Dear Martin,
You might also want to look at some of the work done on the concept of
emotional labor. Additionally here are some references I have on this topic:
Beatty A (2010) How did it feel for you? Emotion, narrative, and the limits
of ethnography. *American Anthropologist* 112(3): 430–443. (if you find it
useful check his other articles too)
Bourdieu P (2003) Participant objectivation. *Journal of the Royal
Anthropological Institute *9: 281-294
Cotterill P (1992) Interviewing women: issues of friendship, vulnerability,
and power. *Women’s Studies International Forum* 15(5/6): 593–606. (the
question of negotiating power differences might also be important to
consider more carefully)
Hochschild A (1983) *The managed heart: commercialization of human feeling.*
Berkeley: University of California Press (someone has already suggested
this)
McLean A and Leibing A (2007) *The shadow side of fieldwork: exploring the
blurred borders between ethnography and life*. Oxford: Blackwell
Publishing. (I strongly recommend this volume)
Together with a friend and colleague, I wrote a piece on this topic,
currently in revisions. I could send it to you as soon as it's published
(hopefully in the first part of the second year) if you remind me.
Good luck,
Lumi
