  • A Case Study of Russia and Ukraine's Use of the Eurovision Song
    Lund University FKVK02 Department of Political Science Spring 2020 Peace and Conflict Studies Supervisor: Fredrika Larsson The Battle of Eurovision A case study of Russia and Ukraine’s use of the Eurovision Song Contest as a cultural battlefield Character count: 59 832 Julia Orinius Welander Abstract This study aims to explore and analyze how Eurovision Song Contest functioned as an alternative – cultural – battlefield in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict over Crimea. With the use of soft power politics in warfare as the root of interest, this study uses the theories of cultural diplomacy and visual international relations to explore how images may be central to modern-day warfare and conflicts as the perception of. The study has a theory-building approach and aims to build on the concept of cultural diplomacy in order to explain how the images sent out by states can be politized and used to conduct cultural warfare. To explore how Russia and Ukraine used Eurovision Song Contest as a cultural battlefield this study uses the methodological framework of a qualitative case study with the empirical data being Ukraine’s and Russia’s Eurovision Song Contest performances in 2016 and 2017, respectively, which was analyzed using Roland Barthes’ method of image analysis. The main finding of the study was that both Russia and Ukraine used ESC as a cultural battlefield on which they used their performances to alter the perception of themselves and the other by instrumentalizing culture for political gain.

  • Anika Gauja – the Politics of Eurovision
    >> Welcome to the podcast series of Raising the Bar Sydney. Raising the Bar in 2019 saw 21 University of Sydney academics take their research out of the lecture theatre and into bars across Sydney all on one night. In this podcast, you hear Anika Gouja’s talk The Politics of Eurovision. Enjoy the talk. [ Applause ] >> Good evening, Sorry Hill’s. [ Applause ] I’m just taking a very quick look at who’s in the audience so I can work out what I can and can’t say tonight. The results of the latest Eurovision fan survey were released today. Did anyone see those on social media? Okay. It’s a survey of Eurovision fans in Australia and overseas. And the Australian results showed that the typical Eurovision fan is aged 18-24, male. [ Laughter ] Part of the LGTBQI community, and is single. So if you’re not interested in politics, I don’t know why you’re here. [ Laughter ] I’ll wait for it. So I’m going to take you back to May 13, 2018. It’s 8:30 AM and I’ve been awake for more than 24 hours. I watched the delayed broadcast of the Eurovision first semifinal, the delayed broadcast of the Eurovision second semifinal. I watched the, you know, 50 Years of Eurovision documentary special. And I watched whatever ABBA retrospective was available. And that took me up to the grand final, 5:00 AM. I was at a Eurovision party with a group of friends like I am every single year. And the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest, Netta Barzilai with her song Toy was announced.

The question, however, remains as to what extent this report- ed scepticism truly reflects people’s opinions and feelings about Europe. We all consider it normal to cross borders within Europe, often while using the same money, as well as to take part in exchange programmes, invest in enterprises across Europe and appeal to European institutions if national regulations, for example, do not meet our expectations.

This includes whether claims are likely to justify the granting of asylum, humanitarian protection or discretionary leave and whether – in the event of a claim being refused – it is likely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under s94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. Decision makers must consider claims on an individual basis, taking into account the case specific facts and all relevant evidence, including: the policy guidance contained with this note; the available COI; any applicable caselaw; and the Home Office casework guidance in relation to relevant policies. Country information COI in this note has been researched in accordance with principles set out in the Common EU [European Union] Guidelines for Processing Country of Origin Information (COI) and the European Asylum Support Office’s research guidelines, Country of Origin Information report methodology, namely taking into account its relevance, reliability, accuracy, objectivity, currency, transparency and traceability.

  • Deploying Musical Narratives of Internal Others in Soviet and Post-Soviet Ukraine
    “THEY BELIEVE THE DAWN WILL COME”: DEPLOYING MUSICAL NARRATIVES OF INTERNAL OTHERS IN SOVIET AND POST-SOVIET UKRAINE Melissa Bialecki A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF MUSIC August 2017 Committee: Katherine Meizel, Advisor Sidra Lawrence © 2017 Melissa Bialecki All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Katherine Meizel, Advisor This thesis explores the roles of internal others in constructing a Soviet and post-Soviet Ukrainian national identity. I begin with an analysis of the kobzars—a group of blind, itinerant minstrels who performed across Ukraine in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, before they disappeared entirely during Stalin’s Great Terror in the 1930s. First, I explore the ways in which the Ukrainian bandura, an asymmetrical lute instrument, has become a site for documenting epistemologies of blind musicians in Ukraine. I then examine how these ways of knowing blindness have been influenced by myths of blind musicians in Ukraine that seek to demystify these internal “others.” Furthermore, I discuss how these myths continue to influence 21st century depictions of blind minstrels through an analysis of the 2014 Ukrainian film, The Guide. Finally, I turn my focus to the Eurovision Song Contest in order to examine how narratives of internal others are deployed in order to negotiate Ukraine’s position in 21st century Europe and in the context of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. I then reflect on the ways in which deploying these narratives of internal others does not draw these groups into the mainstream, but instead emphasizes and exploits their difference for the purpose of rejecting external hegemony in Ukraine.

    PRODUCTION PROFILE Opposite: Technical Director of the Eurovision Song Contest 2016, Ola Melzig (pictured with the faithful Eurovision cow); Head of Audio, Oskar Johanssen. EUROVISION SONG CONTEST 2016 The standard-setting, boundary-pushing entertainment behemoth that is the Eurovision Song Contest returned once again to its spiritual home in Sweden. TPi’s Ste Durham was in the eye of the storm for what was possibly the biggest production of the year so far. Whether you are talking about viewing figures, the number of performers another who worships at the altar of rock, Melzig is clearly honoured to put or the staggering amount of pre-production, it really is hard to put into his talents to use on this gargantuan production. He said: “I love that it is words the scale of the Eurovision Song Contest… but I’ll try. The entire one of the few shows that give you so much time – we’ve been in rehearsals time I was in Stockholm, travelling to and from the imposing Ericsson for almost three weeks. Everything is scripted from camera shots to pyro Globe arena, I couldn’t escape the Eurovision juggernaut. I was lucky cues. There are 22 cameras in the room averaging 70 shots per song and enough to be in town for one of the semi-finals, a number of rehearsals you will never see one camera filming another. It’s like an intricate ballet, and the grand final itself. In the majority of conversations with crew and the production is truly world class.” and creatives, I couldn’t shake the thought of that famous quote from As well as being something of a high-pressure assignment, in Muhammad Ali: “The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses - behind collaboration with host broadcaster SVT, Eurovision is the ideal platform for the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance trying new techniques.
