Double Visions, Double Fictions analyzes the myriad manifestations of the dopplegänger in Japanese literary and cinematic texts at two historical junctures: the interwar period of the 1920s and 1930s and the present day. From psychoanalytic theory to Japanese detective fiction, Baryon Tensor Posadas reveals how the dopplegänger motif provides a fascinating new backdrop for understanding the enmeshment of past and present.
