  • A Day in Tampere"
    "A Day in Tampere" Created by: Cityseeker 7 Locations Bookmarked Spy Museum "Espionage Stories" This unusual museum is housed within the Finalyson factory building near the busy center of Tampere, and is the first museum of its kind in the world. A curious collection of espionage awaits eager visitors here, featuring exhibit after exhibit about double agents around the globe, their stories, and the cleverly covert devices at their disposal. The lives of by Catlemur notorious spies like Julius Rosenberg, Mata Hari and other legendary secret agents seem wildly interesting, given that one is surrounded by lethal umbrellas, bottles of invisible ink and encryption apparatus. There is also a special collection of garden-variety spy instruments, including lie detectors, eavesdropping equipment, and infrared vision devices. Visitors can also take an 'agent test', following which they receive a recommendation letter to an espionage bureau. +358 3 212 3007 www.vakoilumuseo.fi/inde spy.museum@vakoilumuse Satakunnankatu 18, Tampere x.php/en/ o.fi Tampere Cathedral "Twentieth Century Cathedral" Spearing the bright blue skies of Tampere, the eponymous cathedral is one of the city's best-known sites, inspiring awe with its granite facade, red roofs, and dramatic spires. Designed by architect Lars Sonck, the church was built in a stately National Romantic style. This church aroused vehement debates when it was built at the beginning of the 20th Century, by MatteoTRphoto spurred by the bold paintings of famous Finnish artist Hugo Simberg. The frescoes that were mired in controversy depicted serpentine imagery, nubile figures and morbid skeletons, and denoted sin and corruption.

  • EDXC Conference 2017
    50 th EDXC Conference in Tampere Alan Pennington reports from Finland The 2017 European DX Council (EDXC) conference was held in Tampere, Finland between 18 th - 20 th August, hosted by the Finnish DX Association (FDXA) (Suomen DX-Liitto (SDXL) in Finnish). Local FDXA member club is the Tampere DX-listeners club (TreDXK). Both EDXC and TreDXK, were celebrating their 50 th anniversary this year, having been founded in 1967. On 6 th December this year, Finland will also celebrate 100 years of independence from Russia. So lots to celebrate! Helsinki Central railway station. Risto outside FDXA office in Helsinki Those delegates staying in Helsinki on the day before the conference started were kindly invited on a short walking tour of some of Helsinki’s city centre attractions, led by Risto Vähäkainu of the FDXA, which ended with some welcome local refreshments at the FDXA office in Annankatu. The city of Tampere is in southern Finland, a 160km 90-minute express train ride north of the capital, Helsinki. It is sited between two lakes which are linked by the Tammerkoski, a 1km channel of rapids whose power was harnessed by the textile industry in the 19 th century, and whose heritage red brick mills still line its banks. As a result, the city is often compared to Manchester (UK), but today the old industries have gone, and it is a thriving modern technology and university city, the third largest in Finland with a population of around 220,000. The conference venue was the modern Varala Sports Institute (https://varala.fi ), sited in a lakeside forest, 3km from Tampere city centre.

This is the tenth Crossroads conference to date, and we have returned to the site where four of the first five such gatherings were held. One of the main hallmarks of the Crossroads conference has always been its ability to showcase the rich variety of ways that cultural studies is practiced in different national and regional contexts. As such, I encourage of you to take advantage of this unique opportunity to expand your sense of what cultural studies is – and can be. Let me also extend my heartfelt thanks to Conference Director Mikko Lehtonen and his team of conference organizers and program planners. A conference of this size and scope requires a tremendous amount of labor over several years, and I deeply appreciate all the time and energy that our hosts have devoted to making this a successful and enjoyable event for all of us. The next four days promise to be an intellectually rewarding gathering of cultural studies practitioners from across the globe that will enrich us all. Welcome – and enjoy! Gilbert B.
