| Sumario: | The traces of Lúcio Pinheiro dos Santos, Portuguese mathematician and philosopher who became known as the ghost philosopher, are faint, mainly because his work has vanished in a bonfire in front of the Municipal Chamber of Lisbon. However, the few vestiges that could be found are forceful, and in them lies the possibility of creating a new scientific field, Rhythmanalysis. The one who suggests it is Henri Lefebvre, who sees rhythm not just as an object of analysis, but as a tool for listening to the temporalities and rhythmic disruptions in which human activities take place. In this article, I will focus on Henri Lefebvre’s proposal and on contributing to add complexity to the conceptualisation and practice of rhythmanalysis. These contributions, resulting both from the uses of the methodology I developed, and from critical theorizations of the Eurocentric conception of modernity, cradle of the rhythmanalitic proposal, are grouped under the designation Rhuthmanalysis. The displacement of the name consists in a linguistic and conceptual detour, thus seeking to expand the analysis of rhythms beyond the human. From the ghost to the dead, what I aim to propose is a “wanderer rhuthmanalysis” and, at the same time, still (and perhaps always) ongoing. |
