Notes on Repetition

Once again in the form of notes with short comments, the article reinterpretsthe Warburgian figures of distancing (Entfernung) – the Greifmensch,the Denkmensch, the Künstler – as figures of germination and repetition,to find them again in iconology and the phenomenology of the light spot.The passages – repetition of the myth, repetition of color, repetition of thedrawing of a line, repetition of the image – have their vanishing point inKierkegaard's germinating figure of Gjentagelsen.
