Cet article examine la dynamique complexe des pratiques pastorales de lʼÉglise de lʼAssemblée de Dieu à Atauro (Timor-Est) et la manière dont elles remettent en question la transmission des récits dʼorigine, des savoirs rituels et de divers aspects du patrimoine local. À partir dʼenquêtes ethnographiques menées à Usubemassu/Beloi en 2019 et 2022, il explore également comment les institutions locales sont réinterprétées comme des produits du christianisme. Le rejet de la catégorie indigène ʻlulikʼ et les efforts visant à remplacer la toponymie locale par des équivalents chrétiens constituent des exemples frappants de ce processus de transformation. Ces dynamiques mettent en lumière les complexités inhérentes à la coexistence entre le christianisme protestant et les savoirs traditionnels dans la région. |
