Book Synopsis A Song for Europe by : Ivan Raykoff

Download or read book A Song for Europe written by Ivan Raykoff and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2007 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's largest and longest-running song competition, the Eurovision Song Contest is a significant and extremely popular media event throughout the continent and abroad. Here, an international group of scholars from a variety of disciplines, explore how the contest sheds light on issues of European politics, national and European identity, race, gender and sexuality, and the aesthetics of camp. Eurovision is sometimes regarded as a low-brow camp spectacle of little aesthetic or intellectual value. The essays in this collection often contradict this assumption, demonstrating that the contest has actually been a significant force and forecaster for social, cultural and political transformations in postwar Europe.
