Abstract

Abstract:This paper is an exploratory exercise in understanding the construction of international regions using anthropological perspectives, with Timor-Leste as a case study. We propose that 'local beyond-border perspectives' establish a new domain within the world at large as a representation of transnationalism and globalization 'from the bottom-up'. We discuss this using an interdisciplinary approach—anthropology and international relations—to contribute to the study of international regions through a complementary double-ideological system spanning state relations and local perspectives. We argue that the beyond-border perceptions that people from Timor-Leste have of regional organizations are more appropriately understood as projections of their narratives and aspirations. Such situational flexibility, understood as pragmatic transnationalism, builds upon ancient narratives and inside-outside relations.
地方视角与国际区域的形成:以东帝汶为例
摘要:本文以东帝汶为研究对象,从人类学的角度对国际区域的建构进行了探索。我们建议“本地超越边界的视角”在世界范围内建立一个新的领域,作为“自下而上”的跨国主义和全球化的代表。我们使用跨学科的方法——人类学和国际关系——来讨论这个问题,通过跨越国家关系和地方视角的互补的双重意识形态系统,为国际地区的研究做出贡献。我们认为,东帝汶人民对区域组织的超越边界的看法更恰当地理解为他们的叙述和愿望的预测。这种情境灵活性,被理解为实用主义跨国主义,建立在古老的叙事和内外关系之上。
