For Baryon Tensor Posadas, the doppelganger functions not merely as a crafty aesthetic device, but as an actual conceptual practice mobilized by some of Japan's most important modern writers and filmmakers. --Eric Cazdyn, University of Toronto In Double Visions, Double Fictions, Baryon Tensor Posadas carefully traces the appearance and proliferation of the doppelganger in Japan across various cultural and intellectual domains, including literature, cinema, and psychoanalysis. In his masterful analysis, the doppelganger is not merely one figure among others, but rather, in its destabilizing effect on concepts of origin and imitation, one that highlights the core conflicts underlying modernity in Japan, including its fraught relation to the West and its emergence as a colonial power. --Seiji Lippit, author of Topographies of Japanese Modernism The doppelganger haunts, not only as a double but also through its multiple iterations. Approaching this uncanny figure as a form of a genre, Double Visions, Double Fictions takes us on an exciting intellectual adventure, tracing its recursions through various media forms and a broad span of historical periods in modern and contemporary Japan. --Tomiko Yoda, Harvard University Double Visions, Double Fictions is a truly fresh contribution to Japanese literary and film studies by way of an ingenious examination of the doppelganger.
