Esta pesquisa, que tem como tema a influência da Igreja Católica no atual contexto histórico-social do Timor-Leste, foi realizada entre junho de 2008 e agosto de 2010. O Timor-Leste, localizado no Sudeste Asiático, após quatro séculos de ocupação portuguesa e 24 anos de dominação indonésia tornou-se independente em 2002. A Igreja Católica, uma das instituições mais antigas do país que chegou ao Timor no século XVI junto com os primeiros navegadores portugueses, reivindica para si um papel de destaque na proteção do povo durante os anos de conflito entre a guerrilha e o exército indonésio, e no processo que levou a independência. Para o trabalho de campo, através da observação participante, concentrei as minhas analises entre os Humangili, grupo etnolinguístico com aproximadamente duas mil pessoas, falantes do Hresuk e moradores da ilha de Ataúro. Ao contrário do restante do Timor, a Igreja Católica chegou a Ataúro somente depois das quatro primeiras décadas do século XX. Em Humangili, todas as pessoas são cristãs, sendo seguidoras da Igreja Católica ou da Assembleia de Deus, porém algumas práticas que evocam os espíritos dos antepassados e da natureza ainda persistem nos dias de hoje. O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a relação entre o catolicismo e o sistema de crenças e práticas de culto aos ancestrais e aos espíritos da natureza. Dividi este trabalho em quatro capítulos onde, pelo viés da religião, analiso as dinâmicas políticas, econômicas, os arranjos de casamento e o significado de conversão para os Humangili. Na última parte, apresento um dicionário de Hresuk-Português, como uma tentativa de preservar esta forma oral de comunicação. / The present research, which has as its theme the influence of the Catholic Church in the current socio-historical context of Timor-Leste, was carried out between June 2008 and August 2010. Timor-Leste, located in South East Asia, became independent in 2002 after four centuries of Portuguese occupation and 24 years of Indonesian domination. The Catholic Church, one of the oldest institutions of the country, arriving in Timor on the seventeeth century with the first Portuguese sailors, reclaims to itself a distinguishing role in the protection of people during the years of conflict between the guerrilla and the Indonesian army and in the process that led to its independence. In order to carry out my field work through observing-participation, I focused my analysis amongst the Humangili, an ethno-linguistic group, which has approximately 2,000 people, who are speakers of Hresuk and are inhabitants of Ataúro Island. Contrary to the rest of Timor, the Catholic Church arrived in Ataúro only after the first four decades of the twentieth century. In Humangili, all of the people are Christian and are followers either of the Catholic Church or of the Assembly of God, though certain practices that evoke the spirits of the forefathers and of nature persist until today. The purpose of this research is to analyse the relation between Catholicism and the practices of cult to the forefathers and to the spirits of nature. I divided this work into four chapters where, through the lens of religion, I analyse the political and economic dynamics, marriage arrangements and the meaning of conversion to the Humangili. In the last part, I present a Hresuk-Portuguese dictionary as an attempt to preserve this oral form of communication.

Metáforas do mosaico: Timor Leste em Ruy Cinatti e Luis Cardoso / Metaphors of the mosaic: East Timor in Ruy Cinatti and Luis CardosoLetícia Villela Lima da Costa 21 September 2012 (has links)
Na construção do discurso ainda incipiente de Timor Leste, Ruy Cinatti e Luis Cardoso são autores fundamentais. Ambos constroem discursos sobre Timor, calcados na necessidade de se pensar as questões identitárias. Com seu caráter multifacetado, Cinatti apresenta uma visão bastante ampla dos timorenses e de seu território, através de sua obra poética e também dos seus inúmeros estudos científicos sobre o local e seus habitantes. Cinatti é, sem dúvida, um dos poucos poetas que articulam ciência e poesia, inaugurando uma nova visão de Timor. É fundamental perceber também como houve, para ele, uma evolução na imagem do timorense, ou seja, como ele deixa de ser um simples elemento exótico, numa paisagem por si só já exótica, e passa a figurar como elemento de destaque. Durante os diversos períodos em que esteve no território timorense, Ruy Cinatti escreveu diversos estudos científicos, além das poesias. A análise de alguns desses documentos complementa a leitura da obra poética do autor. As inúmeras fotos tiradas por ele, bem como os registros em filme, também são elementos fundamentais para a compreensão