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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Hay\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030200574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030200572\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/07\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.75d","brand":"Chris Hay","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48089054118143,"sku":"9783030200572","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eb6e1575-9ee5-4617-9133-4b6cc96aa3a2.jpg?v=1769107941","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/eurovision-and-australia-chris-hay-9783030200572","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
