Field Theory as Human-Science: Contributions Of Lewin's Berlin Group

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

COMPILED WITH COMMENTARY BY JOSEPH DE RIVERA

KURT Lewin was one of the founding members of the Society for the Psycho-logical Study of Social Issues (SPSSI), a group of some 3,000 persons with atruly democratic structure and set of ideals. In 1963, the Council of the Society decided to use the Kurt Lewin Memorial Fund to facilitate the translation and publication of some of the early papers by Lewin and his students, and accepted my proposal to give priority to the many doctoral dissertations that were supervised by Lewin and formed the empirical background for the development of field theory. While I believe that this was the best course of action,it does mean that the bulk of Lewin's own early work still remains to be translated. A listing of this work may be found in Alfred Marrow's biography,The Practical Theorist, and some of the royalties from this present book will be returned to the Lewin Memorial Fund and eventually used to insure the translation of these earlier studies.

ON COMMUNICATION AND SOCIAL INFLUENCE: Selected Papers

MAY COONTAIN MARKUP

Gabriel Tarde. Edited and with an Introduction by TERRY N. CLARK

PrefaceSOME OF THE NECLECT of Tarde in the English-speakingworld is due to the fact that several of his more serious works have never been translated. Accordingly, to present a meaningful sam-pling of his many contributions, it has been necessary to translate for the first time more than three-quarters of the selections contained in the present volume.The hackneyed dictum that there are no satisfactory translations must inevitably come to the mind of anyone attempting lorender Tarde's work in English, for he was a a stylist who enjoyed manipulating language as much as he did ideas. One is tempted to simplify his complex verbal constructions by rewording them in more contemporary English prose, especially when he deals with technical questions. But this would be to destroy the poetic elements of his work. While this is by no means a poetic translation—for we are not poets--we have retained some of Tarde's stylistic gymnastics rather than force him into the idiom of contemporary social science. For his own set of technical concepts, which are only partially translatable into those currently in use, we have sought the closest English equivalents.The translation was accomplished in three stages. N. ClaireEllis, a graduate student at the Universily of Chicago, prepared afirst draft, which was then checked and edited line by line by Priscilla P. Clark, assistant professor of French at the University ofIllinois at Chicago Circle, Finally, Terry N. Clark reviewed the translation once again, revising it and adding editorial comments in conjunction with Priscilla P. Clark.
