“…From its inception, gonzo journalism emphasized not simply being a passive observer, but instead a fully-immersed participant (Jirón-King 2008;Tamony 1983). In a similar vein, gonzo sociology seeks to rejuvenate the wild, immersive side of the discipline, in the tradition of Becker, Adler, Mills, Whyte, etc.…”

“…The exact origin of the term "gonzo" is unknown, and although there are a wide variety of claims to its creation, it has always stood to mean "brash, importunate, and flamboyant" (Tamony 1983). One biographer of Thompson claims it be a corruption of the word "gonzeaux," a French-Canadian term meaning "shining path," while another Thompson biographer claims it to be a expression South Boston Irish once used to describe the last person standing after a night of intense drinking (Mosser 2012).…”

This paper serves as a call to reinvigorate the practice of "gonzo sociology," an immersive, reflexive methodology which eschews rigidity and formulaic design in favor of innovative and imaginative research on places and peoples ignored by the academy. Employing an autoethnographic account of the author's experiences researching the reconstruction of the Iraqi police force, this paper serves as both an invitation and a rough how-to guide for gonzo research projects. While a variety of factors-ranging from funding sources to time constraints to anxiety to institutional review concerns-make this type of unorthodox research difficult, it is argued this is exactly what makes it both a necessary corrective to the staid formalism of the field as well as an avenue for incorporating the voices of those least represented in the academy.

“…Others argue that Gonzo is actually a branch of many other genres; such as narrative journalism or creative autobiography (Baumgartner, 2017;Hellman, 1979Hellman, , 1981Sinding, 2010;Stephenson, 2012). Finally, the majority of other interpretations conclude that Gonzo compositions stem from Hunter S. Thompson's life and that Gonzo is just the way in which Thompson wrote (Cowen, 2009;Jirón-King, 2008;Mosser, 2012;Reynolds, 2012;Tamony, 1983). However, Gonzo is not simply the composition style of a single author.…”

“…Some scholars have attempted to use the biography of Thompson to characterize the genre (Cowan, 2009;Jirón-King, 2008;Mosser, 2012;Reynolds, 2012;Tamony, 1983). Jay Cowan (2009) (McEneaney, 2016;Novae, 1979;Swingrover, 2004;Whitmer & Van Wyngarden, 1987).…”

I especially want to thank Pamela Yeager, Delinda Buie, Heather Fox, Tom Owen, and the rest of the archivists at the University of Louisville Archives and Special Collections department. Thank you for your friendship, guidance, and allowing me to contribute to the fantastic work you all do in celebrating the history of our great city. I sincerely thank my wife, Jennifer, for pushing me to follow my dreams and having the patience to allow me to pursue my goals. I could not have done this without your support. I love you. Our children have motivated me to be the best possible role model, prompting me to lead by example, exemplifying the value of education and the importance of striving for goals. Finally, I would like to thank my mother, Chrystal, for her hard work in raising me. I know I was a difficult child, but I hope my journey has made you proud.

This paper attempts to elucidate the coexistence of "the remaining Heimat for children" and "'Heimat' defined by their ancestors and others" in the field of dwelling education by focusing on ideas on the term in E.Spranger's works. Spranger says that 'Heimat is characterized and linked to the soil where people live and experience on a daily basis. In short, it became clear that through the teacher's advice "third-person-defined 'Heimat'" can exist next to the definition of 'Heimat' children themselves have in their minds.
