Eurovision - Australia Decides: a Conclusion. 330 $aThis book investigates Australia's relationship with the Eurovision Song Contest over time and place, from its first screening on SBS in 1983 to Australia's inaugural national selection in 2019. Beginning with an overview of Australia's Eurovision history, the contributions explore the contest's role in Australian political participation and international relations; its significance for Australia's diverse communities, including migrants and the LGBTQIA+ community; racialised and gendered representations of Australianness; changing ideas of liveness in watching the event; and a reflection on teaching Australia's first undergraduate course dedicated to the Eurovision Song Contest. The collection brings together a group of scholar-fans from a variety of interdisciplinary perspectives - including history, politics, cultural studies, performance studies, and musicology - to explore Australia's transition from observer to participant in the first thirty-six years of its love affair with the Eurovision Song Contest. 606 $aCultural policy 606 $aCulture 606 $aAustralasia 606 $aEthnology$zEurope 606 $aMusic 606 $aCultural Policy and Politics 606 $aAustralasian Culture 606 $aEuropean Culture 606 $aMusic 615 0$aCultural policy. 615 0$aCulture. 615 0$aAustralasia. 615 0$aEthnology 615 0$aMusic. 615 14$aCultural Policy and Politics. 615 24$aAustralasian Culture. 615 24$aEuropean Culture. 615 24$aMusic. 676 $a306 676 $a782.421640794 702 $aHay$b Chris$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCarniel$b Jessica$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910484558603321 996 $aEurovision and Australia$92853380 997 $aUNINA
