  How might the notion of sonic citizenship hold potential to expand and reimagine our ideas of citizenship? This audio paper seeks out sites and structures where citizenship is contested, exploring how such systems of exclusion are expressed and resisted in sonic terms, and how practices of sounding and listening might offer more inclusive and convivial ways to imagine how and to what we belong. By tuning in to sonic fragments from a prison choir in Dublin, a band in Oslo, a sweat lodge community in Iceland, and artists in Australian immigration detention, together we explore how to listen through walls and beyond carceral systems, towards collective futures.

  The many idioms we use in relation to voice illustrate how the concept is understood in ways that layer the literal and the metaphorical. Phrases like “make your voice heard” or “raise your voice” connote not only the act of vocalizing and the sound waves and relational potential generated by it, but also broader questions of representation, democracy, protest, and citizenship. This chapter explores some of the multiple and complex meanings of voice and being heard in the context of music-making in the Norwegian prison system, asking whether and how music-making and vocal expression in carceral contexts can function as a pathway toward rights and citizenship. The reflections shared here are early findings from research carried out as part of the Prisons of Note project, which seeks to explore the relationship between prison music, including music education, music therapy, music-making and listening initiatives, and the sociocultural, political, ethical, and aesthetic implications of this creative practice. This chapter takes a dialogical and fragmented form, weaving together theoretical references from musicology, sound studies, and comparative penology; direct quotes from the voices of participants; and the authors’ own reflections on researching music in prisons. This experimental approach will evoke the flow of voices in conversation, bringing to the page modes of questioning, interjecting, embracing the tangential, and circling back. By making clear the situatedness of each voice represented, the chapter also functions as a critique of lingering expectations of neutrality or objectivity in the academic register and demonstrates the value of tuning in to the subjective.

  The Routledge International Handbook of Sensory Criminology reimagines what criminology can become when we take the senses seriously. Centring the sensory as fundamental to the experience of harm, justice, and resistance, this groundbreaking volume brings together 29 chapters from scholars across disciplines, career stages, and geographies. Together, they explore how power is heard, felt, inhaled, touched, and moved through, from courtrooms and prisons to museums, marine ecologies, colonial archives, transitional spaces, high‑crime zones, and urban streets. The Handbook opens up new pathways for criminological inquiry, offering rich, situated analysis of how the sensory shapes and is shaped by structures of criminalisation, exclusion, and survival. Contributors engage themes including punishment, victimhood, environmental harm, archival memory, decolonial justice, and innovative methodologies. Rather than offering a prescriptive vision, the volume offers a provocation: to expand the criminological imagination and embrace new ways of knowing, sensing, and intervening. This Handbook is an essential reading for students, scholars, and early career researchers in criminology, sociology, law, anthropology, geography, gender studies, politics, and cultural studies, as well as those interested in decolonial approaches, sensory methods, and interdisciplinary justice research.

  Scholarship on prison music-making projects and programmes to date has largely overlooked the perspectives of prison music facilitators, who form an integral part of many prison music activities. The aim of the study, which was exploratory in nature, was to contribute to a better understanding overall of the relationship between music and imprisonment by focusing on the perspectives of prison music practitioners. Drawing from data collected in four Norwegian prisons through ethnographic research, data was analysed thematically with four key themes emerging: interpersonal communication and emotional connection; social responsibility; prison system and environment, and (in)difference and exclusion. The findings highlight the fact that the range of prison music activities offered in many Norwegian prisons affects music facilitators deeply in a number of ways, and support existing studies that find that prison music practices can contribute to creating a community of caring individuals both inside and outside prisons. Notably, the emergence of the (in)difference and exclusion theme demonstrates a more critical and nuanced view of prison music facilitators’ experiences as going beyond simplistic, romantic notions of music’s function in social transformation. Concerns raised for those who appear to be excluded or differentiated from music-making opportunities in prison – in particular foreign nationals and women – suggest that (even) in the Norwegian context, music in prisons remains a “reward” rather than a fundamental “right.” This study marks a step towards a richer and more critical understanding of prison musicking and aims to inform future research, practice, and the processes involved in the possibilities for offering music in prisons.