global do discurso cinattiano acerca de Timor. Ruy Cinatti, assim como o conjunto da sua obra, influenciou o romancista timorense Luís Cardoso, que lança mão da memória para narrar acontecimentos pessoais, sempre ligados a fatos históricos do Timor. Utiliza-se constantemente da memória não-oficial para recuperar a história que não foi registrada. Sua narrativa tem fortes características da literatura oral, com pinceladas de realismo fantástico. O presente trabalho procura traçar um paralelo entre esses dois autores, mostrando como cada um constrói a sua própria imagem de Timor, e perceber como Timor se vai desenhando na narrativa desses dois autores. / In the construction of the still incipient discourse on East Timor, Ruy Cinatti and Luis Cardoso are fundamentally important authors. Both build discourses about Timor based on the need to think about questions of identity. With his multifarious character, Cinatti presents a broad overview of the Timorese and their territory, through his poetic work and also through his countless scientific studies about the place and its inhabitants. Cinatti is, beyond doubt, one of the few poets to articulate science and poetry, introducing a new vision of Timor. It is also crucial to perceive how there was, in his case, an evolution in the image of the East Timorese, or, in other words, how he ceases to be a simple exotic element, in a landscape in itself exotic, and then appears as an outstanding element. During the several periods he spent in the territory of East Timor, Ruy Cinatti wrote many scientific studies, in addition to poetry. The analysis of some of these documents complements the reading of the authors poetry. The countless photos he took, as well as records on film, are also crucial elements in an overall understanding of Cinattis discourse about Timor. Ruy Cinatti, as well as all of his work, influenced the Timorese novelist Luís Cardoso, who makes use of memory to narrate personal events, always linked to historical facts about Timor. He constantly uses the unofficial memory to retrieve the history that was not recorded. His narrative has strong features of oral literature, with touches of fantastic realism. The present work searches to draw a parallel between these two authors, showing how each builds his own image of Timor, and to understand how Timor is pictured in the narrative of these two authors.

Previous issue date: 2008-08-13 / Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / As one of the results of author s experiences in Timor Leste, during 2004 and 2005, this
work is product of his interest to identify the psychosocial meaning of modalities of
resistance existed during Indonesian occupation period. This research s objective is to
explore, by electing one of the cultural figuration the religious scenario postindependence
East Timor, its social transformations, singular and collective
transformations that happened in such country while Indonesian occupation. The
religion choice is justified, among other reasons, by information that before the
Indonesian occupation, in 1975, less than one third of Timorese population declared
themselves as Catholic and, after the 1999 referendum, more than 90% of the
population asserted being part of Catholic religion. Seeking to comprehend the meaning
of such figuration, we can consider, among other authors, studies of Geertz (1978),
Freud (1988), Magalhães (1983, 1990, 1999), Smythe (2004) and from testimonials of
its own author and other subjective representatives, as Xanana Gusmão and Dom
Basílio do Nascimento, it intended to better understand the religion figuration in East
Timor as resistance operator. It was observed that, before physical and cultural
systematic carnage placed by occupants, a new religious configuration was created in
East Timor as a powerful, fundamental political, cultural and social resistance ally. It
evidenced how this new religious scenario, major Catholic, was constituted, mainly,
because of support, aid and defense which Timorese population found in East Timor
Catholic Church, only not related to political resistance, but also regarding social,
cultural and even religious resistance, since population, being catholic, found in Church
a way to preserve the transmission of animist traditional Timorese religiosity. This
religious amalgam constitutes a religiosity of Catholic and traditional-animist practices,
as well, in this sense, creating a syncretism of rhythms and symbols religious
syncretism. It was relevant to point out that Church support was not the whole time
unanimous, however that, sometimes, Catholic Church of East Timor, Australia,
Indonesia, Portugal and from Vatican had divergent positions regarding that occupation.
