I:
yeah
R:
when people look at me as if I’m an alien,
it sometimes . . . it gets me really annoyed because . . .
you know, I’m just the same as everybody else
It is clear that, whatever their opinions, fashions or lifestyles, people wish
to be considered ‘ordinary’. The interesting thing to note in the ‘art gallery’
interviews is how ‘ordinary people’ are assumed to behave, and what
values they are supposed to have. In the first of the interviews, the ordinary
person is presupposed to have limited access to city centre venues, limited
funds, and a common-sense understanding of art objects. The woman’s
criticism of the gallery is based on the argument that the city council is not
making art accessible – economically or intellectually – to the ordinary
person thus conceived. The young couple constructs the ‘ordinary’ person
as interested in culture, as taking a pride in the city and as being without
pretension. Their ‘ordinary person’ is an active participant in cultural
events, who has even hi-jacked the city council’s agenda, which is seen as
based on expanding tourism, by encouraging a more democratic participa-
tion in cultural events. Not unnaturally, their ‘ordinary person’ is much
more positive about the new art gallery. The responses of C, D and E in
these interviews can be seen as telling us much more about their cultural
values than about their opinion of the art gallery itself – the responses can
be seen as part of an ongoing cultural negotiation about what it is to be ‘or-
dinary’ and what values and behaviour represent ordinary people.
The interviews discussed so far have ranged from examples from
sociolinguistic and ethnographic textbooks, to informal interviews eliciting
personal opinions. In each case cultural content can be interpreted by (1)
paying attention to the content of the interview, (2) observing to the way
