Abstract
Through an analysis of the way the qualia of noise and quiet are invoked and either given value or stigmatized in a school in Oslo, Norway, this paper traces the ways that people's bodies, their voices, and their material environments are constructed as being either similar or opposed to the ‘us’ of middle-class, majority Norwegians. I build on Inoue (2003)'s argument that modes of hearing are the effect of a particular regime of social power. This attention to qualia allows us to develop clearer insight into the creation of one implicit form of exclusion within the city.
