SUMMARY:Ritual Exchange in Timor-Leste: Regulation, Resistance, and Social Inequality in the Post-Independence Era (1)
LOCATION:REC A2.08
DESCRIPTION:This panel seeks to explore the implications of the perceived o
 r real intensification of customary exchanges, specifically “lia mate
 ” (death rituals) and “lia moris,” (life rituals) in Timo
 r-Leste since its independence. There has been a growing call for state inv
 olvement in regulating the form and content of these exchanges, as they are
  often perceived as draining household resources, exacerbating community te
 nsions, and contributing to gender discrimination and inequality within Eas
 t Timorese society. We aim to examine how various interventions, both regul
 atory and resistance-oriented, state and non-state, have sought to shape or
  reaffirm these exchange relations in contemporary East Timorese society. I
 n this panel, we invite participants to reconsider and reflect on the role 
 of exchange mechanisms in the context of mounting social and economic inequ
 ality. We pose critical questions for exploration: What is the extent and s
 cope of ritual exchange in contemporary Timor-Leste? Who does it involve an
 d how are these relationships articulated? Do ritual exchanges exacerbate e
 conomic inequality, or can they function as mechanisms for redistributing r
 esources? Do they serve as platforms for the reinforcement or renegotiation
  of social and gender hierarchies? What roles do both the State and non-sta
 te actors (including the Catholic and Christian (Protestant) Churches play 
 in the regulation of these exchanges, and what is the underlying significan
 ce of their involvement? Furthermore, we encourage contributors to explore 
 related phenomena such as sorcery accusations, domestic violence, and theft
 , considering how these may function as means of either resisting or reaffi
 rming the significance of customary exchange in everyday life. By scrutiniz
 ing the intricate interplay between rituals, governance, and the state, thi
 s panel seeks to foster a deeper understanding of the dynamics at play in T
 imor-Leste and similar contexts. We invite researchers to share their insig
 hts, research findings, and perspectives, contributing to a comprehensive d
 ialogue on the multifaceted dimensions of customary exchanges and their imp
 act on societal norms, wealth distribution, and socioeconomic disparities.
