	abstract = {<p>Modernity, as has often been observed, was fundamentally concerned with questions of temporality. The period around 1900, in particular, witnessed numerous efforts to define, discipline or {\textquoteright}liberate{\textquoteright} temporal experience. Within this broader framework of thinking about temporality, {\textquoteright}rhythm{\textquoteright} came to form the object of an intense and widespread preoccupation. Rhythmical research played a central role not only in the reconceptualization of human physiology and labour in the late nineteenth century, but also in the emergence of a new leisure culture in the early twentieth. The book traces the ways in which notions of {\textquoteright}rhythm{\textquoteright} were mobilized both to conceptualize modernity (narrate its origins and prescribe its directions) and, in particular, to forge a new understanding of temporal media that came to mark the mass-mediated experience of the 1920s: a conception of artistic media as mediators between the organic and the rational, the time of the body and that of the machine.</p>},
