"In this energetic ethnography, anthropologist Adrienne J. Cohen traces the socialist political history that undergirds the practice of stage dance, or "ballet" in Guinea and the rise of private troupes in postsocialist Conakry. Guinean ballet goes hand in hand with state power, as the socialist state demands loyalty, but also depends on the sincerity and spontaneity of artists' performances to win the hearts and minds of spectators. Cohen shows how, decades after the death of dictator Sékou Touré, ballet continues to command the attention of Guinean youth as an experience of both loss and liberation for practitioners. Young artists perform and comment on a postsocialist urban lifeworld through improvisational dance and semiotic framing. By concentrating on a playful emerging urban lexicon of dance moves and practices and the heated intergenerational debates they spark, we see how dancers navigate-through embodied and verbal discourse-major social and economic transformations in post-revolutionary Conakry. Infinite Repertoire expands our understanding of the connection between aesthetics, affect, magic, and politics in Guinea, even as it complicates any simple dichotomy between authoritarianism and creative freedom"--

We’re losing our culture… our heritage… our traditions… everything is being swept away. Such sentiments get echoed around the world, from aging Trump supporters in West Virginia to young villagers in West Africa. But what is triggering this sense of cultural loss, and to what ends does this rhetoric get deployed? To answer these questions, anthropologist David Berliner travels around the world, from Guinea-Conakry, where globalization affects the traditional patriarchal structure of cultural transmission, to Laos, where foreign UNESCO experts have become self-appointed saviors of the nation’s cultural heritage. He also embarks on a voyage of critical self-exploration, reflecting on how anthropologists handle their own sense of cultural alienation while becoming deeply embedded in other cultures. This leads into a larger examination of how and why we experience exonostalgia, a longing for vanished cultural heydays we never directly experienced. Losing Culture provides a nuanced analysis of these phenomena, addressing why intergenerational cultural transmission is vital to humans, yet also considering how efforts to preserve disappearing cultures are sometimes misguided or even reactionary. Blending anthropological theory with vivid case studies, this book teaches us how to appreciate the multitudes of different ways we might understand loss, memory, transmission, and heritage.

- Water resources management should be assessed under climate change conditions, as historic data cannot replicate future climatic conditions. - Climate change impacts on water resources are bound to affect all water uses, i.e., irrigated agriculture, domestic and industrial water supply, hydropower generation, and environmental flow (of streams and rivers) and water level (of lakes). - Bottom-up approaches, i.e., the forcing of hydrologic simulation models with climate change models’ outputs, are the most common engineering practices and considered as climate-resilient water management approaches. - Hydrologic simulations forced by climate change scenarios derived from regional climate models (RCMs) can provide accurate assessments of the future water regime at basin scales. - Irrigated agriculture requires special attention as it is the principal water consumer and alterations of both precipitation and temperature patterns will directly affect agriculture yields and incomes. - Integrated water resources management (IWRM) requires multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches, with climate change to be an emerging cornerstone in the IWRM concept.
