In north central Timor-Leste, multi-sensory ecological
engagement is deeply entangled with conceptualisations
of and approaches to people’s wellbeing. How people understand
human health and wellbeing is closely related to
how they understand nature or more particularly human/
nature relations and distinctions across multiple timescales.
Working through complex cosmopolitics and activated
through cross-temporal more-than-human ‘mutualities of
being’, kinship networks are attuned to relational flows
between ‘bodies’ and things. Rather than concentrating on
the disjunctions created by the differences in the natures of
beings or their ritual separation, this paper examines how
relational flows between such ‘bodies’ and things open up
cosmopolitical spaces for the creation and negotiation of intergenerational
wellbeing.
