Practising
Rhythmanalysis – Theories and Methodologies
by Yi Chen (London College of Communication, University of
the Arts)
This book explores rhythmanalysis as a philosophy and as a
research method for the study of cultural historical experiences. It formulates
‘rhythm’ as a critical concept which is defined in dialogic relationships to
intellectual traditions, yet introducing unique philosophical positions that
serve to re-think ways of conceiving and addressing cultural political issues.
Engaging with the notion of ‘conjunctural shift’, which for Stuart Hall
captures the ruptured social landscape of Britain in the 1970s, the book then
puts the method of rhythmanalysis to work by testifying the changing cultural
experiences in rhythmic terms. This particular rhythmanalytical project
instantiates while opening up ways of using rhythmanalysis for exploring
cultural historical experiences.
