Me resulta muy potente el que este artículo se plantee desde la pregunta de la responsabilidad de los investigadores sobre la experiencia de humanización. Lo anterior, porque toma siempre una posición ética en la que no se cosifica a quienes se estudia y, de hecho, se plantea más un estudiar "con", por lo que lo que proponen Ashford del sentido relacional es importante. Pues todo relación termina siendo performativa y este posicionamiento investigativo posibilita la performatividad, de allí también la importancia del énfasis de la autora sobre el moverse con en el que lo situado, la diferencia y la vulnerabilidad son aspectos de referencia para poder conmoverse y crear realmente redes de cuidado. Todo esto parece estar refiriendo la importancia de la corporalidad en el momento de acercarse a narrativas testimoniales, de superar lo puramente lingüístico para observar que hay un cuerpo que también es discursivo y que da una interconexión para la empatía y la comprensión de unos trayectos de vida, para humanizar a las personas y no verlos objetos de estudio.

Richards, Olly. Interview with Michel Thomas Publisher Sue Hart, 2017. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abjrsATBc5A.

Thomas had a secretive nature and did most communication either over phone or in person. He didn't write letters. Sue Hart felt that it was the result of his experience in World War II. (Potentially relationship with spycraft?)

He was a bit of a showman and enjoyed dropping names. He enjoyed his fame and status. Thomas seemed to enjoy people listening to him and didn't appreciate confrontation and dealt with it by shutting people off and walking away.

Nothing deep here about his method really. All just background.

Sue Hart at Hodder & Stoughton was able to persuade Michel Thomas to create a series of language courses on cassettes and CDs following his BBC2 broadcast of The Language Master.
