Ideas about Rhythm

For anyone else interested in rhythm, here are some quotes and ideas from Henri Lefebvre.


"The analysis of rhythms provides a privileged insight into the question of everyday life"
Elden S, 2004, "Rhythmanalysis: Space, time and everyday life", Continuum, London, p viii


Can we rethink walking through the notion of rhythm?


Rhythm coexists between social and biological dimensions. Lefebvre notes "at no moment has the analysis of rhythms and rhythmanalytical project lost sight of the body"
Lefebvre H, 1992, "Elements de rhythmamalyse", p 91


The body is a tool for subsequent investigations on rhythm; it is the first point of analysis.


"Everywhere where there is interaction between a place, a time and an expenditure of energy, there is rhythm"
Lefebvre H, 1992, "Elements de rhythmamalyse", p 26


"We are only conscious of most of our rhythms when we begin to suffer from some irregularity"
Lefebvre H & Regulier C, 1985, "The Rhythmanalytical Project" in "Rhythmanalysis: Space, time and everyday life", Continuum, London, p 77
