Overview

In Rhythmanalysis, Henri Lefebvre put forward his ideas on the relationship between time and space, particularly how rhythms characterize space. Here, leading geographers are brought together to expand and advance on Lefebvre's theories, and to explore how they intersect with current theoretical and political concerns within the social sciences.
