本文追溯了菲律宾城市宿务的城市贫困房主协会成员在日常社会生殖实践中所蕴含的希望劳动。它探讨了对住房和土地保有权保障的渴望以及城市中对机会的（失败的）承诺如何在生活在非正规住区的妇女和男子的叙述和活动中实现。我认为，社会性的希望，推动和维持房主协会，生产性别劳动力的弹性在日常情况下的贫困，不确定性，风险和流离失所。正如我所揭示的，这些基于护理的做法是希望的表达，这些希望是由与家庭、勤劳和为他人服务有关的道德准则驱动的。这些发现加强了希望作为地理研究中分析透镜的效用;它将劳动的概念化扩大到经济生产之外，在这种情况下，还包括支撑人们日常适应力的情感体现和生殖活动。
This article traces the labours of hope embedded in the everyday social reproductive practices of urban poor homeowner association members in Metro Cebu, the Philippines. It explores how aspirations for housing and land tenure security and the (failed) promises of opportunity bound in the urban materialise in the narratives and activities of women and men living in informal settlements. I argue that the sociality of hope, which propels and sustains homeowner associations, produces gendered labours of resilience amidst everyday circumstances of poverty, uncertainty, risk and displacement. As I reveal, these care-based practices constitute expressions of hope that are driven by moral codes associated with the family, industriousness and service to others. These findings reinforce the utility of hope as an analytical lens in geographical studies; one which broadens conceptualisations of labour beyond economic production to include, in this case, the emotional embodiments and reproductive activities that underpin people’s everyday resilience.
