The panel seeks to emphasize the binding factors of popular music, ranging from the idea of the Eurovision Song Contest and funding programs such as Music Moves Europe to a European academical culture in dealing with popular music. Moreover, the focus lies on identification points which elevate popular music of the countries of romance languages to a shared identity of international exchange. Various local realities have established themselves in Romance-speaking Europe as European metropolise.

Popular Music of Europe in Romance Languages? – Historical and Present Dimensions of ‘Hidden’ Connections

Common values and convictions as well as a common memorial culture serve as an essential link to the European idea. Europe or the identification with it, however, suffers from the lack of a common popular culture, especially after US culture has lost its binding force and commonalities are now often found more strongly on a binational level. This is further demonstrated by the fact that the perception of a common European popular culture is a very one-sided one – on the one hand we find a Europe that presents itself as a global community, while on the other, national movements actively work against the trend towards a common popular culture and elevate popular music to a national-patriotic identifier.

Moreover, the focus lies on identification points which elevate popular music of the countries of romance languages to a shared identity of international exchange. Various local realities have established themselves in Romance-speaking Europe as European metropolises of popular music and are characterized by the current “super diversity”, yet also considered to be the cornerstone of local and regional authenticity issues.
