"Forty years ago, in 1962, fieldwork began on the research project ‘Adjustment of Young Workers to Work Situations and Adult Roles’. Led by Norbert Elias, researchers at the University of Leicester carried out an interview based survey of the school to work transition experiences of nearly nine hundred young adults. The Department for Scientific and Industrial Research (D.S.I.R.) awarded the project £15,081 for three years beginning on the 1st April 1962. The research was based on Elias’s assertion that the transition from school to work constituted a ‘shock’ experience and that young people would experience real difficulties in adjusting to their new role as adults and workers. Suggesting that much of the early research on young people was essentially ‘adult centred’ and based on the experiences and perspectives of adults rather than the young people themselves, Elias argued that his approach would be radically different from other studies of the time." (Goodwin/O'Connor 2002, p. 3)

(probably erroneous characterization of Elias' letter !) see: Isaiah Berlin: What is History? An exchange of letters with E. H. Carr, Listener 65 (1961), 877, 1048–9 (an indeed famous debate about the role of individuals in history).

"Isaiah Berlin was one of the most remarkable men of his time, and one of the leading liberal thinkers of the century. Philosopher, political theorist, historian of ideas; Russian, Englishman, Jew; essayist, critic, teacher ..." (obituary text). He died in Oxford on 5 November 1997. He was Wolfson College’s  (Oxford/UK) First President.

Erläuterungen & Erklärungen/
Annotations & explanations:

"Elias also wrote a piece on the Eichmann trial in 1961-62, titled ‘The breakdown of civilization’, which explored the implications of National Socialism for our understanding of ‘civilization’. It was not published, however, until 1987 in German and 1996 in English, as part of The Germans, which was unfortunate given that many of his critics thought that a major weakness of his approach was the lack of attention paid to such recent examples of ‘civilized barbarism’." (van Krieken 1998); title also: "The darker side of man"
