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.Notes on ContributorsYi Chen, University of the Arts London, UK.Paola Crespi, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK.Julian Henriques, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK,Garrett Laroy Johnson, Arizona State University, USA.Sunil Manghani, Winchester School of Art, University of Southampton, UK.Henry Meschonnic, (1932–2009) Pascal Michon, Paris, France.Caroline Nevejan, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands.Marko Pajević, University of Tartu, Estonia.Stamatia Portanova, Università degli Studi di Napoli ‘L’Orientale’, Italy.Pinar Sefkatli, Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research, Netherlands.Sha Xin Wei, Arizona State University, USA.Beverley Skeggs, University of Lancaster, UK.Chantal Wright, Warwick University, UK.Simon Yuill, artist, programmer and a researcher.
