The Kurt Lewin–Goodwin Watson FBI/CIA files
披露了FBI/CIA对库尔特·勒温(本刊创始人)及其同事古德温·沃森的监控档案,揭示了勒温死后仍被调查、沃森因推广T小组(团队建设前身)而受监视的情况,并指出T小组在当时冷战背景下是一种看似解放实则免疫的政治策略。
FBI files on Kurt Lewin, founder of this journal, and his close colleague Goodwin Watson, reveal inter alia the investigation of Lewin postmortem by the FBI/CIA, and FBI surveillance of Watson while he was a proponent of corporate T-groups, a precursor to present day team development. Sixty years on from Human Relations' launch, and Lewin's premature death, the files enrich understandings of Lewin's, and Watson's, lives and work. The socio-political structures-in-process they evidence also support the idea of the T-group as a knowing political tactic, apparently emancipatory, yet immunized from (proto-)Cold War inquisition by its very focus on the here-and-now.
