This book investigates Australia's relationship with the Eurovision
Song Contest over time and place, from its first screening on SBS
in 1983 to Australia's inaugural national selection in 2019.
Beginning with an overview of Australia's Eurovision history, the
contributions explore the contest's role in Australian political
participation and international relations; its significance for
Australia's diverse communities, including migrants and the
LGBTQIA+ community; racialised and gendered representations of
Australianness; changing ideas of liveness in watching the event;
and a reflection on teaching Australia's first undergraduate course
dedicated to the Eurovision Song Contest. The collection brings
together a group of scholar-fans from a variety of
interdisciplinary perspectives - including history, politics,
cultural studies, performance studies, and musicology - to explore
Australia's transition from observer to participant in the first
thirty-six years of its love affair with the Eurovision Song
Contest.
