This book uses the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC), as an analytical
entry point to understand and illuminate post-War Europe and the
drive to create an identity that can legitimise the European
project in its broadest sense. The ESC presents an idealised vision
of Europe, and this has long existed in a strained relationship
with reality. While the trajectory of post-war European integration
is a high-profile topic, we believe that the ESC offers a unique
and innovative way to think about the role of culture in the
history of post-War European integration and tensions between the
ideal and reality of European unity. Through the series of case
studies that make up the chapters in this book, analysis brings
these interlinked tensions to light, exploring the roles of culture
and identity, alongside and a productive conversation with the
political and economic projects of post-war European integration.
