Kurt Lewin as filmmaker and methodologist.

Abstract: Lewin made films for three often interchangeable purposes: as a methodological tool for analyzing human (social) behaviour; as a rhetorical device for illusl.ral.iiig his presentations and aiding the dissemination of his theoretical concepts; and, as personal records of family and friends. Only a few of these films have survived, and their linkage to key concepts such as life-space arc described. A recently re-discovered feature-length dotumenlary/'Das Kind und die Welt" (1931), whose production Lewin supervis… Show more

“…Interestingly Zimbardo himself has claimed that Alan Funt, creator of the first reality-TV show, Candid Camera, was "one of the most creative, intuitive social psychologists on the planet" (Zimbardo et al, 2000, p. 197). Kurt Lewin also used hidden camera techniques to make a series of films that focused on the spaces of child development, the best known being the 1935 film The Child and the World, which he discussed with the great Soviet filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein (Van Elteren, 1992;Van Elteren & Luck, 1990).…”

“…Educational psychologists, on the other hand, would cite his contribution as an innovative researcher who was among the first to use film material to showcase the concepts he was studying (van Elteren, 1992). They might also refer to Lewin's first Cornell study that described how mothers fed their children and how nurses fed orphans (Zimbardo, 2016).…”

“…Es sociológica y psicológica, pero ante todo es psicosocial. Y por eso y otras muchas cosas más, la Psicología Social llega a ser divertida, porque es un intento, una pretensión y una reflexión, podría señalar, y ya para terminar esto, que cuando eso deja de suceder, cuando los intentos han sido en vano, y las reflexiones puras divagaciones, la decepción es evidente y justificada, por eso Leon Festinger se retiro dignamente de la Psicología Social, simplemente se aburrió (Collier, Minton y Reynolds, 1992, p. 391); y más vale entonces dedicarse a otra cosa, o hacer algo más mientras se hace Psicología Social, y que esto no se entienda como un arrojar la toalla sobre el ring del compromiso intelectual, al contrario, es congruencia total, y sin sorpresas, eso ya ha pasado, Kenneth Gergen por ejemplo de ser radical se volvió terapeuta familiar, Tomás Ibáñez se jubiló y se dedicó al activismo de toda su vida (2009), Pablo Fernández Christlieb dice que quiere escribir literatura ( 2006), pero los ejemplos más bonitos son los de, por un lado Wolfang Köhler quien decía que sus reflexiones tenían sentido cuando se bañaba o rasuraba (1972); y por el otro lado se encuentra Kurt Lewin para quien su "teoría del campo" nunca fue suficiente y para hacer evidentes sus experimentos le dio por hacerle al cineasta y filmar (Van Elteren, 1992); por eso insisto, en el momento en que esto deje de ser divertido o interesante más vale hacer maletas -o viajar ligerito-o poner un negocito, y una tienda de discos viejos no suena nada mal.…”
