Paper long abstract:
Environmental transformations caused by the exploitation of natural resources or climate change have increased enormously in Southeast Asia during the last decades and affect gender relations and the productive and reproductive spheres of men and women. Environmental change and related transformations of economic systems and social structures thus could lead to new (self)concepts of gendered identities and gender roles. Drawing on empirical data from gender symmetric societies in Kalimantan, Indonesia, I will elaborate on negotiations, changes, and reinforcements of gendered productive and reproductive spheres induced by environmental transformations.
