The theoretical approach of (re)productivity integrates social –ecological research perspectives with feminist critics on economics. The approach can be used as a framework to analyse the ecological crises and the crises of unpaid work (such as care work or the involvement in social movements) as one: as the crises of the reproductive (see Biesecker/Hofmeister 2006: 17-20, for the approach of (re) productivity see also English article Biesecker/ Hofmeister 2010). The study presented will be the first of three empirical field studies in a PhD Project on the meaning of land tenure relationships for the crises of the reproductive in the rural Philippines. This particular study focuses on land that is collective but privately owned. In the underlying legal base, the Indigenous Peoples Rights Act (IPRA), land is conceptualized in a multidimensional and holistic way. Spiritual, social and political relations among others are included. The concept of landownership integrates different timescapes, since land is meant to be owned by all generations in present, past and future (see IPRA sec. 3 and 5). The fieldwork for the study will take place in the province of North Cotabato, Mindanao, in the end of 2013. The local group holding the collective land title of 102 000 ha is facing multiple challenges that come along with self governance at a frontier. Collective decisions on sustainable land use have to be taken while at the same time there is a massive encroachment of agro-companies, mining firms, settlers, rebels and military challenging the approach of collective ownership of all generations (see Wenk Bruehlmann 2012). What services of the ecosystem, what tasks in everyday life are included in the monetised economy? Which are commoditized and what are the patterns of exploitation? What are the local expectations of future developments concerning the scope of markets? What phenomena of crises in the sphere of reproduction derive in this particular setting? The study will take place in an area that is titled under a scheme that recognises “indigenous”, “pre-colonial” land rights and thus takes place in the setting of encounter of the so called modernity and tradition. The naturalised indigenous people and their legally presumed difference to modern society with colonial experience, the dichotomy of nature and culture, of local and scientific environmental and society-related knowledge, the experience of unpaid services, being they female or done by nature and last but not least a research-relation that includes a northern researcher and a southern community set out the area that shall be investigated using the integrated approach of (re)productivity. Methodologically this study appears to have not much similar works to rely on and thus the triangulation of methods used to measure and describe (re)productivity have to be developed and reflected from the ground. Beside the insights of the crises if self, this will constitute a major part of the aspired contribution to the stream. The methodological challenge is to overcome categories of separation such as the distinguishing between social, environmental an economic sustainability in a comprehensive way (see Schäfer 2004) due to the fundaments of feminist critics and due to the character of nature, society and economy as aspects constituting each other while being one.
