    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.

  • La Instrumentalización Política Del Festival De Eurovisión: El Caso Del Enfrentamiento Entre Rusia Y Ucrania (2010-2019)”
    FACULTAD DE COMUNICACIÓN GRADO EN PERIODISMO TRABAJO DE FIN DE GRADO “La instrumentalización política del Festival de Eurovisión: el caso del enfrentamiento entre Rusia y Ucrania (2010-2019)” JUNIO 2020. SEVILLA. AUTOR: DANIEL LINDO GARCÍA TUTOR: FERNANDO RAMÓN CONTRERAS MEDINA RESUMEN La cuestionada gestión de los servicios públicos de televisión, y la influencia de la Unión Europea de Radiodifusión y sus derivados en los cinco continentes, hacen del Festival de Eurovisión un escenario perfecto para la propagación de las consignas políticas que defienden los dispares gobiernos europeos que administran los primeros. La Revolución del Maidán y la anexión rusa de Crimea no solo provocaron una colisión entre Kiev y Moscú, también lograron acercar a una antigua república soviética como Ucrania a Bruselas. El longevo evento de música, reflejo del poder económico occidental, no ha sido sino la mayor plataforma mediática donde Rusia y su país vecino han librado una de sus muchas batallas.

  • 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.

For the first time, you can both feel the atmosphere and learn the nuances of a tradition that went brutally out of circulation.

  • Political Images Taking Stage
    Lund University FKVK02 Department of Political Science Spring 2021 Peace and Conflict Studies Supervisor: Elsa Hedling Political images taking stage A narrative analysis of Russia in the Eurovision Song Contest Word Count: 9340 Maria Post 2 Abstract Ever since it was created, the Eurovision Song Contest has functioned as an arena for nation branding and nation building. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to the field of cultural diplomacy and political storytelling through studying how participation in the Eurovision Song Contest can contribute to a country’s international image. This thesis has studied how the Russian entries between the years of 2013 and 2017 were perceived and how this could contribute to the general image of Russia. Cultural diplomacy formed the basis of the theoretical framework and the theory of fantasmatic logic was used in addition. To conduct the case study, the lyrics, performances and context surrounding the entries were studied through a multimodal narrative analysis. Three main narratives were identified when studying the Russian entries, those were of Russia as a peaceful, innocent and progressive country. The main conclusion drawn from the study was that Russia was perceived positively in the contest, which could contribute to their general international image.

    Eurovision Song Contest: la musica che unisce l'Europa... e non solo! C'è chi la definisce la "Champions League" della musica e in fondo non sbaglia. L'Eurovision è una grande festa, ma soprattutto è un concorso in cui i Paesi d'Europa si sfidano a colpi di note. Tecnicamente, è un concorso fra televisioni, visto che ad organizzarlo è l'EBU (European Broadcasting Union), l'ente che riunisce le tv pubbliche d'Europa e del bacino del Mediterraneo. Noi italiani l'abbiamo a lungo chiamato Eurofestival, i francesi sciovinisti lo chiamano Concours Eurovision de la Chanson, l'abbreviazione per tutti è Eurovision. Oggi più che mai una rassegna globale, che vede protagonisti nel 2017 42 paesi: 41 aderenti all'ente organizzatore più l'Australia, che dell'EBU è solo membro associato, essendo fuori dall'area, che nel 2015 fu invitata dall’EBU per festeggiare i 60 anni del concorso per via dei grandi ascolti che la rassegna fa in quel paese e che dallo scorso anno è stata ufficialmente invitata dall’organizzazione. L'ideatore della rassegna fu un italiano: Sergio Pugliese, nel 1956 direttore della RAI, che ispirandosi a Sanremo volle creare una rassegna musicale europea. La propose a Marcel Bezençon, il franco-svizzero allora direttore generale del neonato consorzio eurovisione, che mise il sigillo sull'idea: ecco così nascere 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.
