Casa de las AmEricas y Mundo Nuevo construyeron sus discursos sobre dos maneras distintas de entender la legitimidad intelectual: donde una privilegiaba el compromiso crItico del intelectual, la otra avalaba su autonomIa estEtica. De las fricciones entre esos dos modelos se ocupa este libro, que, al decir de RubEn Chababo, puede verse «no sOlo como un aporte fundamental para el estudio de un momento paradigmAtico en la historia del campo cultural latinoamericano ...], sino ademAs como una sOlida y exhaustiva propuesta de reflexiOn en torno a las relaciones que los...

REMEMBERING IS THE DUTY OF THOSE WHO LIVE IN EXCEPTIONAL TIMES

The 1980s were a pivotal time in the development of venture capital that led to great innovations throughout the world. As recounted in this third volume of journals, Jacques Vallee found his passion in this world, while he witnessed with concern the increasing manipulation and disinformation that discouraged rational research into ufology. But he persisted in his first-hand UFO investigations in the US, Europe, and South America, and here strips from the historical record the secrecy behind which research into the...

THESE THINGS REALLY HAPPENED AND SHAPED THE WORLD IN WHICH WE LIVE

With the end game in Vietnam and the turpitudes of Watergate in the background, the major topic of this second volume in the journals of Jacques Vallee is paranormal research. Vallee relates his behind-the-scenes experiences in California during the 1970s as the Human Potential Movement emerged, the Internet developed, and parapsychology secretly entered the physics laboratory. And all the while, as Vallee continued his examination of UFO encounters, the links to older mysteries became increasingly clear.

IF SCIENCE REFUSES TO DEAL WITH THIS TOPIC, THEN WHAT IS SCIENCE FOR?

Beginning after the launch of Sputnik and ending with the landing on the moon, the first volume of Jacques Vallee's journals details how UFOs, in the midst of a proliferation of sightings in the 1960s, became a forbidden science. In this beautifully written journal, Vallee reveals just how the scientific community was misled by the government, how the best data on UFOs was kept hidden, and how the public record was shamelessly manipulated.

"This dazzling diary offers a glimpse into the mind of a scientist who...

In 1847, 17 year-old Miss Ellen Palmer had the world at her feet. A debutante at the start of her first London season, Ellen was beautiful, rich, accomplished, and about to experience the world of dances, opera visits, and dinner parties that were a rite-of-passage for young women of her class.

To record the glittering whirl of activity, Ellen started writing a diary, a daily account that was discovered more than a century later by her descendants. For Ellen, the path to true love did not run smooth - after a scandalous encounter with a duplicitous Swedish count, her marriage prospects...

This is a very rare survival - a contemporary diary from Bletchley Park, kept by a man for whom conversation was the essential oil of daily life, both inside and outside the office. Basil Cottle arrived at Bletchley Park in September 1943, after medical discharge from the Army. He worked in Hut 6 (Block D) on Enigma material, staying on after VE day to work on Albanian, before a long career at the University of Bristol. Well aware of BP security rules, Cottle usually refers only obliquely to the content of his work - but gives free rein to his opinion of colleagues, landladies, and anyone...
