Statement of purpose
To explore what sociologists know about
an alternate theoretical paradigm that is also concerned with
society: anarchism. Sociologists have a very diverse familiarity with
anarchist ideas, with some who have had much experience with
anarchism, while others know very little beyond crude, popular
caricatures. This interview project will engage with sociologists who
have substantial familiarity about, knowledge of, or experience with
anarchism.
Topics of interest
Interviews will focus on a variety of
subjects, but will include theorists of particular note,
contributions, and potentialities of an anarchist-sociology, as well
as sociologist's knowledge, experiences, and opinions regarding
anarchism.
Ground rules
A few rounds of questions and answers
will be exchanged, at the pace established by the interviewee (read:
no pressure!), over email. Interviewees can provide as much of an
answer and as many details as they wish. The published interview
transcripts will retain the sociologists' names—i.e., identities
will not be confidential or anonymous. Thus, the final product will
resemble an “oral history” of sorts. Interviewees will be sent
the final interview transcript for their review, in order to correct
any mistakes or other things that the interviewee decides to not
ultimate include. Finally, the transcripts will be posted to the “anarchyandsociety” blog.
