Fifty-four years after Germany played host to the second ever Eurovision Song Contest, the musical jamboree comes to Düsseldorf this May. It’s a very different world since ARD staged the show in 1957 with just 10 nations in a small TV studio in Frankfurt. This year, a record 43 countries will take part in the three shows, with a potential audience of 35,000 live in the Esprit Arena. All 10 nations from 1957 will be on show in Germany, but only two of their languages survive. The creaky phone lines that provided the results from the 100 judges have been superseded by state of the art, pan-continental technology that involves all the 125 million viewers watching at home. It’s a very different show indeed. Back in 1957, Lys Assia attempted to defend her Eurovision crown and this year Germany’s Lena will become the third artist taking a crack at the same challenge.

  • La Grande Festa Europea Della Musica
    Guida all'EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2012 a cura di Emanuele Lombardini e Alessandro Pigliavento LA GRANDE FESTA EUROPEA DELLA MUSICA Immaginatevi una grande festa, dove ognuno porta la propria musica per condividerla con gli altri. Oppure, per fare un paragone calcistico, immaginatevi la squadra campione nazionale (in questo caso l’artista) che viene invitata a prendere parte alla Champions League. L’Eurovision Song Contest (questa la sua denominazione ufficiale: noi italiani l’abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson) in fondo è un po’ questo: il campionato d’Europa della musica. Oggi più che mai una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti 42 paesi aderenti all’ente organizzatore, la Ebu (European Broadcasting Union), cioè il consorzio che riunisce le televisioni pubbliche d’Europa, ma anche alcune del bacino del Mediterraneo fuori dal nostro Continente. L’idea venne nel 1956 a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio: un concorso di musica con lo scopo nobile di promuovere la collaborazione e l'amicizia tra i popoli europei, la ricostituzione di un continente dilaniato dalla guerra attraverso lo spettacolo e la tv. E oltre a questo, molto più prosaicamente, anche sperimentare una diretta in simultanea in più paesi e promuovere il mezzo televisivo nel vecchio continente. Da allora, nel corso degli anni, la manifestazione è cresciuta in maniera costante, passando da evento da teatri e auditorium per un ristretto numero di spettatori a festa popolare. Dalla metà degli anni 90, quando la manifestazione comincia ad approdare nei palasport, negli stadi e nelle arene, l’Eurovision Song Contest è diventato un vero e proprio kolossal paneuropeo.

  • Predictably Irrational
    USA $25.95 CANADA $27.95 • Why do our headaches persist after taking a one-cent aspirin but disappear when we take a 50-cent aspirin? • Why does recalling the Ten Commandments reduce our tendency to lie, even when we couldn't possibly be caught? • Why do we splurge on a lavish meal but cut coupons to save 25 cents on a can of soup? • Why do we go back for second helpings at the unlimited buffet, even when our stomachs are already full? • And how did we ever start spending $4.15 on a cup of coffee when, just a few years ago, we used to pay less than a dollar? hen it comes to making decisions in our lives, we think we're in control. We think we're making smart, rational choices. But are we? In a series of illuminating, often surprising experi­ ments, MIT behavioral economist Dan Ariely refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways. Blending everyday experience with ground­ breaking research, Ariely explains how expectations, emotions, social norms, and other invisible, seemingly illogical forces skew our reasoning abilities. Not only do we make astonishingly simple mistakes every day, but we make the same types of mistakes, Ariely discovers. We consistently overpay, underestimate, and procrastinate. We fail to understand the profound effects of our emotions on what we want, and we overvalue what we already own. Yet these misguided behaviors are neither random nor senseless. They're systematic and predict­ able—making us predictably irrational. From drinking coffee to losing weight, from buying a car to choosing a romantic partner, Ariely explains how to break through these systematic patterns of thought to make better decisions.
