Sound is a key symbol in the construction of identity in Northern Ireland. However, if one is growing up in a divided society such as Northern Ireland, the making of meaning through sound attains a duality whereby some sounds connote one's own people and some connote the 'other'. The theoretical problem of expressing this 'third space' is addressed by Papastergiadis in an essay that offers a means of explaining how the complexities of the Northern Irish conflict can still be represented by symbols that present themselves as binary opposites. Papastergiadis argues that there are seven contours of cultural identity that need to be traced if a comprehensive analysis of identity is to take place. These contours are central to the arguments developed in this chapter in relation to sound and identity in Northern Ireland
