  • Lesbian Camp 02/07
    SQS Bespectacular and over the top. On the genealogy of lesbian camp 02/07 Annamari Vänskä 66 In May 2007, the foundations of the queer Eurovision world seemed to shake once again as Serbia’s representative, Queer Mirror: Perspectives Marija Šerifović inspired people all over Europe vote for her and her song “Molitva”, “Prayer”. The song was praised, the singer, daughter of a famous Serbian singer, was hailed, and the whole song contest was by many seen in a new light: removed from its flamboyantly campy gay aesthetics which seems to have become one of the main signifiers of the whole contest in recent decades. As the contest had al- ready lost the Danish drag performer DQ in the semi finals, the victory of Serbia’s subtle hymn-like invocation placed the whole contest in a much more serious ballpark. With “Molitva” the contest seemed to shrug off its prominent gay appeal restoring the contest to its roots, to the idea of a Grand Prix of European Song, where the aim has been Marija Šerifović’s performance was said to lack camp and restore the to find the best European pop song in a contest between contest to its roots, to the idea of a Grand Prix of European Song. different European nations. The serious singer posed in masculine attire: tuxedo, white riosity was appeased: not only was Šerifović identified as shirt, loosely hanging bow tie and white sneakers, and was a lesbian but also as a Romany person.1 Šerifović seemed surrounded by a chorus of five femininely coded women.

  • Gender and Geopolitics in the Eurovision Song Contest Introduction
    Gender and Geopolitics in the Eurovision Song Contest Introduction Catherine Baker Lecturer, University of Hull [email protected] http://www.suedosteuropa.uni-graz.at/cse/en/baker Contemporary Southeastern Europe, 2015, 2(1), 74-93 Contemporary Southeastern Europe is an online, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal that publishes original, scholarly, and policy-oriented research on issues relevant to societies in Southeastern Europe. For more information, please contact us at [email protected] or visit our website at www.contemporarysee.org Introduction: Gender and Geopolitics in the Eurovision Song Contest Catherine Baker* Introduction From the vantage point of the early 1990s, when the end of the Cold War not only inspired the discourses of many Eurovision performances but created opportunities for the map of Eurovision participation itself to significantly expand in a short space of time, neither the scale of the contemporary Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) nor the extent to which a field of “Eurovision research” has developed in cultural studies and its related disciplines would have been recognisable. In 1993, when former Warsaw Pact states began to participate in Eurovision for the first time and Yugoslav successor states started to compete in their own right, the contest remained a one-night-per- year theatrical presentation staged in venues that accommodated, at most, a couple of thousand spectators and with points awarded by expert juries from each participating country. Between 1998 and 2004, Eurovision’s organisers, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), and the national broadcasters responsible for hosting each edition of the contest expanded it into an ever grander spectacle: hosted in arenas before live audiences of 10,000 or more, with (from 2004) a semi-final system enabling every eligible country and broadcaster to participate each year, and with (between 1998 and 2008) points awarded almost entirely on the basis of telephone voting by audiences in each participating state.

  • A Croácia E Sua Participação No Eurovisão: Do Apelo Pacifista Ao Reconhecimento Cultural De Uma Tradição
    A Croácia e sua participação no Eurovisão: do apelo pacifista ao reconhecimento cultural de uma tradição Mauro Neves Resumo: A Croácia, juntamente com a Bósnia-Herzegovina e a Eslovênia, foi um dos primeiros países balcânicos a participar do Festival Eurovisão da Canção (Eurovisão) após a desintegração da Iugoslávia, país este que havia sido o único país do leste europeu a ter tomado parte no certame musical europeu até 1992. A entrada no Eurovisão em 1993 dessas três novas nações balcânicas, oriundas da desintegração iugoslava iniciada em 1991, deu-se em meio à Guerra da Bósnia (1992-1995), e por isso mesmo, representou a introdução de um novo imaginário dos Balcãs dentro desse programa musical de grande audiência e de longa história, de certa maneira procurando aproximar os países nascidos dessa desintegração à comunidade europeia. Após uma breve síntese histórica do Eurovisão como um todo e das participações da Iugoslávia, 27 participações entre 1961 e 1992, passaremos a analisar as 21 participações da Croácia entre 1993 e 2013, discutindo o que estas representaram não só como forma de procurar integrar o país na Europa, como também como forma de tentar criar um novo imaginário sobre o país para os próprios croatas. Palavras-chave: Eurovisão. Música popular. Imaginário nacional. Integração europeia. Abstract: Croatia in the eurovision song contest: from an antiwar message to the recognition of a cultural tradition. Croatia, together with Bosnia-Herzegovina and Slovenia, was one of the first Balkan countries to join the Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) after the Yugoslavian Wars that lead to the disintegration of Yugoslavia, the only country from East Europe to have taken part at the Festival up to 1992.

