A review and prospect of international studies on rhythmanalysis
Rhythmmanalysis,as an important theory in geographic research,has received extensive attention in the international academic community,but has not yet been fully emphasized in the Chinese academic community.This article first defined the connotation of Henri Lefebvre's concept of rhythm,and explained the theoretical connotation and inner connection of polyrhytmia,arrhythmia,eurhythmia,dressage,and isorhythmia in the theory of rhythm analysis;second,it systematically reviewed the rhythm research of the international geography community in the dimensions of the subject,the place,and the mobility.The article further discussed the deep insight of rhythm analysis in understanding the interactions between human activities and geographical space.Third,the article explored two theoretical perspectives of rhythm analysis—a localized time and a temporalized place—and explained the differences and connections between them in terms of research focus.Ultimately,rhythmanalysis,as a humanistic research method,pays attention to the comprehensive development of individuals,offering new theoretical perspectives and research methodologies for issues such as life rhythm,cultural rhythm,and ecological rhythm within the context of contemporary China.The article posits that the localization and modernization of the theory of rhythm analysis will provide a scientific guidance for the theoretical innovation of human geography practice in China,and is of great significance for promoting the sustainable development of society and the comprehensive development of human beings.
