Meanwhile being ‘modern’ has long meant being both educated and Christian, ushering in ongoing shifts in moral worlds. These seemingly contradictory forms of sociality, relationality and subjectivity are, we argue, uniquely woven together through a deeply political meshwork of performative practices. Drawing on the experience of our collaborative research into mental health systems in Timor-Leste, we ask what this means for attempts to engage with diverse approaches to healing through an integrated approach to the nation’s public health programmes and policies.

Yet as Anderson asserts ‘for the culture of nationalism … survival cannot be enough’ (2003: 184) and as with all other nationalisms, Timor‐Leste's nation‐making agenda is now engaged in the search for inclusive futures for its citizens. In this paper, we examine the extent to which Timor‐Leste's independence trajectory has included the active involvement of Indigenous Timorese traditions, practices and priorities in the governance of the new nation. By theorising these shifting ‘Indigenous’ ontologies and examining the ways in which they correspond (or not) with the tensions evident in more internationalised approaches to Indigeneity, we illuminate the socio‐political challenge of carving out spaces for plural identities and meaningfully diverse economic futures in Timor‐Leste. We argue that the term ‘Indigenous’ is not (yet) a term mobilised as a vehicle for the politics of recognition at either national or local levels of civil society.",

First, we analyse the claims of the centre as reflected in colonial and indigenous narratives. Second, we investigate narratives from the 'periphery', that is, the minor adjacent domains of Vessoro and Babulo. Third, we offer a comprehensive discussion of Luca's role from a wider geographical perspective. In this way we produce a 'general account' that situates the symbolic and historical significance of Luca within the Timorese understanding of time, ritual, and power.",

Community Economies in Monsoon Asia: Keywords and Key Reflections. 'Asia Pacific Viewpoint', 59(1): 3-16.\r\n\r\nA diversity of place‐based community economic practices that enact ethical interdependence has long enabled livelihoods in Monsoon Asia. Managed either democratically or coercively, these culturally inflected practices have survived the rise of a cash economy, albeit in modified form, sometimes being co‐opted to state projects. In the modern development imaginary, these practices have been positioned as ‘traditional’, ‘rural’ and largely superseded. But if we read against the grain of modernisation, a largely hidden geography of community economic practices emerges. This paper introduces the project of documenting keywords of place‐based community economies in Monsoon Asia. It extends Raymond William’s cultural analysis of keywords into a non‐western context and situates this discursive approach within a material semiotic framing. The paper has been collaboratively written with co‐researchers across Southeast Asia and represents an experimental mode of scholarship that aims to advance a post‐development agenda.",

'Singapore Journal of Tropical Geography', 31: 357-370.\r\n\r\nThis paper explores how the state and others involved in the 'development enterprise' in Timor Leste are (mis)recognizing the potential of the existing environmental governance and exchange capacities of local customary institutions and practices in relation to water supply and management. Examining the problematic of water supply in a post-conflict city, it examines the intermesh of the customary, state and market sectors and ponders how customary institutions might be better supported to extend their range of political and economic credibility and contribute to a reconfiguration of dominant community-managed water supply models. The paper draws on the political and economic theory developed by Gibson-Graham (2006) and draws out in a particular place based instance the workings of a diverse economy where a customary economy is enmeshed with, and to some extent undermining, a weak capitalist sector. The paper argues that a failure to address issues of resource ownership and control and to engage the strengths and import of local customary institutions will have serious ramifications for the successful implementation of Timor Leste's national development objectives in the city of Baucau and elsewhere in Timor Leste. Instead it argues for an enlivened development approach wherein locally socialised landscapes are recognised as credible political sites with which 'development' can engage and power relations can shift.",

We argue that in this nuanced socio-ecological world, water is the blood and milk of the mother transformed into life itself through father fire. It is through these transformative capacities connected to water that the boundaries separating the visible and invisible worlds can be permeated, enabling the living access to matak malirin or good health and productive life force.

