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.
Paola Crespi and Sunil Manghani’s edited volume brings an important contribution to a long tradition of research around human rhythms and their political dimensions. This vibrant collection of interdisciplinary essays constitutes a unique attempt in the English-speaking field to articulate theoretical and empirical research focusing on the study of rhythms. Doing so, this book demonstrates forcefully the relevance of the analysis of rhythmic phenomena to critically reinterpret current cultural dynamics. * Michel Alhadeff-Jones, Teachers College, Columbia University *
