The vol­ume Plu­ral­iz­ing Rhythm aims to rid rhythm of its harm­less, nearly eso­teric, rep­u­ta­tion as a cos­mic uni­fier by under­stand­ing it in the light of the con­tem­po­rary medial turn. It con­sists of con­tri­bu­tions that com­bine the polit­i­cal, aes­thetic, musi­cal and the­o­ret­i­cal dimen­sion of rhythm, by per­form­ing a close analy­sis of text and objects from con­tem­po­rary arts, music and pol­i­tics. In short, Plu­ral­iz­ing Rhythm com­pli­cates, dis­turbs and plu­ral­izes the notion of rhythm.
