SUMMARY:Disputation | Jörgen Dahlqvist – In Dialogue with Society: Democ
 ratic Engagement through Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Contact: amanda.pettersson@thm.lu.se\n\nJörgen Dahlqvist’s d
 octoral project explores how theatre can contribute to democratic engageme
 nt. The starting point was artistic probes investigating aspects of democr
 acy: participation\, deliberation and inclusion. The probes resulted in th
 ree productions presented at theatre institutions in Sweden. In "Skapa Dem
 okrati" (Creating Democracy)\, participation was promoted by encouraging t
 he audience members to create a democracy together. In "Öva Demokrati" (P
 racticing Democracy)\, deliberation was in focus. The performance allowed 
 the audience to deliberate on suggestions for strengthening Swedish Democr
 acy. In "Monument"\, different strategies were used to promote inclusion i
 n society. The project started with the idea that monuments say something 
 about society.The research has resulted in strategies for inclusion and a 
 novel theatre format\, the conversational theatre\, which encourages parti
 cipation and deliberation. These outcomes could provide the theatre with m
 ethods to be in dialogue with society.In Dialogue with Society: Democratic
