Description

Repetition is constitutive of human life. Both the species and the individual develop through repetition.

Unlike simple recall, repetition is permeated by the past and the present and is oriented toward the future.

Repetition of central actions and events plays an important role in the lives of individuals and the life of society.

It helps to create meaning and memory. Because repetition is a central aspect of human life, it plays a role in all social and cultural spheres.

It is important for several branches of the humanities and social studies.

This book presents studies of an array of repetitive phenomena and to show that repetition analysis is opening up a new field of study within single disciplines and interdisciplinary research.

Recommended for scholars of literature, music, culture, and communication.
