[ecrea] Rhythm as Pattern and Variation Conference

RHYTHM AS PATTERN AND VARIATION: Political, Social and Artistic Inflections
 One-Day Conference
Goldsmiths (Professor Stuart Hall Building, Rooms LG01 and LG02)
Saturday 23 April 2016, from 9.30am to 6pm
 Keynote Speakers: Pascal Michon and Paul Hegarty
 Confirmed Speakers: Julian Henriques, Eleni Ikoniadou, Dee Reynolds, 
Beverly Skeggs, Simon Yuill, Sha Xin Wei & others.
 A recent renewed interest in rhythm highlights the relevance and 
urgency of a reconsideration of it in relation to our methodologies and 
practices in the humanities and social sciences. In an effort to think 
of the different ways in which rhythm can be said to be an originator 
and organisational principle of reality, and in an attempt to take 
seriously rhythm’s potential in terms of methodology, this one-day 
conference brings together a variety of approaches from different 
disciplines.
