Rhythm and Critique presents twelve new essays from a range of specialists to define, contextualise and challenge the concepts of rhythm and rhythmanalysis, and 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 twentieth 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.

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.