Drawing on multi-sited empirical research, we argue that the recognition and valorization of custom and common property management is a prerequisite for sustainable and equitable land tenure reform in Timor Leste. In a four-community study of the relationship between land access and the practice of rural livelihoods in eastern and western districts of Timor-Leste, where customary management systems are dominant, we found different types of traditional dispute resolution, with deep roots in traditional forms of land management and with varying levels of conflict. The article shows how customary land tenure systems have already managed to create viable moral economies. Interviewees expressed a desire for the government to formalize its recognition and support for customary systems and to provide them with basic livelihood support and services. This was more important than instituting private landholding or state appropriation of community lands, which is perceived to be the focus of national draft land laws and an internationally supported project. We suggest ways in which diverse customary institutions can co-exist and work with state institutions to build collective political legitimacy in the rural hinterlands, within the context of upgrading the quality of rural life, promoting social and ecological harmony, and conflict management.",

'International Journal of Indigenous Policy', 3(3): 1-24.\r\n\r\nThis paper has four aims:\r\n1.To describe the customary water governance systems of two neighbouring countries (Australia and Timor Leste), each at a different stage of reforming their water sectors\r\n2.Examine the difficulties faced in asserting indigenous and local rights to control waterscapes \r\n3.Reveal lessons \r\n4.Illustrate 2 themes relating to empowerment:\r\n•Recognition and prioritisation of community managed systems\r\n•Inclusion of ethical concerns and people/nature inter-relationships\r\n\r\nThe modernisation of water governance, which can entail resource commoditisation and privatisation, requires the reformation of water allocation institutions. In many parts of the world, such transformations  have empowered statutory systems to dominate or marginalise parallel, extant customary systems of water governance. The water policy and management frameworks of Australia and East Timor (Timor-Leste) are at different stages of a modernisation trajectory; yet, both have extant systems of customary governance and so lend themselves to a comparative analysis. This paper describes the institutions and negotiating arenas\r\nthrough which indigenous peoples of these two countries seek to define, increase or influence their access to water, and the legitimacy of their water related values, ethics, and practices. Institutional transformations are\r\ncompared alongside local efforts to create space for the co-existence of custom while improving the economic standing of Indigenous and local populations and the environmental quality of their territories.",

'Geoforum', 39: 3: 1321-1332.\r\n\r\nThis paper examines the role of custom and tradition in the process of nation building and resource management in post-independence Timor Leste (East Timor). While customary land tenure is alluded to but not explicitly recognized under the Timorese Constitution, it is clearly stated that all natural resources are owned by the State. However, this paper argues that rather than waiting for the government to create land and resource management related laws, local people in Timor Leste are making and remaking their own laws, mobilizing their customary practices and, increasingly, 'performing' their traditions in public demonstrations of their extant capacities. In part, this process can be read as a way of enticing in outsiders, making them a party to the law making process, a witness to its legitimacy. Often critical to such processes, is the ability of local level leaders to draw in outsiders through their engagements with the idea of 'nature'—a concept which allows diverse interests to come together in conversation and build relationships despite what is often a dissonance in the meanings and priorities attributed to the concept (see Tsing, 2005). The paper focuses on a view from the margins—Tutuala in the far east of the country—and ways in which this community is attempting to both resist and embrace the developmental hegemony of a centrist state. This, it is argued, is a case which demonstrates the power of the local (both ritually and politically) to shape and intervene in the national development process and the associated discourses of nature preservation.",

By interrogating particular cosmological understandings of water, stone and metal, my aim is to shed light on locally differential attitudes towards modernist development practices – in this case, a cement mine and factory. My argument unfolds by triangulating a discussion of cosmology, landscape and ancestral relations to make connections with, and build a narrative account of, a number of ritual prescriptions and proscriptions involving metals. In this discussion, I focus on the movement and flows of relations that are associated with, and are potentially cut off by, various agencies entangled with metallurgical matter. I ask what all this means for the authorisation of the ongoing activities involved in the creation and use of metals and other hardened objects. By the chapter’s end, I draw these insights into a discussion about visions for the future in TimorLeste framed by particular Timorese approaches to place, the mutual constitution of human and more-than-human agencies, and industrial resource extraction.",