The final results of this research showed the power of Timorese culture and the religion
function as operator of resistance by the means of political-cultural relation, ergo,
psychosocial / Como um dos resultados das experiências vividas pelo autor no Timor-Leste, entre os
anos de 2004 e 2005, este trabalho é fruto de seu interesse em identificar o significado
psicossocial das modalidades de resistência figuradas em Timor-Leste durante o
período de ocupação Indonésia. O objetivo desta pesquisa foi abordar, por meio da
eleição de uma modalidade de figuração cultural o cenário religioso o Timor-Leste
pós-independência, suas transformações sociais, as transformações culturais coletivas
e singulares que se processaram nesse país atravessado pela ocupação indonésia. A
escolha da religião se justifica, entre outros motivos, pela informação de que antes da
ocupação indonésia, em 1975, menos de um terço da população timorense se
declarava católica e, após o referendo de 1999, mais de 90% da população afirmaram
pertencer à religião Católica. Procurando compreender o significado de tal figuração
cultural, consideramos, entre outros autores, os estudos de Geertz (1978), Freud
(1988), Magalhães (1983, 1990, 1999), Smythe (2004) e a partir, principalmente, de
testemunhos do próprio autor deste trabalho e de outros sujeitos representativos, como
Xanana Gusmão e Dom Basílio do Nascimento, pretendeu-se conhecer melhor a
figuração da religião no Timor-Leste como operador de resistência. Observou-se que,
diante do sistemático massacre físico e cultural empregado pelos ocupantes, uma nova
configuração religiosa se constituiu em Timor-Leste como um poderoso e fundamental
operador político, social e cultural de resistência. Evidenciou-se desta maneira, esse
novo cenário religioso de maioria Católica que se constituiu, principalmente, em virtude
do amparo, assistência e defesa que a população de Timor-Leste encontrou na Igreja
Católica do Timor-Leste, não só no aspecto de resistência política, mas de resistência
social, cultural e até religiosa, já que também a população, tornando-se Católica,
encontrou na Igreja uma maneira de preservar a transmissão e herança da
religiosidade tradicional-animista timorense. Esse amálgama religioso constituiu uma
religiosidade de práticas tanto Católicas quanto Tradicional-animistas, constituindo,
assim, um sincretismo de ritos e símbolos sincretismo religioso. Foi relevante apontar
que o apoio da Igreja Católica não foi unânime todo o tempo, mas que, muitas vezes, a
Igreja Católica de Timor-Leste, Indonésia, Austrália, Portugal e do Vaticano exerciam
posições divergentes em relação à ocupação. O resultado final dessa pesquisa
mostrou a força da cultura timorense e a função da religião como operador de
resistência por meio da relação político-cultural, logo, psicossocial

Addressing crises of order : judicial state-building in the wake of conflictSwenson, Geoffrey Jon January 2015 (has links)
Promoting the rule of law is vital for the success of domestic and international postconflict state-building efforts. Yet in post-conflict settings, non-state justice systems handle most disputes, retaining substantial autonomy and authority. Legal pluralism's importance, however, is rarely recognized and dramatically under-theorized. This thesis demonstrates that multiple justice systems can co-exist and contribute to the development of a democratic state bound by the rule of law. Domestic and international efforts, however, must be cognizant of the overarching legal pluralism paradigm that exists when trying to build the rule of law and tailor their strategies accordingly. By drawing on two divergent case studies, Timor-Leste and Afghanistan, this dissertation examines the conditions under which the rule of law can be advanced in post-conflict settings featuring a high degree of legal pluralism and substantial international involvement. Four distinct legal pluralism paradigms are proposed - combative, competitive, cooperative, and benign - in order to understand how legal pluralism functions in practice. Timor-Leste successfully advanced the rule of law because the major parties remained committed to democracy and developed institutions promoting accountability, inclusivity, and legality. The state meaningfully collaborated with key non-state actors. While the process was imperfect, Timorese state-officials effectively mediated between the international community and local-level figures. This contributed to the effective transformation of a competitive legal pluralist environment into a cooperative one. The international community largely reinforced these positive trends. Conversely, Afghanistan's post-2001 regime squandered the opportunity to build a democratic state bound by the rule of law. Simultaneously, it failed to mediate between the international community and the tribal and religious authorities essential for legitimate rule. Despite international actor's substantial influence, external aid did little good and was often counter-productive. These divergent approaches helps explain judicial state-building's failure and the corresponding slide from competitive into combative legal pluralism against the Taliban.

Östtimorkrisen år 1999 : En lemkiansk granskning av konflikten som följer det östtimorianska självständighetsvotumet / The 1999 East Timorese Crisis : A Lemkian review of the conflict following the East Timorese referendum on independenceEk, Oliver January 2023 (has links)
In early 1999, newly appointed Indonesian President Habibie authorised a referendum on independence for East Timor. It was held under UN supervision and an overwhelming majority voted in favour. This was not well received by the conservative Indonesian military TNI, which saw this as the beginning of an Indonesian state collapse. Therefore, the TNI launched a month-long offensive in East Timor in the autumn of 1999, characterised by massive displacement, burning of infrastructure, sexual violence against women, and repeated cases of wanton murders. Consequently, some historians have described the period as a genocide. The term genocide aims to describe a concept where a perpetrator has a coordinated plan to destroy key elements of national groups, with the aim of ending the groups’ existence as a whole. Genocide is thus strongly characterised by the idea of human rights and, by extension, has a liberal underpinning. This study aims to determine whether the East Timor Crisis of 1999 can be described as a genocide; whether the description is correct if consideration is made to what constitutes a group and the intent of the perpetrator. It also aims to achieve this by using the originator of the term Raphaël Lemkin's eight societal domains in which he regards genocide to be committed and thus applies events from the East Timor Crisis within these domains to determine whether genocide has taken place. The study makes use of a qualitative, theory consuming case study methodology. It then concludes that genocide, with exceptions, occurred within every societal domain of the East Timorese society throughout the East Timor Crisis of 1999.

