”The potential of multilingualism in dramatic works” is an artistic research project that aims to investigate, develop and deepen the practice of writing multilingual drama for an audience in Sweden. Through placing significant focus on the playwright’s practice, the goal is to contribute to the artistic development of dramatic writing in Sweden and in other Swedish-speaking contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By using sociolinguistic theories and terms around multilingualism, both the artistic practice and the discourse surrounding it are developed and challenged. Through the application of an integrated ideology of multilingualism, language ideologies based on a monolingual norm are contradicted. In this way, the project makes room for silenced and marginalized voices and perspectives that rarely take or receive a place in Swedish performing arts contexts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Considering language, and thus multilingualism, as social practice and action is the starting point for the research. This post-structuralist approach is in line with the theories of sociologist Pierre Bourdieu and language theorist Michael Bakhtin. In this research drama is considered as both practice and as action. Central concepts are linguistic repertoires, translangualism and speech acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within the project, two dramatic works have been created, ASIA\/\u00c4RENDE and UniZona & PolyZona. These constitute the artistic result of the research and can both be described as dialogical polyvocal plays. Common and central to both works is that multilingualism permeates them and constitutes their formal core. The multilingualism has consequences that affect the dramaturgical and musical structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The creation of the works has taken place in dialogue and collaboration with multilingual actors, directors and translators in Sweden and Finland. The form of the artistic work has been conversations, workshops and periods of writing, and translation. Through these processes and works, the issues have been successively investigated. As tools for analysis, reflection and discussion, four categories have been created: dramaturgical, political, emotional and communicative potential. With the help of these, the concrete functions of multilingualism in both dramatic works are examined with the aim of making visible the potential of multilingualism in dramatic works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project demonstrates that multilingual dramatic writing requires different, less traditional approaches and in this way contributes to an expanded practice for the playwright. The methods used in the creation of the works have been collaborative, transcultural and dialogic, shifting between practices and acts of listening and composing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

”The potential of multilingualism in dramatic works” aims to show the enormous artistic, creative, political, emotional and communicative potential that multilingualism can bring to the dramatic work and, by extension, the performing arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract Svenska<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201dFlerspr\u00e5kighetens potential i dramatiska verk\u201d \u00e4r ett konstn\u00e4rligt forskningsprojekt som syftar till att unders\u00f6ka, utveckla och f\u00f6rdjupa skrivandet av flerspr\u00e5kig dramatik f\u00f6r en t\u00e4nkt publik i Sverige. Fokus ligger p\u00e5 dramatikerns praktik och d\u00e4rmed \u00e4r m\u00e5let att bidra till konstn\u00e4rlig utveckling av det dramatiska skrivandet i Sverige och i andra svenskspr\u00e5kiga kontexter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genom att anv\u00e4nda sociolingvistiska teorier och termer kring flerspr\u00e5kighet utvecklas och utmanas s\u00e5v\u00e4l den konstn\u00e4rliga praktiken som diskussionen om den. Med en integrerad flerspr\u00e5kighetsideologi mots\u00e4gs spr\u00e5kideologier som grundar sig i en enspr\u00e5kighetsnorm. Projektet g\u00f6r p\u00e5 s\u00e5 vis plats f\u00f6r tystade och marginaliserade r\u00f6ster och perspektiv som s\u00e4llan tar eller f\u00e5r plats inom svensk scenkonst. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Att betrakta spr\u00e5k, och d\u00e4rmed flerspr\u00e5kighet, som social praktik och handling \u00e4r utg\u00e5ngspunkten f\u00f6r forskningen. Detta poststrukturalistiska syns\u00e4tt ligger i linje med sociologen Pierre Bourdieus och spr\u00e5kteoretikern Michael Bakhtins teorier. \u00c4ven dramatik betraktas som praktik och handling. Centrala begrepp \u00e4r spr\u00e5kliga repertoarer, translingualism och talhandlingar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inom projektet har tv\u00e5 dramatiska verk skapats, ASIA\/\u00c4RENDE<\/em> och UniZona & PolyZona<\/em>. Dessa utg\u00f6r det konstn\u00e4rliga resultatet av forskningen och kan b\u00e5da beskrivas som dialogiska polyvokala pj\u00e4ser. Gemensamt och centralt f\u00f6r b\u00e5da verken \u00e4r att flerspr\u00e5kighet genomsyrar dem och utg\u00f6r dess formm\u00e4ssiga k\u00e4rna. Flerspr\u00e5kigheten f\u00e5r konsekvenser som p\u00e5verkar de dramaturgiska och musikaliska strukturerna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skapandet av verken har skett i dialog och samarbete med flerspr\u00e5kiga sk\u00e5despelare, regiss\u00f6rer och \u00f6vers\u00e4ttare i Sverige och Finland. Formen f\u00f6r det konstn\u00e4rliga arbetet har varit samtal, workshoppar samt perioder av skrivande, \u00f6vers\u00e4ttning och gestaltning. Genom dessa processer och verk har fr\u00e5gest\u00e4llningarna successivt unders\u00f6kts. Som verktyg f\u00f6r analys, reflektion och diskussion har fyra kategorier skapats: den dramaturgiska, politiska, emotionella och kommunikativa potentialen. Med hj\u00e4lp av dessa unders\u00f6ks de konkreta funktionerna flerspr\u00e5kigheten har i de b\u00e5da dramatiska verken med syftet att synligg\u00f6ra flerspr\u00e5kighetens potential i dramatiska verk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Projektet visar att flerspr\u00e5kigt dramatiskt skrivande kr\u00e4ver andra metoder \u00e4n de traditionella och f\u00f6r med sig en expanderad praktik f\u00f6r dramatikern. De tv\u00e5 huvudsakliga metoderna f\u00f6r skapandet av verken har varit lyssnande och komponerande. K\u00e4nnetecken f\u00f6r dessa metoder \u00e4r dialog, transkulturalism och expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201dFlerspr\u00e5kighetens potential i dramatiska verk\u201d vill visa p\u00e5 den stora konstn\u00e4rliga, kreativa, politiska, emotionella och kommunikativa potential som flerspr\u00e5kigheten kan tillf\u00f6ra det dramatiska verket och i f\u00f6rl\u00e4ngningen scenkonsten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