    "Sumariu": "Chapter 6: The modern collection of plant specimens \r\n\r\nSummary: The Archaeobotany of East Timor’s early subsistence practices has not previously been the target of systematic and comprehensive research, and this is the main purpose of this doctoral thesis. The project aims at investigating early plant food management and the introduction of agriculture in East Timor, using charred plant remains from archaeological sites as a direct line of evidence. East Timor’s economy today relies mostly on subsistence farming practices, involving a diversified array of food products from different origins. Amongst the most widely distributed, maize (Zea mays) and cassava (Manihot esculenta), originated in the American tropics and are known to have been introduced after the XVI century, with the first European (Portuguese) colonial contacts. Rice (Oryza sativa) was most probably domesticated in eastern Asia, and is believed to have been introduced to Timor some time within the last 4000 years. Many fruits and nuts (such as Canarium sp., Artocarpus spp., the breadfruit, and Pandanus sp.), as well as different members of the Dioscoreaceae and Araceae families (Dioscorea alata and D. hispida yams, and taro, Colocasia esculenta), are also widely used and may have been so since the early‐ or the mid‐Holocene. The history of plant management and agricultural origins in the wider region has been mostly investigated through more indirect proxies, such as animal domesticates, pottery and pollen records. In East Timor, the first pottery and animal domesticates appear in the archaeological record around 3800‐3600 BP and are generally accepted as being associated with the introduction of full agricultural practices. However, with the exception of Ian Glover’s seminal work in the 1960s, very few plant remains from archaeological sites have ever been reported. The main corpus of this project is based on the recovery, identification, and interpretation of macrobotanical plant remains recovered during two archaeological fieldwork seasons, carried out by the author in East Timor in 2004 and 2005. Macrobotanical assemblages derived from excavations by Sue O’Connor, Matthew Spriggs and Peter Veth and not previously analysed, are also incorporated in the study, and plant remains reported by Glover reassessed. With one exception – which does not contradict the general picture – results obtained confirm the absence of rice or millets in any of the excavated assemblages, suggesting that none of these crops were introduced to East Timor with the first pottery or animal domesticates. They have arrived only in a later period, possibly within the last 2000‐1500 years, when the caves iv investigated were no longer being systematically used for habitation purposes. The macrobotanical analysis undertaken also suggests that a range of fruits and tubers have been in use in Timor since the early‐ to mid‐Holocene, and that plant exploitation probably goes back as far as ca. 40 ky before present. The method of recovery of plant remains used in the field, based on comprehensive flotation and wet‐sieving techniques, shows that it is indeed possible to unearth macrobotanical assemblages from tropical and semi‐tropical archaeological environments. Systematic comparison between archaeological specimens and a modern reference collection, based on morphological and anatomical binomial attributes and the use of both light‐powered bifocal and scanning electron microscopes, allows for positive identification of charred plant remains. The adoption of these techniques by archaeologists needs to become standard research practice across the region if we are to successfully address issues of past plant management and agricultural origins.\r\n",

In the Baucau-Viqueque region of Timor Leste understandings of and interactions with subterranean waters, and the springs from where it emerges, are deeply embedded in the foundational organizing principles of local social, political and economic life. By taking up the idea of springs as an historical “archive” and drawing on regional oral narratives associated with water, migration, rice and irrigation, this paper argues that this localized meshwork (Ingold 2011) of water history functions to encode, communicate, mediate and negotiate historical contingencies and moral values as well as the ongoing possibilities of socio-political futures. In this landscape, springs form the knots that hold together these narrative histories, while their dynamic role as focal points for ritual activities reflects, keeps strong and enables new trans-generational and trans-spatial connections.",

