This study compares representations of the body in socialist Eurasia, with a focus on Chinese-speaking countries, Russia, and Vietnam, to reveal the creation, contact, and transformation of national identity in the non-Western and socialist worlds using iconographic techniques.
In particular, the project focuses on non-literary materials such as propaganda posters related to wars and revolutions, monuments, and human body imitations, focusing on the body images of heroes, women, and the dead, and analyzes the transmission of socialist culture and the construction of historical memory in each region.
