SANTOS FILHO, Miguel Antonio dos. Dramas, socializations and trainings: legal pedagogies in an NGO in contemporary East-Timor. Etnográfica [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.3, pp.755-774. ISSN 0873-6561.  https://doi.org/10.4000/etnografica.7608.

This article focuses on some practices of the Forum for East-Timorese Women’s Communication (Komunikasi Untuk Perempuam Lorosa’e - Fokupers), a non-governmental organization (NGO) active in the fight against domestic violence in East-Timor. Such practices are aimed at women directly affected by domestic violence and young people engaged in the struggle for gender equality in the country. I take them to discuss the ways in which they are designed for these audiences by analyzing their constituent elements, their potentials, and their implications. I understand them as resources for social and political participation that reveal some aspects of the broader East-Timorese society - or at least of how this society and its values are represented in the discourses mobilized by the NGO team. I argue that such activities appear as legal pedagogies through which different dimensions flow: the reorientation of behaviors and practices of women affected by domestic violence and other subjects; the instrumentalization of legal mechanisms; and, finally, the intensification of disputes over competitive systems of conflicts resolution
