Rhythm is everywhere. Its ability to focus and unify interdisciplinary conversation begs the questions: What is rhythm and can different disciplines agree on its definition? Rhythm studies have emerged as a key background form traversing cultural, natural, and social forms like cognition, communication, and even cosmology. An added boon: this background can seem unifying. Those who explore such entangled phenomena study the throbbing presence of rhythmic, oscillatory, and vibratory potentials: Neuroscientists turn to rhythm for novel explanations of why our cognitive capacities are so limited; physicists use it to cross time and space; scholars in various fields turn to it to rethink materialism and affect theory. This lively collection considers why rhythm currently functions as a form of mediation between disciplines, across widely different scales and dimensions.
