memory place identity

A reminder that Zohar has kindly set up a session for us in the blackbox to continue our explorations. I'll be late, after five, but if I'm right in remembering, Zohar is planning to begin setup at two. Can you please post us the schedule. 

Also I just had what might be a breakthrough thought: an auditory Stratton, to try alongside our displacement plans. 

Noise cancelling headphones; lightweight mikes on the earpieces; left mike feeds into right channel, right mike into left channel, with all apparatus light weight on the body. You are in an office. An alarm clock goes off, a telephone rings, a computer makes a shutdown sound, a door opens, a fire truck goes by. You try to find, locate remember things by sound. What happens when the acoustic field is reversed. Could also delay the channels. And also could as in the others experiment dislocate the sound sources from the visual objects. Or maybe by subtle delays/processing on the mike to speaker loop, slightly slew all sounds leftward, rightward, inward, outward. 

I.e., acoustic equivalent of changing placement of eyes in head. 

Finally: going to invite two independent studies MA students from my phenomenology class to come. One wrote to me yesterday saying for his final symposium paper he want to explore Heidegger's points about temporality by thinking about what happens to time when we can't hear/here our own footsteps, linking this up to Beckett's Footfalls. The other is trained as a dancer and for her previous paper on Husserl showed us how we could learn about Husserlian retentive/protentive temporality by attending to swinging our arms. This time she's going to do Heideggerian temporality via a study of balance.
