PurposeThis article examines personal performances of vicarious trauma (VT) related to the Ocean Ranger Disaster. It investigates the extent to which the self is at stake in passionate storytelling about tragic consequences of extreme work.Design/methodology/approachDramaturgical concepts of self-presentation and impression management are used as a qualitative lens to provide an alternative view of published trauma stories arising from emotional research interviews.FindingsThe catastrophic disaster created secondary traumatization for families and friends of extreme workers lost at sea. This article shows that research interviews of these disaster survivors are opportunities for participants to engage in dramatic storytelling. The paper also reflects on related (problematic) storytelling by the trauma researcher.Research limitations/implicationsThe article provides a theory illustration using dramaturgy as an alternative theoretical perspective to document previously under-appreciated aspects of the Ocean Ranger case. The discussion causes us to think about research interviews in a way that past research would not normally suggest.Social implicationsThe Ocean Ranger Disaster continues to be a remarkable source of sorrow for the people of Newfoundland. This research provides a needed contrast to the numerous positivist, and overwhelmingly technological, studies of the disaster.Originality/valueThe research tradition of dramaturgy is a useful lens to apply to the expanding field of trauma studies. VT is rarely a subject of direct discussion in the management and organization studies (MOS) literature. This paper is among the first to consider storytelling interviews from a VT perspective.

“…The means and manner of crafting such speculative moves (e.g., Augur 2013) within an earlier materiality of the physical artifact, or commercial product, have led to a series of publications that have addressed matters of relations and associations in the role of pastiche, wit, and sensibility in speculative design (e.g., Malpass 2013). Thinking adversarially yet anticipatively has been part of design and speculative work in a different take by Lorraine Gamman et al (2012) in developing scenarios for "thinking like a thief," pointing to the ways in which Design conjoins scenarios, personas, and strategies narratively and culturally in contexts of motivated anticipation and enactment.…”

Inquiry into anticipation is framed within this chapter in a view from Anticipation Studies not only Science, accentuating cultural, constructionist and critical interpretative aspects. In this theoretical excursus, authors argue that Futures Studies needs to more fully take up a body of work from Design Studies. Drawing on various aspects of Design inquiry, the chapter provides an overview of some of the approaches that have been advanced and ways they might offer Anticipation Studies routes and means to more fully framing approaches to the making and analysis of anticipatory systems, engagements, and reflections. As designerresearchers with academic transdisciplinary backgrounds, our views are positioned from the work of others as well as via practice based research through design epistemological investigations. Design Futures remains a fruitful space for further design inflected inquiry.

“…Interior design is invariably a visual practice (Gamman et al, ) and designers are immersed in visual communication. The “interior design body of knowledge” (Guerin & Martin, , p. 11) mandates specialized design skills in visualizing the needs of clients.…”

To think thief, designers enact criminal drama as they (as thieves) explore creative ways to commit crime.…”

This paper engages with the idea that interior design is a performative practice. The central question of interest is dramaturgical rather than instrumental: How do building interiors “act” and how do these performances construct a particular definition of the situation? We critically bring into play related academic discussions of “political interiors” and “the good organization” by exploring the built environment of the court of law. The good organization is an ideal‐type used to help identify and understand the deficiencies of actual organizations. We show that ontological politics is at work when performative design enables problematic realities. This study relied on a microethnographic research method using participant observation as the data collection strategy. It focused on a Canadian interior design project that implemented a workplace violence assessment in the criminal courtrooms of the Nova Scotia justice system. We use theatrical performance as a research lens, drawing on dramaturgy, as a fruitful way to engage with the concept of political interiors. This expands beyond mainstream epistemological assumptions about the grounds for knowing. We find that criminal courtrooms, as the physical expression of the good organization, are rooted in questionable design assumptions that are seldom examined. The nominalist stance in this paper promotes a more complete understanding of the realities of interior space that are socially constructed through physical settings that create, preserve, and promote hierarchy, personal stigma, and theatricality.
