Erin Gee shares her 7 night research into contemporary short-wave including military broadcasts, amateur morse operators and the mysterious phenomena of numbers stations. Généralement situées entre les bandes AM et FM sur votre radio, les fréquences à ondes courtes sont rarement explorées. Erin Gee partagera les résultats de sept nuits de recherche sur l'étendue actuelle de la radiodiffusion sur ondes courtes, y compris les transmissions militaires, les messages amateurs en code Morse et le phénomène mystérieux des postes à numéros. Neil Scotten Nostalgia and Memory Making / La nostalgie et l'élaboration de la mémoire The term "nostalgia" can be variously understood. It can be anything from a surprising, sometimes wildly inaccurate incursion from the past, to an occasionally fatal, unsatisfied longing for home. Using illustrations and ideas from the worlds of photography, diagnostic psychiatry and vintage electronics, this talk will suggest that nostalgia can be a useful guide to asking questions about our understandings of time and the nature of memory. Le terme de « nostalgie » peut être interprété de plusieurs manières, allant de l'incursion surprenante et parfois excessivement imprécise du passé au désir ardent, inassouvi et quelquefois fatal de retourner chez soi. À l'aide d'images et d'idées empruntées à la photographie, aux diagnostics psychiatriques et à l'électronique ancienne, la conférence suggérera que la nostalgie peut être un outil utile pour sonder notre compréhension du temps et de la nature de la mémoire.
