Since 2013, substantial public funding has initiated an economic development mega-project (ZEESM) in Oecusse, Timor-Leste. A new regional governance structure (RAEOA) with one authoritative leader over both endeavours has supported project execution, aimed at readying the region's infrastructure to attract hoped-for foreign investment. Less visible is how governance practices are shifting political authority toward centralised control and reduced political accountability in the enclave. This article focuses on a localised expression of economic development techno-politics combined with technocratic-leaning governance. Political issues are treated as technical matters, allowing technical specialists to lead in their resolution. Despite open political party involvement since ZEESM/RAEOA's outset, focusing on technical aspects has sidestepped the deeper political issues of representation in governance and decision-making. A decontextualised scientific pragmatism presumes that buildings, landscapes, and livelihoods are easily interchangeable. The politics/technology intersection is evident as technological advance is projected to overlay political effectiveness, thus bolstering political authority and legitimacy.

This paper focuses on a Christian model of leprosy care overseen by Catholic nuns in Quy Hòa, a leprosarium in South Central Vietnam, from 1929—when the leper colony was established—until 1975, when the American-backed Southern regime collapsed and all of Quy Hòa’s foreign nuns were forced to leave. Drawing on recollections of elderly residents of the former leprosy colony, it describes the close and loving attention that the nuns offered to inmates, an attentiveness that was informed by the nuns’ ethic of Christian sacrifice. The nuns at Quy Hòa successfully built a quasi parent–child relationship with leprosy-afflicted inmates. Their striking devotion to the ‘lepers’ resembles substitute motherhood. However, these recollections of that era also shed critical light on an approach to leprosy care that was premised on hierarchy, strictly enforced segregation from the wider community and pronounced paternalism towards all those who came under the nuns’ rule of care.

This article explores how death is conceptualised by elderly lay Buddhist women in Hồ Chí Minh City (Vietnam). It explores the traits of a ‘good death’ which elderly laywomen wish to experience, and their dedicated practice of Buddhism to prepare themselves for a peaceful end stage of life. This article contends that, in fact, women’s perceptions of death speak to their desires to live a life with dignity and retain their full personhood and nurturing femininity which they have embodied throughout their adult lives even until their last moments. They pursue devotional practices to train their body and mind in order to prepare themselves for the critical moment of dying, believing that these self-cultivating practices will enable them to transcend physical suffering and mental confusion, and immediately move on to the next, better life.

Regular floods impact negatively on the health and wellbeing of slum dwellers in Jakarta and it is understandable that the victims seek access to justice. Fieldwork in one of Jakarta's most flood-prone neighbourhoods, Bantaran Kali, reveals that riverbank settlers there access what they perceive to be justice by engaging in a number of different social networks that are neither formal nor informal—they feature in between civil society and the state. In this article I explore the network ties that are used by individual slum dwellers to access justice. I will show that in the context of extreme flood risk and related uncertainty, this form of social capital makes a significant difference to the community and to households, and with respect to individuals' resilience. By exploring this particular avenue of access to justice, I show that a sense of justice is achieved not through the formal agencies of government but by means of social networks in a space that fits uneasily in the dichotomy of state and non-state.

This article explores the role played by risk-seeking Timorese youth, known as the New Generation (Geraçao Foun), in the resistance movement against Indonesian occupation (1975–1999). It discusses the capture, regimentation and marginalisation of youthful radicalism by the national resistance movement. The paper looks at these processes of youth revolutionary involvement sympathetically though the memories of former participants in the clandestine struggle and is representative of a new reflexive phase in young Timorese' post-colonial self-realisation. This phase is decidedly non-triumphalist, one which dwells on the inability to be ‘recompensed’ for the dreams that were captured and lives that were side-tracked in a conflict that consumed youth.

to obsessively ‘prove’ his counter-history. As this short review of Refracted Visions indicates, this highly readable and carefully produced volume, which received the 2011 Gregory Bateson book prize of the AAA’s Society for Cultural Anthropology, will arouse the interest of Indonesianists of various disciplinary backgrounds, as well as anthropologists working in Southeast Asia (and beyond) and the broader readership concerned with visual cultures. As Strassler briefly alludes to in the epilogue, in the meantime, photography in Indonesia, as almost everywhere else on the planet, has become digital and has gone online. Today’s Indonesia, boasting the world’s third largest Facebook community, thus witnesses the production and circulation of images on an unprecedented scale. As such, whereas Refracted Visions is appreciated in its own right for the topics and time periods it covers, readers are invited to find additional inspiration by consulting the book as a ‘pre-history’ of the current digital/online photography boom that is rapidly transforming Indonesia’s visual cultures.

the author notes that his respondents were reluctant to talk about their lives in Singapore, greater exploration of these issues is essential if we are to accept the claims made about the central role that Batam plays in the lives of Singaporean Malay working-class men. Overall, I was disappointed that Lindquist was unable to move beyond the narrow focus of his doctoral work and situate this study in its historical and ethnographic context. As a study of one group of marginalised working-class migrants in Indonesia, the book is insightful and well-written. As a study of migration and tourism in the Indonesian borderlands it lacks sufficient attention to the complex interplay of local and global forces that shape life in the Riau Islands.
