Exploring Rhythmanalysis as a Method - TRC Lab 2024 Research Symposium Series

Following the 2023 Research Symposium Series on "Spaces, Times & the Rhythms of Adult Education", the 2024 TRC Lab Research Symposium Series will focus on the methodological potential of Rhythmanalysis. Both as an object of inquiry and as an interpretive lens, rhythm can offer untapped spaces for experimentation in human sciences but equally raises methodological dilemmas, especially at the stage of operationalization. In this series of webinars, we would like to explore methods, research designs, and clinical orientations, developed from, or inspired by Lefebvre's (1992/2004) undertheorized insights on rhythm. Hence we have invited 7 scholars from Brazil, Italy, Switzerland and the United Kingdom, who have worked with Rhythmanalysis in their respective fields or across disciplines, to share their experiences and foster debate around its affordances and limitations from a methodological perspective.

The seminars are also designed to enable a collective reflection on the current state of affairs and potentialities of rhyhtmanalytical research and practice. We would like to hear about new and existing ways of researching (with) Rhythmanalysis, and discuss how these might inform ways of teaching, learning, consulting, and coaching, concerned with critical (self-)reflection, transformational and/or emancipatory processes.

This Research Symposium Series welcomes non-specialist audiences alongside experts in the field, as it aims to strengthen the ranks of a growing international and transdisciplinary community of rhythm scholars and practitioners.

Participation in this Research Symposium Series is free and open to anyone. Each Zoom session starts with a presentation from the main speaker (approx. 45 min.) and is followed by a discussion with the audience (approx. 40 min.).

Registration is free and open to everyone at: https://www.sunkhronos.org/trc-rss-2024
