the formation of the VIII constitutional government, as well as some of the administrative challenges the state had to face. We place special emphasis on the socioeconomic impacts that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on the country and its inhabitants. I…
Bargaining Kultura. Tensions Between Principles of Power Acquisition in Contemporary Timor-Leste
In this paper, we analyse a discourse around the notions of kultura (from the Portuguese “cultura” ) , adat (from the Indonesian “custom” or “tradition”) or lisan (in Tetun) in contemporary Timor-Leste and explore its contemporary strengthening. On the basis of ethnographic evidence, we suggest that beyond hypotheses explaining the revitalization of traditions as primary or secondary effects of changes in political or religious regimes, economic …
Ethnographic filmmaking as narrative capital enhancement among Atauro diverwomen: A Theoretical Exploration
This article reports on a project involving the development and release of an ethnographic film about the women divers of Atauro Island, Timor-Leste, and suggests a theoretical framework to interpret its outcomes. It describes the project aims and the filmmaking process, and reports on its results. In doing so, the paper explores the potential use of an agent-based concept of narrative capital focused on collective agents. The article suggests th…

Webs of Legitimacy and Discredit: Narrative Capital and Politics of Ritual in a Timor-Leste Community
This article explores the interconnections among origin narratives, migration patterns and ritual authority in a Timor-Leste community. By recognising the dimension of rituals as sources of power, we analyse the different ways social actors negotiate their position in social space by either supporting or contesting the legitimacy of the ritual leaders. We suggest how, in a context with historical levels of high migration and immersed in rapid soc…
