The scholars, which include Victoria Haskins of the University of Newscastle, use a range of social science history methods to explore new paths to colonial history. How were individuals, groups, and social categories able to order their lives in the face of the implementation of external dominance? In other words, what was the agency enabling them to interact with, adapt to, use, counteract and in the end defeat colonialism? The essays emphasize colonialism as a multifaceted historical phenomenon which has taken a number of mutually incompatible forms. The various texts thus reflect on both the “early” colonialism build on indirect and informal practices, and the later forms marked by a high degree of authoritarian control.

Le présent article se veut une réplique à l’étude récente de Douglas Kammen “ Queens of Timor” (Archipel 84, 2012). Étudiant les nombreuses petites entités politiques («royaumes » ) du Timor portugais, Kammen y relève la remarquable multiplication de dirigeantes féminines au cours du XIXe siècle, phénomène expliqué par l’interaction entre maison, royaume et administration coloniale. Cependant, l’existence du pouvoir féminin avant 1800 n’est pas aussi rare que le suggère Kammen. Au contraire, les sources archivistiques contemporaines (néerlandaises et portugaises) révèlent un modèle cyclique de reines au pouvoir. Alors que pratiquement aucune dirigeante n’est attestée au cours du XVIIIe siècle, il existe au moins onze de ces cas à Timor et dans les îles environnantes durant la période 1640-1700, c’est-à-dire dès le moment où l’on dispose d’une documentation détaillée sur Timor. Certaines acquirent leur position par héritage, d’autres par leur statut de veuve d’ancien dirigeant. Cet article discute la question de la royauté timoraise en relation avec la montée contemporaine du pouvoir féminin à Aceh, Patani, et ailleurs. Comme dans ces régions, la disparition provisoire du pouvoir féminin à Timor après 1700 pourrait être liée à des forces externes, dans ce cas les nouveaux réseaux mis en place par les autorités européennes.
