Signature: Name: Paul Thomas Jordan Abstract Studies focussing on Europeanisation and in particular on the return to Europe of post- communist states have come to the fore in political science research since the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe. The way in which many states of the former Eastern Bloc have engaged with European geopolitical power structures such as the European Union and Council of Europe has been well-documented. Europe is a contested construct and its boundaries are still subject to redefinition. This study examines issues of Europeanisation, national identity and nation branding through the lens of popular culture. In particular the role that events such as the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) play in illuminating the more salient issues of European identity politics has until recently been an area which has lacked scholarly attention. Although the volume of literature on the event is steadily increasing, there has to date, been no in-depth study conducted on a Former Soviet Republic. This study aims to fill this gap. This thesis comprises a case study of the role of the Eurovision Song Contest in Estonia and Ukraine. The empirical findings highlight the contested nature of the construction of national identities in the post-Soviet region and in particular, this study has drawn out some of the more salient aspects of identity politics. By exploring these issues through the prism of the Eurovision Song Contest, I argue that the event is significant in terms of nation branding and image building, particularly in the context of the return to Europe of post-communist countries. The Eurovision Song Contest is often an event which is dismissed as musically and culturally inferior. However, this study shows that different nation states attribute different meanings to the ESC and as such there is a need to go beyond the dominant (western) view of the contest in order to explore the diversity of issues that this event illuminates in wider socio-political debates in Europe today.

    Author's personal copy Available online at www.sciencedirect.com European Journal of Political Economy 24 (2008) 41–52 www.elsevier.com/locate/ejpe The Eurovision Song Contest. Is voting political or cultural? ☆ ⁎ Victor Ginsburgh a, Abdul G. Noury b, a ECARES, Université Libre de Bruxelles and Center for Operations Research and Econometrics, Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium b ECARES, Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium Received 19 December 2005; received in revised form 18 May 2007; accepted 21 May 2007 Available online 2 June 2007 Abstract We analyze the voting behavior and ratings of judges in a popular song contest held every year in Europe since 1956. The dataset makes it possible to analyze the determinants of success, and gives a rare opportunity to run a direct test of vote trading. Though the votes cast may appear as resulting from such trading, we show that they are rather driven by quality of the participants as well as by linguistic and cultural proximities between singers and voting countries. Therefore, and contrary to what was recently suggested, there seems to be no reason to take the result of the Contest as mimicking the political conflicts (and friendships). © 2007 Elsevier B.V.

Introduction The purpose of this paper is to analyze the determinants of success and voting behavior of judges in one of the most popular singing contest held since 1956 in Europe, the Eurovision Song Contest. The competition is interesting since each country (player) votes for singers (or groups of singers) of all other participating countries.

    West End Eurovision 2019: A Reminder of the Talent and Supportive Community in the Theatre Industry ARTS, THEATRE Who doesn’t love Eurovision? The complete lack of expectation for any UK contestant adds a laissez faire tone to the event that works indescribably well with the zaniness of individual performances. Want dancing old ladies? Look up Russia’s 2012 entrance. Has the chicken dance from primary school never quite left your consciousness? Israel in 2018 had you covered. Eurovision is camp and fun, and we need more of that these days… cue West End Eurovision, a charity event where the casts from different shows compete with previous Eurovision songs to win the approval of a group of judges and the audience. The seven shows competing were: Only Fools and Horses, Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, Aladdin, Mamma Mia!, Follies, The Phantom of the Opera, and Wicked. Each cast performed for four judges – Amber Davies, Bonnie Langford, Wayne Sleep, and Tim Vincent – following a short ident. Quite what these were for I’m not sure was explained properly to the cast: are they adverts for their shows (Everybody’s Talking About Jamie), adverts for the song they’re to perform (Phantom) or adverts for Eurovision generally (Mamma Mia!)? I don’t know, but they were all amusing and a good way to introduce each act. The cast of Only Fools and Horses opened the show, though they unfortunately came last in the competition, a less-than jubly result. That said, with sparkling costumes designed by Lisa Bridge, the performance of ‘Dancing Lasha Tumbai’, first performed by Ukraine in 2007, was certainly in the spirit of Eurovision and made for a sound opening number.

  • 5. Édith Piaf – Une Artiste Unique En Son Genre
    DIPLOMARBEIT Titel der Diplomarbeit La chanson française – La présentation des textes chez Édith Piaf Verfasserin Patrizia Kaufmann angestrebter akademischer Titel Magistra der Philosophie (Mag.phil.) Wien, im Januar 2013 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 236 346 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Romanistik Französisch Diplom Betreuer: o. Univ. Prof. Dr. Georg Kremnitz Regardez cette petite personne dont les mains sont celles du lézard des ruines. Regardez son front de Bonaparte, ses yeux d'aveugle qui vient de retrouver la vue. Comment chantera-t- elle ? Comment s'exprimera-t-elle ? Comment sortira-t-elle de sa poitrine étroite les grandes plaintes de la nuit ? Et voici qu'elle chante, ou plutôt qu'à la mode du rossignol d'avril elle essaye son chant d'amour. Jean Cocteau Remerciements Un merci géant à mon père et à sa belle femme qui sont ma seule famille et qui m’ont aidée pendant la période où j’étais au chômage et où j’avais des soucis d’argent ou quand j’étais malade et j’avais la migraine et où j’avais besoin de quelque chose. Avec eux je pouvais faire des excursions sur les montagnes, me distraire et pouvais reprendre de nouvelles forces. Tous les deux ont vu le progrès que j’ai fait pendant mes études et ont partagé les échecs et heureusement aussi les succès avec moi. Ils me connaissent et m’aiment en tant que personne et m’ont accompagnée pendant mon chemin. En même temps un merci à mes deux chattes qui ont ressenti comme des amies le stress avant les examens. C’était drôle d’avoir une chatte assise sur mes genoux et un livre dans la main.
