“…Although there is a large literature dedicated to rhythm as it develops in place, ranging from rhythm analysis (Lefebvre 2004) to more recent studies in human geography (e.g., Edensor 2012), we are drawn especially to Henriques' (2010Henriques' ( , 2014 explorations of the vibration of affect. Henriques' analyses emphasize bodies that move and feel, and the 'intensive variations, (meta)stabilities, and transmissions that underpin and constantly reorganize the seemingly permanent substance and phenomenological qualities of material, physical, and perceptual entities' (Henriques, Tiainen, and Väliaho 2014, 19).…”

Increasingly, adult mentors in informal, media-rich settings, like libraries and museums, seek to integrate both learning and civic engagement opportunities for youth into designed programming. This article illustrates how youth open and sustain opportunities for civic engagement over the course of a six-month, youth-driven programMetro: Building Blocks (MBB) -housed within a digital media learning lab in an urban public library. Analysis develops the concept of civic rhythms as a means to feel out the social and affective contours of civic engagement that emerge in MBB. To better understand the civic rhythms of MBB, analysis focuses specifically on three rhythmic elements: pulsation, reciprocation, and oscillation. The article concludes suggesting that future research develop principles for designing-in-time that assist researchers and mentors in attuning to the youth-driven rhythms that sustain informal, media-rich programs.

“…Rhythms can also create paradoxical experiences of meaning and fulfilment against the mundanity of everyday life (Cutcher et al, 2016;Lefebvre, 1991). In turn, as the all-encompassing 'ontology of what makes us human' (Bennett, 2015:958;Laban, 1921Laban, /2014, the extension of rhythms across everyday space can be illustrated through the flow of waves falling on a beach (Henriques et al, 2014;Lefebvre, 2004).…”

Migrant labour as space: Rhythmanalysing the agri-food industry

The UK agri-food industry is heavily dependent on migrant labour and, as result, the position and experiences of migrant workers have remained topics of research interest for over a decade. To date, a prolific body of research in the organisation studies literature has addressed the subordinate and exploited position of migrants against a backdrop of precarious terms and conditions of work. Studies have also extolled the scope for worker mobility and resistance, as well as explored the intersectional and non-reductive complexity of migrant life. Although offering valuable insights, these literatures present a disembedded portrayal of the agri-food industry, studying its regulatory provisions, everyday routines and work patterns in abstraction from the spaces within which they occur. Existing research has failed to recognise these processes as modes of space production, in line with Henri Lefebvre’s trialectic framework. This issue of Organization enables us to bring empirical and theoretical insights into this often neglected area, pertaining both to the study of migrant labour spaces and the identification of the rhythms through which these spaces are produced. Accordingly, our study combines Rudolf Laban’s ‘ontology of rhythm’ and Henri Lefebvre’s ‘rhythmanalysis’ methodology. Aided by our own positionality as former agri-food workers, we show how regulating, connecting and ‘dressage’ rhythms intersect agri-food space in a process of relational and multifaceted ‘ordering’, rather than static order. We contribute to the organisation studies literature by conceptualising the missing, spatial dimension in the agri-food migrant industry and demonstrating the value of rhythmanalysis as an underutilised methodology for its continued study.

“…Focal moments emerged as rhythmic peaks of intensity where resonances of the material←→discursive echoed. As Henriques, Tiainen, and Väliaho (2014) contend, “there is a rhetoric to rhythm, we feel it, it carries an affective charge, conveying meaning as feeling and tone, rather than logic or information” (p. 4). Thus, the effects resulting in a data assemblage were emergent.…”

Writing With Wearables? Young Children’s Intra-Active Authoring and the Sounds of Emplaced Invention

Drawing upon conceptual approaches in sound studies, posthuman literacies, and new materialisms, this article highlights how writing for young learners is always already an emplaced invention of withness. Zeroing in on a diffractive experiment of young children reauthoring Showers’s picture book, The Listening Walk, this study charts how the withness of writing is a communicative project that is all at once elliptical, relational, and coexistent. Reading the literacy desirings and material←→discursive intra-actions of 12 young children writing with wearables, the article illuminates how more-than-human ecologies of literacy amplify composition not as a practice of being, but of becoming. Thinking with Henriques’s conception of rhythmic elements (periodic pulses, reciprocal resonances, and oscillating overtures), findings are presented as strategic sketches. Attuning to writing as a more-than-human assemblage, this article pedagogically amplifies new be(com)ings of writing and literacy-in-action while theoretically resituating research as a process that thinks with.
