This article explores the characterological metadiscourses through which characters, or figures of personhood, become modeled, evaluated, and enacted during a multi-ethnic, community-inclusive theater project that aims to make the group's ‘joint voice’ heard on stage and in society. Based on ethnographic data and discourse-analytical methods, the article examines two modes of characterological metadiscourse that contribute to the construction of an ‘alternative’ discursive space that allows the group to reflect on and to experiment with everyday social interactions. First, the article analyzes writing and conversation tasks that deal with experiences of ethnicization and inequality. Second, the article analyzes exercises in acting techniques, in which the focus turns to universal characterological dimensions, enabling each participant to participate in the joint voice as an equal performer. The analyses illuminate a local strategy of managing multi-ethnic relations and committing to ideals of solidarity and egalitarianism with the purpose of collective social action. (Voice, entextualization, interdiscursivity, ethnicity, raciolinguistics, theater)*

另类的相遇空间：芬兰多民族包容性戏剧中的性格元话语和“联合声音”

本文探讨了人物元话语，在一个多民族、社区包容的戏剧项目中，人物或人物形象通过这些元话语被建模、评估和表演，该项目旨在让舞台和社会听到该群体的“共同声音”。基于民族志数据和话语分析方法，本文研究了两种性格元话语模式，它们有助于构建“另类”话语空间，使群体能够反思和实验日常社会互动。首先，本文分析了涉及种族化和不平等经历的写作和对话任务。其次，文章分析了表演技巧的练习，其中重点转向普遍的性格维度，使每个参与者能够作为平等的表演者参与共同的声音。这些分析阐明了管理多民族关系并致力于以集体社会行动为目的的团结和平等主义理想的当地战略。（声音、语境化、相互话语性、种族、种族语言学、戏剧）*
