Abstract

This article analyses, from an ethnographic example in Portuguese Timor, involving an anthropologist and a group of Timorese, the (dis)agreements between the anthropologist’s written memories and the oral ones, collected together with the countrymen of the original interlocutors. The dissonance between these memories expresses different perspectives of the same event and the intentions and valuation given to what is expressed and what is omitted by the interveners.
