Bringing together the voices of scholars from Europe and North
America with those of key contest stakeholders, Performing the
'New' Europe: Identities, Feelings, and Politics in the Eurovision
Song Contest argues that this popular music competition is a
symbolic contact zone between European cultures: an arena for
European identification in which both national solidarity and
participation in a European identity are confirmed, and a site
where cultural struggles over the meanings, frontiers and limits of
Europe are enacted. This exciting collection explores the ways in
which European artists perform, disavow, and contest their racial,
national, and sexual identities in the Eurovision Song Contest
(ESC), and asks difficult questions about European inclusions and
exclusions the contest reflects. It suggests the ESC as an
ever-evolving network of peoples and places transcending both
historical and geographical boundaries of Europe that brings into
being new understandings of the relationship between culture,
space, and identities.
