Spaces of Reproduction: How Teenagers Co-construct Post Industrial
Soundscapes in Smithfield, Dublin.
PhD thesis, National University of Ireland Maynooth.
Abstract
This thesis provides an in-depth argument for the inclusion of sound
as formative in the social construction and shaping of urban spaces, and mobile
mediation practices within the urban. This thesis: (1) advances theories of sound
within sociology; (2) contributes new data on sound in urban development and spatial
use; (3) interrogates the role of mobile mediation in navigating spaces of regeneration,
and (4) explores these concepts with young teenagers. This research examines sound
and the urban using Lefebvre’s theory of space, particularly his theorization of
symbolic spaces. It also offers a critique of the politicizing and policing of noise
within the EU, as well as Ireland’s adoption of quantitative models to measure sound.
