Armchair Researchers: Modes of Ethnographic Research for Understanding and Experiencing the Eurovision Song Contest

Chris Hay, Jessica Carniel

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter explores the various modes of “field” research utilised in Eurovision scholarship, from digital ethnography to on-site fieldwork. In particular, it interrogates the idea of what constitutes “on-site”, as well as the blurring of public/private boundaries in research, as a primary site for most Eurovision researchers is rarely the arena itself but a combination of both their own living rooms and social media spaces.
