Resumo

The love of repetition is in truth the only happy love', wrote Søren Kierkegaard in 1843 in the guise of Constantin Constantius, describing his attempt to relive a love affair that was always-already lost (1964: 1).In this playful account, Kierkegaard proposes that life itself is a repetition.His pseudonymous character attempts to re-enact exactly the material conditions of a past love affair --including going to the same theatre in order to see the same performance, sitting in the same seat, etc. --but discovers that the only possible repetition is the repetition of impossibility.
