Beschreibung
North Korea may be an extreme case where a modern state puts concerted efforts for the cult of its leaders and their family. This book attempts to delve into how the North Korean state has established the cult of the Kims, how it uses leader symbols in the cult, and the symbolic meanings that the leader symbol evokes. As such, it will be essential reading for students and scholars of North Korea, Korean politics, Asian politics, political sociology and visual politics.
