Processes of rapid and profound social and environmental change characterize the remaining rainforest areas of Indonesia. We explore these transformations as manifestations of future making und place the aspirations of local actors at centre stage. Future making refers to the ways in which visions and expectations of the future inform action in the present und how consequently the future is produced in the present.
Taking East Kalimantan as a point of departure, we study practices of future making in an interplay of numerous actors, various interests, and institutional settings linked across manifold scales. We explore diverse visions of the future and values linked to aspirations for a “better” life. Furthermore, we investigate how visions of the future are expressed, in which temporal and spatial frames of reference they are placed and how they are translated into practice.

This research project investigates the gender-specific effects of recent economic and environmental change on Dayak Societies in Indonesian Borneo. Current gender relations of the Dayak Benuaq are systematically explored on three levels: the ideal level, the normative level and the level of everyday social practice. The project further examines how the increasing integration of the Dayak Benuaq into new economic systems shapes processes by which gender identities, gender roles, and gender relations are (re-)negotiated in diverse contexts and situations. Special attention is paid to the diverse ways in which gender is interwoven with other factors such as class, education, ethnic identity and age in the formation of new inequalities.
