There are a growing number of studies that examine how the division of control, property and labor and the spatial distribution of resources influence roles, responsibilities and norms ((Elmhirst, 2011). More recently, the debate on gender and FPE has been extended to the construction of identities through environmental struggles and practices. The emphasis is on how gender can be renegotiated in different socio-political and environmental contexts, 2006), like others by F. Sultana (Sultana, Suffering for water, suffering from water: Emotional geographies of resources access, control and conflict, 2011) shows how water (the nature) itself and water quality can influence struggles over resources and construction. of gender as much as of the way in which struggles are gendered. “Gender subjectivities are socially and discursively constructed, but they are also materially constituted through practices and discourses, and involve the production of subject positions (which are generally unstable and changing).” Sultana's argument is that gender and water relations are not only an interconnection of social axes but also of (physical) location, spatial relations, and water-related hydrogeological (ecological) conditions. The case study used examines the once-success story of groundwater tube wells in Bangladesh that are now poisoning millions of people due to natural arsenic contamination. This has led to a reduction in water security, as tube wells that are safe are usually owned by private individuals who can afford to drill to that depth. To understand gender in water management, it is important to understand who does what and why in the spatial context; this is middle of paper......orest: Gender, citizenship and creative conjugality.
