Considers the possibilities of repetition - to order, to interrogate, to produce, to reveal, to obfuscate, and to change. As an underlying principle of the industrial age, repetition has informed and organized much of the modern world. The disciplines of music, literature, art, economics, manufacturing, trade, politics, and history (to name only the most obvious) have all been affected by the instrumental power of repetition. Repetition is concerned with the formal (serial, anti-compositional, emergent), the socio-political (productive, ordered, egalitarian, totalitarian), the temporal (cyclical, psychological, historical, evolutionary), and the semiotic (structural, indexical, symbolism). Repetition is fundamentally boring and profound, containing the paradoxical capacity to produce both "more of the same" and radical difference. no pagination.
