Title: | Dialogues with Timor-Leste’s gerasaun independensia: is there room for other histories? | Authors: | Gonçalves, Marisa Ramos | Issue Date: | 2019 | Publisher: | Casa Apoema | Serial title, monograph or event: | Rupturas, Continuidades e Novas Sínteses em Timor-Leste: Anais da 1ª Conferência TLSA-BR | Place of publication or event: | Belo Horizonte | Abstract: | In Timor-Leste, the life experiences of individuals are intertwined with distinct historical times and social contexts, which include Portuguese colonialism, Japanese occupation, the struggle for independence from a second coloniser nation (Indonesia), a UN administration and, finally, self-government. Similarly to other colonised nations, these ‘encounters with modernity’2 produced a plurality of experiences in ordinary people’s lives (Waterson 2007, 3). In the case of Timor-Leste, these were built upon prevailing world views, moral regimes and governing systems of pre-colonial times, known as kultura or lisan, which are central in East Timorese society. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10316/94077 | ISBN: | 9788569957140 | Rights: | openAccess |
