Version 3 August 20, 2018 Evan Stark Narrator Kim Heikkila Interviewer June 17, 2018, & October 17, 2018 Evan Stark -ES Kim Heikkila -KH KH: This is an interview for the Minnesota Historical Society’s Minnesota in the Vietnam War Era Oral History Project. It is Sunday, June 17, 2018, and I’m here in Madison, Wisconsin with Evan Stark. Evan is in town from Connecticut for the fiftieth anniversary celebration event / conference / reunion of the Dow Chemical [Dow Chemical Company, Midland, MI] protests on the campus [University of Wisconsin– Madison, Madison, WI] here in Wisconsin. My name is Kim Heikkila. Today I’ll be talking to Evan about his role in the anti-Vietnam War movement in Minnesota with a specific focus on his activities in the Honeywell Project. But we are going to put all of that into a bigger, broader context because Evan has a long history of activism that isn’t and wasn’t focused specifically— ES: So you’re Finnish. Heikkila. KH: I am. Heikkila, yes. And we’re kind of, just so everybody knows, we’re on a schedule today because Evan has to catch a plane back to Connecticut this morning so we’re going to get down to business and focus and get him out of here on time so he doesn’t miss his flight. So thank you so much, Evan, for squeezing this in.

Les ami•e•s de Variations L’exil du sociologue : Ernest Manheim, un migrant ordinaire 1 L’exil du sociologue : Ernest Manheim, un migrant ordinaire Aldo Häsler 1 Cousin de Karl Mannheim, Ernest (Ernö, Ernst) Manheim, sociologue, anthropologue et compositeur d’origine hongroise, fait partie de ces migrants que l’histoire a poussés de pays en pays, de recherche en recherche, de vie en vie. L’exil n’est pas toujours malheureux, comme en témoigne le parcours singulier de Manheim qui de Budapest à Vienne, de Vienne à Kiel, de Kiel à Leipzig, de Leipzig à Londres, de Londres à New York, de New York à Chicago puis finalement de Chicago à Kansas City, a adapté ses intérêts de recherche à chaque nouvelle étape de son périple, accomplissant une œuvre sociologique considérable, sans toutefois trouver dans l’ancienne Europe l’écho qui lui était dû. En marge de cette tentative de reconnaissance, je me pencherai sur la figure de la distance objectivante de l’exil et sur la plasticité particulière du sociologue traversant un siècle étrangement troublé.

The founders of Mass-Observation, the anthropologist Tom Harrisson, journalist and poet Charles Madge and documentary filmmaker Humphrey Jennings, aimed to record everyday life in Britain. This ‘anthropology of ourselves’ culminated in the union of two disparate projects: Harrisson’s Worktown in the north of England and Madge and Jennings’s National Panel based in London.

  • Surrender and Catch As a Method for Qualitative
    Surrender and catch as a methodology for qualitative sociology by Roberto Cipriani (Roma Tre University, Rome, Italy) Premise Surrender and Catch: Experience and Inquiry Today, published by Kurt H. Wolff (1976), was the outcome of a long incubation; it, had been originally “formulated” (Wolff’s term) in 1950 and impregnated, long before that, starting, presumably, with Karl Mannheim’s influential teaching “in the early thirties”. The present essay intends following and exploring this pathway in an effort to understand the true origin of the “surrender-and-catch” formula, which has evident roots in the classical, philosophical approach of ancient Greek culture, where the idea of ἐποχή, implying procrastination and suspension, was an attitude typical of the thinking of the sceptics, later to become the Latin assensionis retentio (postponing a decision) of the Romans. Another source cannot, however, be excluded; one might look, for instance, to the culture and literature of the Arabs where a similar idea was widespread. The same may be said of the Jewish culture, to which Kurt H. Wolff ‘s family belonged. In general, if “surrender” can be defined as a suspension, “catch” is the result of this suspension. From a sociological perspective the “surrender and catch” expression derives, of course, from the experiential and existential basis of Wolff’s epistemology and hermeneutics. It actually began with a walk, an “initiatory” walk, a common, daily activity that was the starting point from which to “regain meaning for all who are convinced that meaning has been lost” (Wolff 1976, 3). As a matter of fact Wolff’s book on “surrender and catch” is not an autobiography but, as he himself explains, every statement says something about him and is the result of interaction between subject and object.
