Contrary to most readers who have emphasized the notions of passage or liminality, I demonstrate in this study that Van Gennep’s Rites de passage is articulated around the four notions of sequences, margins, passages, and schema. Subsequently, the main claim of this article is to propose the idea of social kinesis—or social rhythm—as the crux of Van Gennep’s theory. Such a fresh reappraisal of Van Gennep is also an opportunity to show how Pierre Bourdieu sought for social laws and regularities in a rather deterministic fashion, and completely overlooked Van Gennep’s idea of motion. More importantly, this article is an invitation to reconsider Van Gennep’s epistemological approach as a bridge between the social and the life sciences. Indeed, Van Gennep’s so-called méthode des séquences emerges from a dialogue between the social sciences and biology on the one hand, and with cosmology on the other. Indeed, I illuminate how Van Gennep investigated the enigmas of social life and dynamics within the framework of his understanding of metabolism and regenerative processes.

关于社会节奏：对范热内普的成年礼的重新评估

与大多数强调段落或界限概念的读者相反，我在这项研究中证明了范热内普的段落仪式是围绕序列、边缘、段落和图式这四个概念进行阐述的。随后，本文的主要主张是提出社会运动学或社会节律的思想，作为范热内普理论的关键。对范热内普的这种重新评价也是一个机会，可以展示皮埃尔·布尔迪厄如何以一种相当确定性的方式寻求社会规律和规律，而完全忽视了范热内普的运动思想。更重要的是，这篇文章邀请人们重新考虑 Van Gennep 的认识论方法作为社会科学和生命科学之间的桥梁。确实，Van Gennep 所谓的序列方法（methode des séquences）一方面来自于社会科学与生物学之间的对话，另一方面来自于与宇宙学之间的对话。事实上，我阐明了 Van Gennep 如何在他对新陈代谢和再生过程的理解框架内研究社会生活和动态的谜团。
