El avistamiento de objetos extraños en el cielo es un asunto que se ha vuelto demasiado frecuente con el paso de los años en todos los confines del planeta. De ahí que sorprenda la desidia de los Estados a la hora de intentar descubrir qué se oculta detrás de estos fenómenos. Se podría afirmar, tal y como lo hacen los autores de este singular texto, que para los Estados el fenómeno de los ovnis es un no-fenómeno: se reconoce su existencia pero, al no perseguir su investigación, esta se relega al estatus de la «indecibilidad» o, lo que es lo mismo, en la práctica se asume que los ovnis existen pero, en realidad, no existen.La soberanía moderna es por definición antropocéntrica, es decir, está constituida y organizada con los seres humanos como única referencia. Sin embargo, quizás sus verdaderos límites se evidencien en el tabú de tomar en serio el fenómeno de los ovnis. Este tabú se explica por los imperativos funcionales de la soberanía antropocéntrica, incapaz de admitir una excepción a la primacía del ser humano sobre todas las cosas y a la soberanía estatal como expresión de este poder ontológico absoluto que, supuestamente, detentamos sobre el resto del universo.
The Ancient Mythology: Egyptian, Assyrian, Babylonian, Greek and Roman Myths
The Ancient Near East is considered the cradle of civilization. Mesopotamia is a historical region of Western Asia situated within the Tigris–Euphrates river system. Babylonia was an Amorite state in lower Mesopotamia where an empire was created out of the territories of the former kingdoms of Sumer and Akkad. Assyria was a region on the Upper Tigris whose kings controlled a large kingdom at three different times in history, covering most of the Middle East. Ancient Egypt was a civilization of ancient North Africa, concentrated along the lower reaches of the Nile River. Around the 8th century BC the torch of civilization was taken from the Near East to ancient Greece and Rome. Both Greek and Roman societies flourished and wielded great influence throughout much of Europe, Northern Africa, and Western Asia. The rise of civilization corresponded with the institutional sponsorship of belief in gods, supernatural forces and the afterlife. Many civilizations adopted their own form of Polytheism and each of these nations developed their own mythologies which influenced the culture, arts, and literature of both Eastern and Western civilization.

Das deutsche Jahr - Einblicke in die Wiedervereinigung 1989/1990
Die Wiedervereinigung Deutschlands in den Erinnerungen eines Diplomaten!Das Jahr 1989 war ein wichtiges für Deutschland, denn es war das Jahr des Mauerfalls. Doch dieser Triumph stellte das Land vor eine neue Herausforderung: die DDR musste nun in die Bundesrepublik eingeordnet werden. Jedoch glückten diese Veränderungen im «deutschen Jahr», welches eigentlich den Zeitraum 1989 und 1990 umfasst, besser als erwartet. Duisberg, der die Politik in dieser Zeit durch seine Position im Bundeskanzleramt aus nächster Nähe miterlebt hat, beschreibt die Ereignisse der spannungsreichen Verhandlungen und den resultierenden Einigungsvertrag mit seinen Einblicken.-
The Life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony
A picture of some phases of life in the early days of the Massachusetts Bay Colony is presented in the following pages. It follows many of the every day happenings, the manners and customs of daily life. Few realize how modern are the furnishings and comforts of our present-day houses and how different was the home life of our ancestors. Chairs were unknown in ordinary English households until a generation or so before the sailing of the Mayflower. Hats were worn at meals and the use of table forks did not become general until the last of the 1600s. Food was placed in the mouth with the knife or the fingers. This is a collection of source materials, somewhat digested, rather than a comprehensive, well-balanced narrative of daily life in the Colony. Contents: Every Day Life in the Massachusetts Bay Colony The Voyage To Massachusetts Their Early Shelters and Later Dwellings How They Furnished Their Houses Counterpanes and Coverlets Concerning Their Apparel Pewter in the Early Days The Farmhouse and the Farmer Manners and Customs Sports and Games Trades and Manufactures Concerning Shipping and Trade From Wampum To Paper Money Herb Tea and the Doctor Crimes and Punishments
The Negro in Chicago - A Study of Race Relations and a Race Riot
Chicago Commission on Race Relations
"The Negro in Chicago" is a sociological study published in 1922 by the University of Chicago Press. The study included a substantial review of the background of the Chicago riots of July and August 1919, the riots themselves, and their aftermath, together with original work and investigation into the relations between and perceptions of the black and white communities in Chicago. At this time, the city experienced a substantial increase of Black migration from the South. World War I had brought industrial jobs to cities in the North but many of these jobs were subject to a color bar and only available to whites. The arrival of black people in northern cities led to an increase in rent in underdeveloped neighborhoods and white flight. Expansion of the ghetto caused friction among white residents, which eventually led to riots.

Lawfare, o la continuación de la política por otros medios
Internándonos en las lecturas sobre el lawfare descubrimos un problema mayor: las condiciones que lo posibilitaron con la instauración de gobiernos de excepción que en la región comenzaron con la presidencia de Mauricio Macri (2015) y la destitución de Dilma Rousseff (2016). Si Argentina y Brasil podían imponer neodemocracias (después de todo hay neoliberalismos, neonazis, neoconservadurismos), era de suponer que esos nuevos emprendimientos institucionales servirían de ejemplo para el resto. Democracias fraguadas, no por la manipulación de datos electorales, sino por el encarcelamiento, incubación de desprestigio y persecución de los principales candidatos a ganarlas. No tuvieron hijos no reconocidos, ni participaron de cohechos, ni desviaron fondos públi-cos, ni resultaron ser autores intelectuales de triples crímenes o de fiscal alguno.