Fox, entitled, Harvest of the Palm: ecological change in eastern Indonesia (1977). Part colonial history, part striking comparison of livelihood ecologies, Fox’s work drew attention to the diverse contribution of sugar palm economies among the different ethno-linguistic communities of south-eastern Indonesia. At the heart of the Harvest of the Palm is an argument that centres on the contrasting ecologies of two orientations to livelihoods.  One approach celebrates the many benefits of low impact and sustainable lontar palm economies on the islands of Rote and Savu. The second approach foregrounds the destructive ‘slash and burn’ maize economies in the neighbouring Islands of Sumba and Timor. In this paper I draw on this compelling contrast to offer a comparative, middle path perspective;  one that focuses the role and practice of sugar palm production and liquor distilling among Fataluku practitioners in eastern Timor, but in a context of strong farming practices focused on seasonal maize and rice production. I argue that the strength of Fataluku traditions reinforces the role of the sugar palm as a vital component in a mixed economy of livelihood foraging and farming.  The paper also showcases the intrinsic role of the sugar palm economy among Fataluku communities across diverse realms of sociality and cultural practices. ",

    "Sumariu": "The origin of swidden systems is typically portrayed as pre-colonial, pre-nationalist and pre-developmentalist tradition, subsequently interrupted and eroded by colonial exploitation and post-colonial technoscience in favour of market agriculture. A recent counter-position to this 'anteriority model' presents swidden as reactionary 'refuge agriculture' in search of remote locations to circumvent state accountability (Scott 2009). A third model traces swidden agricultural processes as a 'dual economy' of both subsistence and commodity production. This paper examines these approaches through a study of maize and rice in eastern (Portuguese) Timor, where a particular type of environmentally damaging swidden system and colonialism are shown to be co-emergent. Accommodating new archival data and adding detail to the established position on Timor's agricultural history, it is proposed that the early 20th century was an important phase in the extension and dominance of maize in Portuguese Timor; and while far-reaching modification to rice cultivation is generally associated with the Green Revolution of the 1960s and 1970s, it is shown that the early 20th century was also a major developmental period for this grain. It is further suggested that dynamics of agricultural change have differed across the colonial divide between Portuguese and Dutch Timor. The paper calls for more comparative research on the divided island of Timor.",

It is a border that has divided and separated the\r\npeople of the ancient kingdoms of Koba Lima ever since,\r\nconstraining relationships with their ancestral sacred sites,\r\nlands and waters. Timor’s wild animals, plants and natural\r\nphenomena challenge this division. Their free co-existence and\r\nmovement through the region remain essential to the material\r\nand spiritual unity of life for people along the border. The\r\nancestral and metaphysical connections they embody and\r\nenable are continually honoured in people’s ritual practice and\r\nspeech, connecting and binding together what cross-island\r\npolitics has otherwise held apart. In this paper, we trace the\r\neffects of this constant mingling of places, words, and morethan-\r\nhuman beings, and elucidate the ways they subtly re-work\r\nthe material divisions of colonial and now postcolonial borders.\r\nThe effects of such re-workings are, we argue, to continuously\r\nextend boundaries, to celebrate multiplicity and diversity and,\r\ndespite the many challenges, to determinedly maintain a\r\ncommitment to practices that ensure cross-species unity and the\r\nflow of life.",

    "Sumariu": "Documenting the holistic, poetic and many layered understanding of being linked to water, this paper interweaves ethnographic insights with the socio-cosmic dualisms found at the heart of Timorese and other eastern archipelagic societies. Exploring the unique capacities of water in this particular regional environment, and the ways that people connect with and adapt to it, expands our understanding of the productive frictions and efficacy of these spiritual ecologies and the ways in which such an inclusive human-nature sociality actually works. It is argued that water is central to both the expression of cosmological ideas and the understanding of life itself.\r\n\r\nChapter from book 'Water Politics and Spiritual Ecology: Custom, Environmental Governance and Development'\r\n\r\n",

