In this article, Gilles Aubry examines the sonic dimension of the violent earthquake that destroyed the city of Agagdir in Morocco in 1960. He compares the modes of technocratic listening mobilized by the scientific experts in charge of the city's reconstruction with an oral account of the earthquake by local poet Ibn Ighil. He offers comments on sonic materiality and situated aurality, re-considering also the notion of "unsound" (Goodman 2012) from a local perspective.
