Rhythms animate our lives and the worlds we inhabit. Rhythms of
getting things done, of working technologies, of day and night and
the seasons, and of shared patterns of work, home-life and moving
around. Rhythms are also intrinsically about flows of energy -
heat, light, motion - from the smallest movements of muscles, to
the petrol-fuelled rhythms of the rush hour, the spinning of wind
turbines and shifting cycles of solar radiation. This book sets out
to energise Lefebvre's rhythmanalysis in order to develop a novel
and far reaching polyrhythmic conceptualisation of the beats and
pulses of our relations with energy in both its natural and
technological forms. Social theory, thermodynamic thinking and
diverse streams of energy-oriented research are brought together to
trace how the climate crisis has the rhythmic patterning of big
power energy systems at its core; and how transitioning to a just,
low carbon future means transforming energy systems and our
everyday dependencies on them into new rhythmic patterns and
interrelations.
