The study critically examines contemporary academic engagement with Stanley Milgram's classic ‘obedience to authority’ experiments. It argues that, following what will be termed the ‘first wave of criticism’ (1964 to mid-1980s) and ‘consensus and canonization’ (mid-1980s to mid-2000s), this present-day phase has constituted a veritable ‘second wave of criticism’. The ‘second wave’ is reviewed in terms of, first, a return to fundamental dilemmas around the experiments (i.e., replication, ethics, methodology, and theory); and second, a recourse to novel data sources as well as theoretical and epistemological-methodological developments. Such integration of traditional concerns and new perspectives has resulted in focus being redirected to a forgotten aspect of the experiments: the interactional production of affective dynamics in the lab. Although the ‘second wave’ will be critiqued for selectively focusing on either affective atmosphere or interactional process, the paper will conclude with the suggestion that bringing these two aspects together continues to promise a theoretical contribution to the understanding of the experiments not seen before.

斯坦利·米尔格拉姆“服从权威”实验的第二波批判性参与：我们学到了什么？

该研究批判性地考察了当代学术参与斯坦利米尔格拉姆的经典“服从权威”实验。它认为，继所谓的“第一波批评”（1964 年至 1980 年代中期）和“共识和规范化”（1980 年代中期至 2000 年代中期）之后，今天的这个阶段已经构成了名副其实的“第二波”。批评浪潮”。“第二波”的回顾首先是回到围绕实验的基本困境（即复制、伦理、方法论和理论）；其次，求助于新的数据源以及理论和认识论方法的发展。传统关注点和新观点的这种整合导致焦点被重定向到实验中一个被遗忘的方面：实验室中情感动态的互动产生。尽管“第二波”将因选择性地关注情感氛围或互动过程而受到批评，但本文将提出将这两个方面结合在一起继续承诺对理解以前从未见过的实验做出理论贡献的建议。
