Rhythmanalysis: space, time and everyday life

By: Contributor(s): Series: Bloomsbury Revelations SeriesPublication details: 2013 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc LondonDescription: viii, 115 pSubject(s): DDC classification:
  • 194 L3R4
Summary: Rhythmanalysis displays all the characteristics which made Lefebvre one of the most important Marxist thinkers of the twentieth century. In the analysis of rhythms -- both biological and social -- Lefebvre shows the interrelation of space and time in the understanding of everyday life.With dazzling skills, Lefebvre moves between discussions of music, the commodity, measurement, the media and the city. In doing so he shows how a non-linear conception of time and history balanced his famous rethinking of the question of space. This volume also includes his earlier essays on "The Rhythmanalysis Project" and "Attempt at the Rhythmanalysis of Mediterranean Towns." https://www.bloomsbury.com/in/rhythmanalysis-9781472507167/

One of the most beautiful books I have read. Integrates a teleology for music (broken down into melody-harmony-rhythm), spatiality, and the historical process. It's rich with examples and references, even though the ideas are succinctly laid out.
