Chapter 2 considers recent work on obedience. Alongside attempts at partial replication, there have been a number of novel experimental paradigms and conceptual replications, and renewed attempts at theorising the phenomena captured in Milgram’s lab. A novel strand to this ‘new wave’ of critical engagement with the obedience experiments has come from researchers drawing on the materials available in Milgram’s archive held at Yale University. This has led to new insights regarding the ethical, methodological and theoretical issues raised by the experiments, and has generated new lines of enquiry and debate. In particular, I will highlight the fascinating insights into the experiments that can be gleaned from paying attention to the audio recordings of the experiments. With considerable foresight, Milgram recorded his experimental sessions, the majority of which survive in the archives. These provide a rich resource for researchers, and it is these recordings that form the data for the analyses outlined in Chapters 4–7.
