This project discusses how the Eurovision Song Contest provides a context for developing transnational conversations about Europe on social media. Drawing on computational and (n)ethnographic methods and focusing on the millions of Tweets that are exchanged between people across Europe, and in fact across the world during the grand final of the Eurovision song contest, the project examines how Twitter users engage with and talk about Europe and European affairs while watching the show.The project was developed as part of the Digital Humanities project at Aarhus University in 2018.
