En este artículo se analiza la primera década de existencia del Instituto Latinoamericano de Planificación Económica y Social (ILPES). Si bien podría sostenerse que toda la historia del Instituto, y de la CEPAL, estuvieron marcadas por la figura de Raúl Prebisch, ello es más cierto todavía en el mencionado periodo, que va desde julio de 1962 hasta enero de 1973, durante el cual ejerció la función de Director General. La historia del ILPES se configuró de la mano de Raúl Prebisch, y es en el recorrido de este nexo que se visualiza cómo fueron cambiando las condiciones iniciales, las alianzas, los actores, los compromisos que sumados a una continua crisis de dirección desencadenaron una serie de eventos que repercutieron en la edificación de este organismo.This article analyzes the first decade of the Latin American and Caribbean Institute for Economic and Social Planning (ILPES). Although it can be argued that the entire history of the Institute and that of ECLAC were framed by the figure of Raul Prebisch, this is particularly true for the period from July 1962 to January 1973 when he was Director General. The history of ILPES was shaped by the hand of Raul Prebisch, and in reviewing this connection it is possible to visualize changes in the initial conditions, alliances, actors, and compromises that together with a continuous leadership crisis produced a series of events that affected the construction of this organization.

Purpose The official history of an organization is usually found on the organization’s website and in brochures. The purpose of this paper is to explore the narrative of an institution’s official history, the autobiography, as compared to the biography constructed by researchers. Design/methodology/approach A case study was conducted on the Organization of Latin American Immigrants in Israel (OLEI), covering the entire history of the organization. Based on a longitudinal, holistic and qualitative perspective, the research methodology combines data collected from interviews, archival and digital sources. The access to these data enables researchers to explore some of the reasons and circumstance behind the construction of the official history. Findings The analysis of the data revealed a significant gap between the autobiography and the biography in four episodes. The common thread running through them was the creation of a narrative that reinforces and emphasizes the growth and stability of the organization, through the use of strategies such as forgetting, erasing and remythologizing. This narrative was found to have been re-constructed following a period of instability. Originality/value The originality of this study relies on the use of the terminology of autobiography and biography for the exploration of the official history of an organization. The innovative research methodology applied in this paper, which compares an organization’s biography with its autobiography, enables the exploration of different dimensions and dynamics, emphasizing the value of understanding autobiography by constructing a biography.

Especially dangerous infections (EDIs) belong to the conditionally labelled group of infectious diseases that pose an exceptional epidemic threat. They are highly contagious, rapidly spreading and capable of affecting wide sections of the population in the shortest possible time, they are characterized by the severity of clinical symptoms and high mortality rates. At the present stage, the term "especially dangerous infections" is used only in the territory of the countries of the former USSR, all over the world this concept is defined as "infectious diseases that pose an extreme threat to public health on an international scale." Over the entire history of human development, more people have died as a result of epidemics and pandemics than in all wars combined. The list of especially dangerous infections and measures to prevent their spread were fixed in the International Health Regulations (IHR), adopted at the 22nd session of the WHO's World Health Assembly on July 26, 1969. In 1970, at the 23rd session of the WHO's Assembly, typhus and relapsing fever were excluded from the list of quarantine infections. As amended in 1981, the list included only three diseases represented by plague, cholera and anthrax. However, now annual additions of new infections endemic to different parts of the earth to this list take place. To date, the World Health Organization (WHO) has already included more than 100 diseases in the list of especially dangerous infections.
