Rhythmanalysis of the Policescape: The Promise of an Ecological Turn in the Practice of Soundscape Studies

Abstract

Employing Henri Lefebvre’s concept of rhythmanalysis I argue for an ecological turn in practicing soundscape studies, which would entail putting the subject – the listener, or “rhythmanalysist” – in the centre of research. I offer a critical (post-Marxist) “rhythmanalysis” of soundscape of landscape of “policing” (concept developed following Jacques Rancie`re).

Na podlagi koncepta analize ritma, katerega avtor je Henri Lefebvre, zagovarjam ekološki preobrat pri izvajanju študij zvočnih krajin, kar naj bi zagotovilo subjektu – poslušalcu oziroma analizatorju ritma – osrednji položaj v sklopu raziskave. Ponujam kritično (pomarksistično) »analizo ritma« zvočne pokrajine pejsaža »policinga«, kot ga je definiral Jacques Rancie`re.
