Importantly, recognition needs be given to the ethnographer’s obligation to protect the self from being ‘harmed’ as a result of fieldwork. CHAPTER 3 Scripts and staging the self S cripts are essentially a metaphor for conceptualizing the production of behaviour in most social life. Scripts reflect the intellectual traditions of symbolic interactionists associated with Mead (1934) and Blumer (1969) and later sociologists like Strauss, Denzin and Plummer, and the theatrical or dramaturgical approach spawned by symbolic interactionism and Kenneth Burke’s work (Simon and Gagnon, 1986).
The researcher’s codes, ‘recipes’ or scripts may be at variance with cultural and interpersonal scripts by which members abide that have evolved in a setting with the duration of time. It is necessary to try to understand how the other person/s experienced you – what they expected you to do (Okun, Fried and Okun, 1999: 146) in order to make adjustments to one’s behaviour. Those without a script, who throw themselves into a role, would not be expected to know the finer details of what is expected.
Staging the self as a ‘real’ researcher does not simply involve ‘real’ achievements, however, since projecting a definition of the situation demands appropriate emotional and motivational attitude for the group. Appropriate expressivity equates with a ‘belief in the part one is playing’. This creates confidence in others and contributes to building rapport with them in ongoing social interaction. Access to cultural and interpersonal scripts for performing the roles of observer and participant in a culture or subculture that is not one’s own is a necessary part of successful ‘impression management’ in the new fieldwork setting.
