Περίληψη: | Repetition has a major role in human culture. In lullabies and prayers, in protests and war
cries: from the cradle to the grave, repetition
is the companion to life’s essentials. In a
constantly revolving world there is no pure
repetition. Events never repeat themselves
precisely. This is equally true of repetition
in Literature and Art, where the use of
repetition is varied and frequent. How does
repetition work? And how can it be of use?
Déjà Vu unravels these questions in fifteen
chapters ranging from film remakes and
Baudelaire to the offer of Abraham and David
Lodge, Small World. Déjà Vu shows that
repetition has been used worldwide through
all times and cultures in visual arts, poetry,
music, literature and motion pictures.
