Part of the History Department's speaker series, this talk analyses how and why people wrote diaries that framed them as socialist citizens during the early years of the People's Republic of China. The series explores how texts and artefacts work as systems of signification and how they were produced, used, interpreted, and circulated within specific historical, political, religious, scientific, social, and legal contexts. Aaron Moore is a Lecturer in East Asian History at the University of Manchester. He is the author of Writing War: Soldiers Record the Japanese Empire (Harvard UP, 2013) and China in World War II, 1937-1945: Experience, Memory, and Legacy (Cambridge UP, 2011).
