“…They argue that time scarcity may have particularly negative outcomes for the health of people who are both time and income poor. Although a significant body of work discusses timespace and geographies of temporality in a range of contexts (Massey, 2005;May and Thrift, 2001), few studies to date have examined the temporalities of young people's everyday lives (for exceptions, see Ansell et al, 2011;Kullman and Palludan, 2011;Robson, 2004). By analysing the time-space practices of sibling caregiving, this paper responds to Horton and Kraftl's (2006, p. 87) call to explore the mundane, everyday events, 'happenings' and ongoing practices in young people's lives in order to ''talk back'' to wider theorisations of ''performance, performativity, everydayness and practice''.…”

a b s t r a c tThis paper investigates the time-space practices of young people caring for their siblings in youthheaded households affected by AIDS in Tanzania and Uganda. Based on qualitative exploratory research with young people heading households, their siblings, NGO workers and community members, the article develops the notion of sibling 'caringscapes' to analyse young people's everyday practices and caring pathways through time and space. Participatory time-use data reveals that older siblings of both genders regularly undertake substantial caring tasks at the very high end of the caregiving continuum. Drawing on rhythmanalysis, the paper explores how young people negotiate emotional geographies and temporalities of caring. The competing rhythms of bodies, schooling, work and seasonal agricultural production can result in 'arrhythmia' and time scarcity, which has detrimental effects on young people's health, education, future employment prospects and mobility. Young people's lifecourse transitions are shaped to a large extent by their caring responsibilities, resulting in some young people remaining in a liminal position for considerable periods, unable to make 'successful' transitions to adulthood. Despite structural constraints, however, young people are able to exercise some autonomy over their caring pathways and lifecourse transitions. The research sheds light on the ways that individuals embody the practices, routines and rhythms of everyday life and exercise agency within highly restricted broader landscapes of care.

“…Arrhythmia is not necessarily a negative occurrence; a disruption of rhythm may create the conditions for a pleasant unusual event. Kullman and Palludan (2011) conducted an ethnographic rhythmanalysis of schoolchildren's journeys and give the example of snow falling as arrhythmia.…”

“…A contribution is made to existing research on young peoples’ behaviour in urban public space (Atkinson, 2003; Beneker et al., 2010; Malone, 2002; Massey, 2007, 2008; Matthews et al., 2000a, 2000b; Pain, 2001; Skelton, 2000; Valentine and Skelton, 1998) using participant observation methodology. With the exception of Kullman and Palludan (2011), rhythmanalysis has not been used to examine young peoples’ use of urban public space. Edensor and Holloway (2008) note that Lefebvre’s rhythmanalysis lacks extensive use as a means of investigating urban space.…”

This article uses participant observation data to explore teenagers’ presence in two urban public spaces in Manchester, England. The urban spaces under investigation are public, but surrounded by retail outlets and act as gateways for consumption. The aim is to answer the question ‘how do the rhythms of teenage life differ when ordinary and extraordinary activities occur in urban public spaces of consumption?’ Lefebvre’s Rhythmanalysis is employed to analyse the data and identify instances of eurhythmia (harmonious rhythms), arrhythmia (discordant rhythms) and polyrhythmia (multiple simultaneous rhythms) during periods of typical and extraordinary use. Ordinarily the teenagers used the spaces of consumption to mostly meet and socialise with friends with a small number of them using the space to skateboard. This occurred harmoniously alongside others who pass through these gateways to consumption indicating multiple rhythms. The findings indicate that the teenagers were displaced from urban space during the staging of official events which involved increased control from authorities such as the local council and police. They were replaced by a different crowd of people consisting of mostly families and adults. Paradoxically, the ‘festival’ atmosphere created by extraordinary events in the gateways of consumption resulted more interaction among those present despite increased control from the authorities. Rhythmanalysis proved useful in understanding of spaces when researching spaces of consumption, as it exposes the temporal and fluid nature of urban space. Ultimately, there was no room for the presence of regular users (teenagers) during the staging of extraordinary events indicating a lack of multiple rhythms.

“…Mens den lineaere tiden er knyttet til det organisatoriske nivået, er den rytmiske tiden knyttet til øyeblikkene og her og nå. Tid og sted er en del av det pedagogiske tidsrommet, med overganger og vekslinger mellom ulike steder som former for temporaere bevegelser (Kullman og Palludan 2011). Hvordan kan så begrepene tid/sted/kropp vaere utgangspunkt for å analysere kroppslig tilblivelse gjennom naturens elementer?…”

Artikkelen problematiserer hvordan jeg som forsker kan utvikle kunnskapsposisjoner som gir verdi tilbevegelser i kropper og gjenstander gjennom kroppslig tilblivelsesprosesser i barnehagen. Tilblivelsehandler om å tenke annerledes enn det jeg vanligvis gjør, idet jeg spør meg selv om det kroppslige idet hele tatt kan systematiseres og være gjenstand for representasjon. Jeg prøver ut en analysestrategisom tar utgangspunkt i en poststrukturalistisk/posthumanistisk metodologi der begrepene tempo, energi og affekt står sentralt. Analyser av bevegelser i kropper og gjenstander her eksemplifisert gjennomden materielle verden av blant annet vann, tårer, blader, sol, stoler og dører, åpner opp forkroppslige/materielle tilblivelser.
