| Zusammenfassung: | "Examining the Myth of Natural Resource Management in Namibia Environmental Infrastructure in African History offers a new approach for analyzing and narrating environmental change. Environmental change conventionally is understood as occurring in a linear fashion, moving from a state of more nature to a state of less nature and more culture. In this model, non-Western and premodern societies live off natural resources, whereas more modern societies rely on artifact, or nature that is transformed and domesticated through science and technology into culture. In contrast, Emmanuel Kreike argues that both non-Western and premodern societies inhabit a dynamic middle ground between nature and culture. He asserts that humans- in collaboration with plants, animals, and other animate and inanimate forces - create environmental infrastructure that constantly is remade and reimagined in the face of ongoing processes of change"... |

THE MODERN WEST; CONCLUSION.
EXAMINING THE MYTH OF NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN NAMIBIA
ENVIRONMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE IN AFRICAN HISTORY OFFERS A NEW APPROACH
FOR ANALYZING AND NARRATING ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE. ENVIRONMENTAL CHANGE
CONVENTIONALLY IS UNDERSTOOD AS OCCURRING IN A LINEAR FASHION, MOVING
FROM A STATE OF MORE NATURE TO A STATE OF LESS NATURE AND MORE CULTURE.
IN THIS MODEL, NON-WESTERN AND PREMODERN SOCIETIES LIVE OFF NATURAL
RESOURCES, WHEREAS MORE MODERN SOCIETIES RELY ON ARTIFACT, OR NATURE
THAT IS TRANSFORMED AND DOMESTICATED THROUGH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY INTO
CULTURE. IN CONTRAST, EMMANUEL KREIKE ARGUES THAT BOTH NON-WESTERN AND
PREMODERN SOCIETIES INHABIT A DYNAMIC MIDDLE GROUND BETWEEN NATURE AND
CULTURE. HE ASSERTS THAT HUMANS- IN COLLABORATION WITH PLANTS, ANIMALS,
AND OTHER ANIMATE AND INANIMATE FORCES - CREATE ENVIRONMENTAL
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT CONSTANTLY IS REMADE AND REIMAGINED IN THE FACE OF
ONGOING PROCESSES OF CHANGE
