Actually, my colleague Maureen Turim has a short essay on Martin Arnold's "pièce touchée." I don't remember it being couched in terms of a theory of the loop, but if you're interested in taking a look, send me an email off list, and I'm sure I could get her to send you an electronic copy. (The published version was, I think, in a Sixpack Film publication that may be hard to track down.)

Search for PDFs or reviews of his work via Google. You may find some gems if you dig a little.

Of course, one of the ways cinema got its start was in showcasing simple looped images, but I'm particularly interested in its role in avant-garde film, expanded cinema, video art, etc. Articles about repetition as a technique would be of interest too, though those are a bit easier to come by.