  This article interrogates ideas of popular music "sound(s)" linked to place by interpreting data gathered during the applied research project Mapping Popular Music in Dublin (MPMiD) 2015-16. An outline background, rationale and framework for MPMiD is presented, followed by a review of methods developed and overall themes that emerged. Focusing on the project's "Sounding Dublin" strand, the article analyses the responses of 366 participants from a section of MPMiD's e-survey relating to music, musicians, sounds and soundtracks that might be considered "typical" (or otherwise) of Dublin. Although a substantial minority of participants eschew notions of sonic uniqueness linked to place in the abstract sense, the data reveal a rich tapestry of experiences and standpoints linked to ideas of a Dublin sound or sounds. Some appear to concur with conventional hagiographies of rock and folk, with others challenging received narratives and proposing alternative viewpoints, scenes and pathways. "Dublin-specific" associations emerging across various genres are based on appraisals of performer engagement, accent and timbre, and narrative/lyrical style.

  Sound and Detention explores soundscapes in places, processes and systems of confinement in order to better understand experiences of imprisonment and to imagine alternatives to the carceral state. Bringing together over 40 contributors from five continents, the book tunes in to some of the manifold effects associated with the presence and absence of sound and music in prisons and places of detention: from isolation, harm and control, to connection, healing and resistance. Scholarly texts feature alongside poetry, dialogue, memoir and experimental creative writing, as well as a diverse collection of audio productions on the book's accompanying website. This plurality of form mediates the voices of artists, activists, thinkers and practitioners – some themselves currently or formerly incarcerated. Through deep engagement with the sonic realm and with questions of power, the contributors explore what it might mean to listen nearby – making space to hold distinct perspectives and positionalities in respectful simultaneity – while also amplifying resonances between sound, listening and broader questions of epistemic and social justice.

  Throughout the history of western vocal music, high notes and high voices have come to signify a range of ideas that don’t seem at first to be issues of gender but which very rapidly turn out to be gendered spaces. From the purity and innocence of the angelic church treble, through the coloratura of the nineteenth-century operatic madwoman and the heroic climaxes of her tenor counterpart, to the antisemitic coding in Wagner’s high-tessitura villain roles, high voices do an awful lot of cultural work. Drawn from a book-length project on the topic, this paper will consider how high voices and high vocal notes code for sinister spaces—the devilish, the demonic, the underworld—and how these spaces are also intensely gendered. In order to explore these themes, I draw on examples from heavy metal and death metal, opera from Purcell to Penderecki, musical theatre, and various vocal accompaniments to death.

  This collection is an exploration of what it means to listen and to engage with sound in carceral settings, gathering a multitude of voices and stories emerging from locations from Greece to Gaza, India to Ireland, and England to Eritrea. The book occupies an in-between space – traversing diverse academic disciplines, life experiences, art forms and cultures – with the aim of making sense of what it means to attend to the sounds in prisons, jails, asylum centres and other places and spaces of detention. Drawing together insight from academics, artists, activists and people currently or formerly incarcerated increases capacity for thinking collectively, contextually and critically while also keeping the book grounded in experiences that have been viscerally and sensorially lived. This rich melodic tapestry spans time and space, allowing for a broader consideration of connections between accounts of what sound – and specifically music – does in places and processes of confinement. Amplifying sonic components of detention encourages a critical reflection of what it is to experience them, as well as affecting how we conceive of justice and citizenship.

  This FUAIM lecture provides an overview of PRISONS OF NOTE, a four-year research project that employs mixed-methods to investigate the multifaceted role of music within the penal systems of Norway, Iceland, and Ireland. One of the primary aims of this research is to contribute new, interdisciplinary knowledge on how music is used and is useful in prisons from a peripheral perspective, shifting from isolated, single-nation case studies to interconnected, transcultural experiences. This lecture offers a critical reflection on this research project in progress, underscoring both the unforeseen challenges and the innovative opportunities encountered during the research process. With a particular focus on fieldwork conducted in the Irish prison context, the lecture will delve into two illustrative case studies: First, an “inside-outside” choir uniting men serving sentences in Mountjoy Prison with women from a Dublin workplace choir, and second, a collaborative soundscape created by students and their teacher from Cork Prison, exhibited as a sound installation on Spike Island in summer 2024. These cases uncover the nuanced dynamics and emerging tensions in the intersection of prison music-making, community-based artistic activities, and their various stakeholders. As such, the lecture explores music’s dual role as a medium of artistic citizenship and as a site for the negotiation and contestation of artistic agency and social values, highlighting the complexities inherent in such collaborative creative endeavors.

