Can I cite the same source many times in a row?

Yes, and it is normal when you are engaging closely with one work. If it starts to feel repetitive, that is often a sign the section is summarizing a source rather than making an argument that draws on it.

This comes up on In-Text Citations Explained, where it is answered in the context of the work itself.
