<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Kojin Karatani wrote the essays in History and Repetition during a time of radical historical change, triggered by the collapse of the Cold War and the death of the Showa emperor in 1989. Reading Karl Marx in an original way, Karatani developed a theory of history based on the repetitive cycle of crises attending the expansion and transformation of capital. His work led to a rigorous analysis of political, economic, and literary forms of representation that recast historical events as a series of repeated forms forged in the transitional moments of global capitalism.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[The essays] are not for beginners, but will intrigue, challenge, and inform students of modern Japanese intellectual history and cultural studies, ..
