Daniel Leese is Assistant Professor at the Institute of Chinese Studies at Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich. He is the editor of Brill's Encyclopedia of China (2008).
Mao Zedong's political and cultural legacy remains potent even in today's China. There have been many books that have explored his posthumous legacy, but none that has scrutinized the cult of Mao and the massive worship that was fostered around him at the height of his powers during the Cultural Revolution. This riveting book is the first to do so. By analyzing previously secret archival documents, obscure objects, and political pamphlets, Daniel Leese traces the tumultuous history of the cult within the Communist Party and at the grassroots level. The Party leadership's original intention was to develop a prominent brand symbol, which would compete with the nationalists' elevation of Chiang Kai-shek. They did not, however, anticipate that Mao would use this symbolic power to mobilize Chinese youth to rebel against party bureaucracy itself. The result was anarchy, and when the army was called in, it relied on mandatory rituals of worship, such as daily reading of the Little Red Book or performances of 'the loyalty dance', to restore order. Such fascinating detail sheds light not only on the personality cult of Mao, but also on hero-worship in other traditions.

藉標,看的是中譯本。
评分讀的中文版,有點失望。沒有想看的吉爾茲式的儀式、象徵物的深描,隻有布迪厄一類淺層次的分析。還有就是圖像資料的解讀分析太少瞭。比較啓發的是講“忠字舞”的自發性。文革小組反感錶忠行為,是因為這意味著每一個人都能藉此獲取符號資本。

评分理論的闡述實在沒有水平理解,但說到紅寶書,忠字舞,“早請示晚匯報”這些還是多少有些感性認識的。個人崇拜,用現在的話來說就是建立一個“人設”,而領袖的人設牢固與否則同外部資訊的衝擊産生直接對抗,從這一點藉古喻今,很能理解我們現在活在怎樣一個時代之下瞭。
