Book synopsis

The common view holds that Eurovision is a contest§aiming to produce cultural uniformity and unable to§perform our national distinctiveness. Arguing§against such a claim, the present study attempts to§identify the ways in which national identities are§reproduced on stage by focusing on the Turkish and§Greek case. Nationalism is not merely a political§ideology or a stir of irrational feelings but rather§a way of thinking which shapes and in turn is shaped§by the social milieu. It goes without saying that§national identities are neither natural facts nor§fixed but evolving and fluid categories. Departing§from a social constructionist point of view, the§study attempts to examine how Turks and Greeks§particularly produce their identities through the§discursive reproduction of their national myths and§culture. Claims we make about us and others §constitute our identity and signify the§naturalization of nationalism as a particular§language of making sense of the social world.