    "Sumariu": "Drawing out the import of a localized social ontology of water, this paper carefully considers the ways in which the regional waterscape, associated topography, underground pathways and meteorological phenomena are locally interpreted and interacted with. It argues that such processes are critical to local social and political identity formation and integration, as well as enabling insight into power and local governance configurations across time and space. In these complex engagements between people, ancestral spirits and place, the actual and metaphorical fluidity of movement with and through water demonstrates the multiple life-giving qualities of springs and the dependencies of people on them.\r\n\r\nChapter from book 'Water Politics and Spiritual Ecology: Custom, Environmental Governance and Development'",

Routledge Explorations in Environmental Studies, London and New York, 214pp.\r\n\r\nThe culmination of a decade of ethnographic research in Timor Leste, this book addresses a critical need for a sustained geographical and anthropological inquiry into the social issues of water governance. Exploring the ritual ecological practices, contexts and scales through which use, negotiation over and sharing of water occurs at the local level, this book shows the complex functioning and social, cultural, economic and environmental interdependencies of hydrological societies in the eastern region of Timor Leste. It examines the difficulties local communities face in having their rights recognised and their efforts to maintain and assert control of their waterscapes in the face of rapidly changing water governance institutions.\r\n\r\nIntegrating the concept of spiritual ecology with a critical analysis of the hydrosocial cycle, this introduction examines the ways in which modern water governance regimes have engaged with custom and tradition in Timor Leste and elsewhere.",

This paper traces the import of water and associated spirit ecologies to the production of wet-rice examining complex social, political, economic and environmental fluidities and continuities across time and space. It analyses the foundational moral economy and variously embodied beings under whose auspices irrigated rice production is enabled and local water and knowledge politics plays out. It argues that such customary economies are generative of long standing modes of environmental governance and co-operation.\r\n\r\nChapter from book 'Water Politics and Spiritual Ecology: Custom, Environmental Governance and Development'",

    "Sumariu": "The post-independence renaissance of custom in Timor Leste is both vibrant and challenging. Examining the issues which confronted customary water governance in the late twentieth century and those that surround the independence era reassertion of ancestral identities and relationships, this paper sheds light on the multiple ways these worlds are being (re)negotiated. It argues that while substantial resources have been invested in building modern water governance regimes, consideration of the the dynamism, creativity and hold of custom on local people's lives, as well as the complex socio-ecological variables impacting on the use and management of these water resources, has been hazardously overlooked.\r\n\r\nIf you would like to access this paper please email: lrpalmer@unimelb.edu.au",

    "Sumariu": "Water is central to local accounts of colonial settlement and trade and oral histories link spring water to inter-regional conflict as well as anti-colonial sentiment and resistance. These distinctive regional narrative genres and associated practices suggest that throughout the colonial period, spring water continued to play a central role in the contestations over power and place and was a key enabler of both war and peacemaking. This agency of water, and people's relations with it through the hydrosocial cycle, is shown to continue to recalibrate relations into the present.\r\n\r\nChapter from book 'Water Politics and Spiritual Ecology: Custom, Environmental Governance and Development'",

    "Sumariu": "Engaging with indigenous accounts of the region's history, this paper argues that spring water and associated mythologies have critical historical import and agency. Drawing on rich ethnographic data, mythic modalities and accompanying historical vignettes and conundrums are woven together to produce a 'general account' of the region's settlement history. What emerges from this search for narrative cohesion and a general account are the ways in which localized narratives are continually interceded by the agency of water and fire. Taken as a whole the chapter demonstrates how this life giving liquidity of water and transformative radiance of fire are, in combination, forever recasting life and responding to historical contingency.\r\n\r\nChapter from book 'Water Politics and Spiritual Ecology: Custom, Environmental Governance and Development'",
