Critique of Rhythm
The four texts of this section are all taken from Meschonnic’s magnum opus Critique du rythme. Anthropologie historique du langage (Lagrasse: Verdier, 1982) in which he presented for the first time his overarching theory in a more systematic manner. The monograph lays out the main elements of his universe of thought, always with a clear focus on the key term of rhythm, which functions as the operator of subjectivity and historicity. Meschonnic positions himself against structuralism and as a critique of his time. The texts clarify Meschonnic’s understanding of the term ‘critique’ and what is a stake in his theory of rhythm. They exemplify his critique of metrics and of what he calls the thinking of the sign.
