[Anthropgrad] Feedback

[Cathy Day]

Thanks for your feedback Mary.
 
That part of the Digest format is fixed and not alterable by the List
Administrator, as other options are.
 
The information above the index is intended to be prominent, as the most
commonly asked questions are in that block. For example, it informs
subscribers that to contact the mailing list administrator they should
send an email to anthropgrad-owner at anu.edu.au, rather than to the list
itself using anthropgrad at anu.edu.au. 
 
If subscribers are genuinely bothered by scrolling down half a page to
see the list of topics, they are probably better off changing from
Digest mode to Mail mode. That way each message is separate, and they
get a meaningful subject heading for each one. They can then choose not
to open the email if the subject is of no interest to them, and just
delete it. The volume of emails on Anthropgrad is low, so there will
only be a small increase in traffic. The choice of the most convenient
format is up to the subscriber.
 
Regards,
 
Cathy Day
Anthropgrad List Administrator

	Greetings,
	
	I have some feedback regarding your email digest format. In
conversation with a couple of rspas people recently, I noted their
frustration with the format of your email circular, claiming they are
too busy to read it because it requires scrolling down to access the
information. A simple way to avoid this concern would be to put the
subscription information at the bottom of the email.
	
	Regards, Mary

		Political or 'Independen'?: Changing Perceptions of
Power and Leadership 
		in Timor Leste by Maj Nygaard-Christensen
		
		During Timor's resistance against Indonesia, the
resistance leadership 
		involved in armed struggle within Timor was surrounded
with an air of 
		mystery. Individual leaders were revered for their
charisma and ability 
		to outsmart Indonesian troops, so overwhelming in
number. Today, much of 
		the political elite in Timor consist of former members
of the resistance 
		- returned exiles and former guerrillas or clandestine
members. My 
		interest in this paper is what the shift from being
participants in a 
		movement /against/ with much popular support to being
leaders in a 
		modern nation-building project involved in state-level
political life 
		has meant for these leaders. I will focus firstly on how
popular 
		narratives of such leaders are changing and secondly, I
will look closer 
		at the strategies of certain high level leaders in
gaining political 
		legitimacy in Timor Leste today.
		
		Maj Nygaard-Christensen is a PhD candidate at the
Department of 
		Anthropology at Aarhus University in Denmark visiting
RSPAS until the 
		end of May 2008. Her fieldwork was conducted in Timor
Leste between 
		February and December 2007 and in April 2008, during the
time of the 
		presidential and parliamentary elections. The PhD
focusss on notions of 
		leadership and power.
