About this book

Investigates rhythm from the perspective of critical theory, philosophy and art

Includes newly translated materials from Rudolf Laban and Henri Meschonnic
Looks at rhythm in relation to theoretical debates, politics and ethics, and rhythmanalysis
Locates the significance of rhythm for the analysis of the everyday and its flow

Rhythm and Critique presents 12 new essays from a range of specialists to define, contextualise and challenge the concepts of rhythm and rhythmanalysis. It includes newly translated materials from Rudolf Laban and Henri Meschonnic. The book begins with a genealogy of rhythm as it occurs through critical theory literatures of the 20th century, enabling the reader to situate philosophical and contemporary readings that further define rhythm as a critical term and mode of analysis.

In placing emphasis upon rhythm as cultural technique and locating its significance for the analysis of the everyday, the book offers a clear and engaging overview of a fascinating theoretical field. It helps map a range of histories and approaches and considers how rhythm might now emerge more forcefully and pertinently as a critical framing for contemporary culture.
