Rhythm analysis is the title of a book by Henri Lefebvre. The term is also mentioned earlier in the work of Lefebvre. According to Lefebvre rhythm is a tool for analyzing urban spaces, and the effects on the inhabitants of those spaces (Lefebvre, 1994).
Rhythms can be found everywhere in our daily life. ' Everywhere where there is interaction between a place, a time and an expenditure of energy, there is a rhythm.' (Lefebvre, 1994, p.15)
There are two kinds of rhythms: linear rhythms and cyclical rhythms. An example of linear rhythm would be the flow of information from a radio, what gives a certain rhythm. A good example for a cyclical rhythm would be day fading into nignt, and night brightening into day. Cyclical repetitions and the linear repetitions are seperate out under analysis, however these two kinds of rhythms interfare constantly in reallife. (Lefebvre, 1994, p. 8)
hythmanalysis is a collection of essays by Marxist sociologist and philosopher Henri Lefebvre. The book outlines a method for analyzing the rhythms of urban spaces and the effects of those rhythms on the inhabitants of those spaces. It builds on his past work, with which he argued space is a production of social practices.
The book is considered to be the fourth volume in his series Critique of Everyday Life. Published in 1992 after his death, Rhythmanalysis is the last book Lefebvre wrote.
Lefebvre’s concept of rhythm concerns the repetition of a measure at a frequency. He identifies two kinds of rhythms: cyclical rhythms, which involve simple intervals of repetition, and alternating (or linear) rhythms. An example of a cyclical rhythm would be day fading into night, and night brightening into day; a linear rhythm might be the flow of information from a television set. Additionally, rhythms may be nested within each other; for example, the broadcast of the local news at set intervals throughout the day, throughout the week, is an example of a nested rhythm. In a less abstract fashion (or perhaps only abstract in a different fashion), Lefebvre asserts that rhythms exist at the intersection of place, time and the expenditure of energy.
