Eurovision — and Eurovision research — in the news
Posted by Karen Fricker in Blog on May 3, 2011
Members of the Eurovision and the 'New' Europe panel in Oslo, 27 May 2010
There’s a big article in today’s Guardian (UK) (http://www NULL.guardian NULL.co NULL.uk/education/2011/may/02/eurovision-song-contest-research) about Eurovision research, focusing on the Eurovsion and the ‘New’ Europe project. Rumour has it that the print version also includes a handsome photograph of my co-director Milija Gluhovic but as you’re deprived that in the online version, here he is above (far left) along with a number of us from one of our research activities last year in Oslo.
This is the second recent article in the UK press about Eurovision research (http://www NULL.independent NULL.co NULL.uk/opinion/commentators/terence-blacker/terence-blacker-new-europe-plays-all-the-best-tunes-2248974 NULL.html) that takes our work (and the contest) much more seriously than has been the norm in recent years in Western Europe and particularly the UK and Ireland. We’re delighted about that.
The USA has gotten the Eurovision research buzz: here’s a recent piece (http://online NULL.wsj NULL.com/article/SB10001424052748703561604576150210586432164 NULL.html) which ran on page 1 of the Wall Street Journal, and a related blog (http://blogs NULL.wsj NULL.com/brussels/2011/03/15/eurovision-best-of-eu-culture/).
Interest has even stretched as far as Australia: below you’ll find links to podcasts about the politics of Eurovision created by an Australian radio station, including contributions from Milija and ‘New’ Europe network member Mari Pajala.
Finally – wondering if anyone got a chance to check out the broadcast of the Secret History of Eurovision documentary which screened last night on RTE in Ireland, and which features on-screen appearances by a number of our network members including Paul Jordan and Brian Singleton. It screens this Saturday, 7th May at 9 pm on More4 in the UK, and is also being screened in many other countries. Please comment if you saw the docu and tell us what you thought!