The Structural and Geomorphic Development of Active Collisional Orogens, from Single Earthquake to Million Year Timescales, Timor Leste and New ZealandDuffy, Brendan Gilbert January 2012 (has links)
The structure and geomorphology of active orogens evolves on time scales ranging from a single earthquake to millions of years of tectonic deformation. Analysis of crustal deformation using new and established remote sensing techniques, and integration of these data with field mapping, geochronology and the sedimentary record, create new opportunities to understand orogenic evolution over these timescales. Timor Leste (East Timor) lies on the northern collisional boundary between continental crust from the Australian Plate and the Banda volcanic arc. GPS studies have indicated that the island of Timor is actively shortening. Field mapping and fault kinematic analysis of an emergent Pliocene marine sequence identifies gentle folding, overprinted by a predominance of NW-SE oriented dextral-normal faults and NE-SW oriented sinistral-normal faults that collectively bound large (5-20km2) bedrock massifs throughout the island. These fault systems intersect at non-Andersonian conjugate angles of approximately 120° and accommodate an estimated 20 km of orogen-parallel extension. Folding of Pliocene rocks in Timor may represent an early episode of contraction but the overall pattern of deformation is one of lateral crustal extrusion sub-parallel to the Banda Arc. Stratigraphic relationships suggest that extrusion began prior to 5.5 Ma, during and after initial uplift of the orogen. Sedimentological, geochemical and Nd isotope data indicate that the island of Timor was emergent and shedding terrigenous sediment into carbonate basins prior to 4.5 Ma. Synorogenic tectonic and sedimentary phases initiated almost synchronously across much of Timor Leste and <2 Myr before similar events in West Timor. An increase in plate coupling along this obliquely converging boundary, due to subduction of an outlying continental plateau at the Banda Trench, is proposed as a mechanism for uplift that accounts for orogen-parallel extension and early uplift of Timor Leste. Rapid bathymetric changes around Timor are likely to have played an important role in evolution of the Indonesian Seaway.
The 2010 Mw 7.1 Darfield (Canterbury) earthquake in New Zealand was complex, involving multiple faults with strike-slip, reverse and normal displacements. Multi-temporal cadastral surveying and airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) surveys allowed surface deformation at the junction of three faults to be analyzed in this study in unprecedented detail. A nested, localized restraining stepover with contractional bulging was identified in an area with the overall fault structure of a releasing bend, highlighting the surface complexities that may develop in fault interaction zones during a single earthquake sequence. The earthquake also caused river avulsion and flooding in this area. Geomorphic investigations of these rivers prior to the earthquake identify plausible precursory patterns, including channel migration and narrowing. Comparison of the pre and post-earthquake geomorphology of the fault rupture also suggests that a subtle scarp or groove was present along much of the trace prior to the Darfield earthquake. Hydrogeology and well logs support a hypothesis of extended slip history and suggests that that the Selwyn River fan may be infilling a graben that has accumulated late Quaternary vertical slip of <30 m. Investigating fault behavior, geomorphic and sedimentary responses over a multitude of time-scales and at different study sites provides insights into fault interactions and orogenesis during single earthquakes and over millions of years of plate boundary deformation.

Dependent Communities: Aid and Politics in Cambodia and East TimorHughes, Caroline January 2009 (has links)
Dependent Communities investigates the political situations in contemporary Cambodia and East Timor, where powerful international donors intervened following deadly civil conflicts. This comparative analysis critiques international policies that focus on rebuilding state institutions to accommodate the global market. In addition, it explores the dilemmas of politicians in Cambodia and East Timor who struggle to satisfy both wealthy foreign benefactors and constituents at home-groups whose interests frequently conflict.Hughes argues that the policies of Western aid organizations tend to stifle active political engagement by the citizens of countries that have been torn apart by war. The neoliberal ideology promulgated by United Nations administrations and other international NGOs advocates state sovereignty, but in fact "sovereignty" is too flimsy a foundation for effective modern democratic politics. The result is an oppressive peace that tends to rob survivors and former resistance fighters of their agency and aspirations for genuine postwar independence.In her study of these two cases, Hughes demonstrates that the clientelist strategies of Hun Sen, Cambodia's postwar leader, have created a shadow network of elites and their followers that has been comparatively effective in serving the country's villages, even though so often coercive and corrupt. East Timor's postwar leaders, on the other hand, have alienated voters by attempting to follow the guidelines of the donors closely and ignoring the immediate needs and voices of the people.Dependent Communities offers a searing analysis of contemporary international aid strategies based on the author's years of fieldwork in Cambodia and East Timor.
