Resumo

Tara bandu é uma cerimónia tradicional em Timor-Leste que consagra um direito consuetudinário com reconhecimento estatal desde a independência, que geralmente se aplica à escala espacial da menor divisão administrativa do território (suco) e vários anos de escala de tempo, enraizando na tradição (lisan), visando a gestão dos recursos naturais e também nas relações entre as pessoas. Embora existam evidências relacionadas aos conceitos de adat (tradição, na Indonésia) e pemali (tabu) no Sudeste Asiático e na Austranésia de que precursores de tara bandu deveriam existir antes da chegada dos portugueses no início do século XVI, ocorreu um subsequente processo diacrónico de hibridização de dispositivos icónicos estáticos e outras práticas tradicionais timorenses com os bandos coloniais portugueses, evoluindo para um ritual coreográfico com várias dimensões semióticas: a performance animista sacrificial dirigida aos espíritos dos ancestrais e a um ambiente sobrenatural (lulik), danças tradicionais e outras incluindo ritos católicos, finalizando em documentos escritos estabelecendo compromissos. Contemporaneamente, tara bandu é um evento saliente que vincula as comunidades na definição de planos participativos de uso da terra, incluindo acordos sobre limites de propriedades, regras de engajamento e também interdições e sanções. Tara bandu é mencionada atualmente como um exemplo e estudo de caso de dispositivo(s) ascendente(s) (bottom-up) contribuindo para processos de construção da pacificação social e ambiental.