  Join us for a public talk that explores the ongoing Prisons of Note project, a ground-breaking four-year investigation into the impact of music and sound in criminal justice systems. This research crosses disciplinary boundaries and moves beyond isolated case studies to reveal how music is used and is useful in prisons from a peripheral perspective, through fieldwork in prisons in Norway, Iceland and Ireland. The talk will offer a critical reflection on this research project in progress, underscoring both the unforeseen challenges and the innovative opportunities encountered along the way. Focusing on research carried out in Irish prisons, we will delve into two particularly compelling case studies. First, an “inside-outside” choir that unites incarcerated men in Mountjoy Prison with women from a Dublin workplace choir, who have sang together as the InHouse Harmony choir for the past five years. Second, a collaborative soundscape project created by students and their teacher from Cork Prison, exhibited as a sound installation on the historic Spike Island in 2024. Throughout the talk, we will explore music’s dual role as a dynamic medium for sonic citizenship and the negotiation and contestation of artistic agency and social values. With the Irish prison service experiencing well-publicized challenges including during this period of research, such cases reveal the nuanced dynamics and emerging tensions arising from the intersection of prison music-making and community arts. This talk invites attendees to reflect on music’s potential to reshape and strengthen communities within and beyond the prison walls.

  When you think of music in prison, you might jump immediately to the iconic image of Johnny Cash’s performance at Folsom Prison in California. However, music in prisons is not just a thing of the past. It continues to prove an instrumental tool for rehabilitation and a means to allow prisoners to express themselves in difficult circumstances. There are a number of interesting research projects in this area, one of which is led by Irishwoman Dr Áine Mangaoang. Dr Mangaoang is taking a closer look at the role of music in the lives of persons in prison in Ireland, Iceland and Norway.

  Music is a powerful vehicle for catalysing social change, and for supporting education and collaboration. That’s according to SOLAS, the state agency responsible for Further Education and Training (FET) in Ireland, who hosted the ‘PROS and CONS: A Symposium on Music and Incarceration’ event inside the Progression Unit in Mountjoy Prison. The event was a collaborative initiative between the InHouse Harmony Choir in partnership with SOLAS, the Irish Prison Service and the Prisons of Note (University of Oslo) project. The event, the first of its kind in Ireland, brought together the voices of musicians in prison and their musical collaborators with academic experts to explore the benefits of making music together in the prison environment. It also highlighted the benefits of this collaborative work for all involved. The InHouse Harmony choir, which is SOLAS’ inside/outside choir collaboration at Mountjoy Prison celebrated an important milestone of five years in existence with performances from choir members including men serving sentences in the Progression Unit in Mountjoy Prison and SOLAS employees.

  In October 2020 Routledge published, Made in Ireland: Studies in Popular Music, this is part of Routledge’s global popular music series which, as they put it, is ‘devoted to popular music largely unknown to Anglo-American readers’. This collection of essays, through a wide range of historical and critical vantage points, explores popular music on the island of Ireland. Made in Ireland is edited by Áine Mangaoang, John O’Flynn and Lonán Ó Briain and in this episode Lines on Music speaks to Áine and John about the collection and about the process of putting it together. We also discuss several of the chapters, we speak about Áine and John’s contributions to the collection and about some possible future trajectories of research on Irish popular music. !is episode is part one of two. In the following episode we speak to Tríona Ní Shíocháin about her contribution to the collection, “!e Politics of Sound: Modernity and Post-Colonial Identity in Irish-Language Popular Song”, so stay tuned for that.
