    A Case Study of Russia and Ukraine's Use of the Eurovision Song

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.

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.

What many once knew as the Swan Street parking lot was a small triangular parcel of land—the last piece of real estate George needed to complete his school and theater, at least as he had originally imagined it back in 1922. But the price the owner demanded was in George’s mind too high, and so the theater project went ahead without that property. In the ensuing years, the University of Rochester purchased the lot, and we are now completing the second phase of our Eastman Theatre Renovation and Expansion Project.

  • The RTOS Story

    The RTOS Story

    The RTOS Story As told by the following brief history, the Rochester Theater Organ Society (RTOS) story is one of inspiration, luck, near failure, community involvement, perseverance and untold hours of dedication and hard work by an unstoppable band of enthusiasts and volunteers, all having the common goal of saving an important piece of Rochester's musical history through the preservation and presentation of a magnificent Wurlitzer theatre pipe organ. RTOS Story - In the Beginning In the beginning there was an organ, a theatre, and an organist. Wurlitzer Opus 1951 was built at the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company factory in North Tonawanda, NY in the summer of 1928. At that time the 2916-seat Keith-Albee Palace Theatre (later renamed RKO Palace) was well on its way to completion on Clinton Avenue North and Mortimer Street in Rochester, NY. A native of Great Britain, Tom Grierson had experience playing organs in St Louis, Brooklyn and Buffalo, and eventually settled in Rochester. Here he had held several church organist positions and played engagements at several local theatres before being retained to play at what would soon become Rochester's most beautiful movie palace. Tom custom designed the organ, a 4-manual, 21-rank, ‘special’ which was probably shipped by rail to Rochester on September 12, 1928. Installation took three months and local lore suggests that due to Tom’s close relationship with Wurlitzer (he recorded many organ player rolls for them) and since Rochester was only a short distance from the factory, that the organ was the recipient of voicing and regulating services not afforded most Wurlitzer installations.

    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.

    Eastman Notes July 2006

    WINTER 2011 FOR ALUMNI, PARENTS, AND FRIENDS OF THE EASTMAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC FROM THE DEAN New music, new styles, and a new era The new Eastman East Wing was completed in December of 2010, and dedicated in a six-day festival we called “The New Eastman Evolution.” This issue of Notes shares with you some of the highlights of this ground-breaking project, one of the many “signal” moments in the rich history of the Eastman School of Music. For members of the Eastman family who have yet to see it, suffice it to say, it is dramatic. Aesthetically and acoustically brilliant, the project’s completion nevertheless means more than us just meeting critical space needs. It is a sym- bol of a new era at Eastman as it leads the way into the music of the 21st century. In our art form, there is a temptation to echo a popular press that routinely NOTES decries the slippage of music in the eyes and ears of a Volume 29, Number 1 fickle public. I would argue quite the opposite: this may Winter 2011 be one of the most exciting moments in all of music his- tory. But it is only exciting if one accepts the notion that Editor every art form throughout recorded history evolves, and David Raymond evolves constantly. Music, and the context within which Contributing writers it is presented, adapts not just to popular cultural trends, Ruth Cahn Douglas Lowry but as a function of its own constant improvisation. So Ramon Ricker many of the positions that Eastman has staked over the Jamal Rossi years serve up remarkable examples of innovative think- Helene Snihur ing, feeling and music making—of not merely respond- Contributing photographers ing to trends, but establishing new trends altogether.
