Emotion Work & Princess Performing: The Sociology of Making Magic

Groundwork: Princess performers “make magic” for children as they act, gesticulate, and portray characters. They necessarily give-up a part of themselves to become the character, suppressing their feelings and managing those of the children they perform for. This is “emotion work” to sociologists.

Objective: Explore how princess performers deploy “emotion work” to “make magic”.

Approach: Interview data is appropriate for this process-based objective; data includes 14 in-depth interviews collected in 2019.
