A community where everyone lives according to their own rhythm, and yet respects the individual rhythms of others? In a thought-provoking and original, interdisciplinary approach to questions of conviviality, the contributions of this anthology respond to Roland Barthes' 1977 lecture series on the subject of How to Live Together at the Collège de France in Paris and explore Barthes' utopia of idiorrhytmic life forms in literature, arts and other media.