  • Introduction
    Introduction Every May, 200 million people turn on their TVs or log on to the internet, not just to watch but to be part of the Eurovision Song Contest, an extravaganza of song, dance, stagecraf and politics. Politics? Te European Broadcasting Union (EBU), who run the contest, insist it is non-political. Tey ban songs like Georgia’s 2009 ‘We Don’t Wanna Put In’ (‘put in’ was sung ‘poot-in’ to make sure everyone got the point) to enforce this. Tey are, I feel, right to do so: the pretence must be kept up. But the Eurovision Song Contest is political to its thigh-high, spangly boots. It is now and, as I plan to show in this book, it always has been. Tere’s politics in the songs. Not allowed through the front door, it sneaks in through the back. Te winner of the 2016 contest, ‘1944’, was a passionate denunciation of Stalin’s deportation of the Crimean Tatars – and by extension, an equally passionate denunciation of Russia’s annexation of the peninsula in 2014. In other years, we’ve had anti-colonialism, radical Socialism, Tatcherism, a marching song from Ukraine’s Euromaidan movement . In the 1970s, a Eurovision* song even started a revolution. Tere’s politics in the voting, with blocs of nations supporting each other’s songs. It drove Sir Terry Wogan to distraction, but most Eurovision fans love that moment when the Cypriot announcer says with a straight face, ‘And our twelve points go to . .’ It’s all part of the ritual. It also tells us something important about Europe.

  • 'Gay Olympics'?: the Eurovision Song Contest and the Politics of LGBT/European Belonging Catherine Baker
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Repository@Hull - CRIS The ‘Gay Olympics’?: The Eurovision Song Contest and the politics of LGBT/European belonging Catherine Baker (University of Hull) Accepted for publication in European Journal of International Relations Abstract The politics of gay and transgender visibility and representation at the Eurovision Song Contest, an annual televised popular music festival presented to viewers as a contest between European nations, show that processes of interest to Queer International Relations do not just involve states or even international institutions; national and transnational popular geopolitics over ‘LGBT rights’ and ‘Europeanness’ equally constitute the understandings of ‘the international’ with which Queer IR is concerned. Building on Cynthia Weber’s reading the persona of the 2014 Eurovision winner Conchita Wurst with ‘queer intellectual curiosity’, this paper demonstrates that Eurovision shifted from, in the late 1990s, an emerging site of gay and trans visibility to, by 2008–14, part of a larger discursive circuit taking in international mega-events like the Olympics, international human-rights advocacy, Europe/Russia relations, and the politics of state homophobia and transphobia. Contest organisers thus had to take positions – ranging from detachment to celebration – about ‘LGBT’ politics in host states and the Eurovision region. The construction of spatio-temporal hierarchies around attitudes to LGBT rights, however, revealed exclusions that corroborate other critical arguments on the reconfiguration of national and European identities around ‘LGBT equality’. Introduction The theoretical interventions of Queer International Relations, which recognise how sexualities and gender non-conformity are embedded in international politics, have ‘transformative’ potential for International Relations (Langlois, 2015: 1).

Since the beginning of the war in Croatia (1991-95) when the state media stimulated the production of popular music conveying appropriate narratives of national identity, Croatian popular music has been a site for the articulation of explicit national narratives of identity. The practice has continued into the present day, reflecting political and social change in Croatia (e.g. the growth of the war veterans lobby and protests against the Hague Tribunal).
