Abstract
This chapter defines rhythm in ways that carve out the distinct attentions, orientations and procedures of rhythmanalysis. There are two conceptual configurations of rhythms which are to be discussed: rhythm as a meta-sense and rhythm as temporal-spatial relations in which social entities are (dis)ordered. Rhythmanalysis is posited as a methodology that directs our attention to these registers and forms of experience (albeit not limited to them). The chapter examines how the methodology of rhythmanalysis can be practised in relation to cultural historical research. In particular, focusing on how rhythmanalysis offers perspectives for engaging with the notion of ‘contexts’ (as Lawrence Grossberg argues that Cultural Studies is about making ‘radical contexts’). To instantiate a type of contextual analysis for which rhythmanalysis serves to be a potent analytical tool, the chapter uses the notion of ‘conjuncture’ in relation to the late 1970s’ shift of cultural political landscape in Britain claimed by Stuart Hall. Drawing on the main concepts of rhythmanalysis (e.g. ‘polyrhythmia’, the agential role of rhythms), the chapter addresses how conjunctural analysis is itself a type of contextual work and how, through this, we can enrich discourses of the 1970s’ conjuncture by re-thinking the category of conjunctural analysis through rhythmanalysis.
