The Eurovision Song Contest is an annual live television event watched by 125 million people in Europe, Australia, Canada and Asia. Nations compete for the best song and the winner is determined by televoting. Katrin Sieg analyzes the event as a venue where nations stake claims to European identity through music, and where we can observe changes in the concept of European community. This lecture will also examine the role of culture at a time when economic and political relations on the continent are fraying as a consequence of the financial crisis.
