- Julian Henriques, Milla Tiainen & Pasi Valiaho : “Introduction : Rhythm Returns – Movement and Cultural Theory”
- This introduction charts several of rhythm’s various returns as a way of laying out
the theoretical and methodological field in which the articles of this special issue
find their place. While Henri Lefebvre’s rhythmanalysis is perhaps familiar to many,
rhythm has appeared in a wide repertoire of guises, in many disciplines over the
decades and indeed the centuries. This introduction attends to the particular roles
of rhythm in the formation of modernity ranging from the processes of industrialization
and the proliferation of new media technologies to film and literary
aesthetics as well as conceptualizations of human psychology, social behaviour and
physiology. These are some of the historical antecedents to the contemporary
understandings of rhythm within body studies to which most of the contributions
to this issue are devoted. In this respect, the introduction outlines recent
approaches to rhythm as vibration, a force of the virtual, and an intensive excess
outside consciousness.
- Keywords : body culture, modernity, phenomenology, psychology, rhythmanalysis, vibration, the virtual.
