Nigel Thrift: Non-Representational Theory: Space, Politics, Affect (2007)
Filed under book | Tags: · affect, anthropology, cultural studies, everyday, geography, life, non-representational theory, politics, social theory, sociology, space
“This book presents a distinctive approach to the politics of everyday life. Ranging across a variety of spaces in which politics and the political unfold, it questions what is meant by perception, representation and practice, with the aim of valuing the fugitive practices that exist on the margins of the known. It revolves around three key functions.
It introduces the rather dispersed discussion of non-representational theory to a wider audience; provides the basis for an experimental rather than a representational approach to the social sciences and humanities; and begins the task of constructing a different kind of political genre.”

Henri Lefebvre: Rhythmanalysis: Space, Time, and Everyday Life (1992/2004)
Filed under book | Tags: · city, everyday, history, life, marxism, movement, presence, space, time
“Rhythmanalysis displays all the characteristics which made Lefebvre one of the most important Marxist thinkers of the twentieth century. In the analysis of rhythms — both biological and social — Lefebvre shows the interrelation of space and time in the understanding of everyday life. With dazzling skills, Lefebvre moves between discussions of music, the commodity, measurement, the media and the city. In doing so he shows how a non-linear conception of time and history balanced his famous rethinking of the question of space. This volume also includes his earlier essays on ‘The Rhythmanalysis Project’ and ‘Attempt at the Rhythmanalysis of Mediterranean Towns’.”
