| Abstract | The brick was an indispensable contributor to the construction of Mao-era China. Although the privileging of steel and concrete production as part of the state’s promotion of large-scale, heavy industrial development has ensured the central position of these materials in Chinese Communist Party (CCP) history, the brick was active in aiding the materialization of an everyday socialist modernity in China.
In considering the brick’s multivalence to the construction of socialism in China, this paper pays particular attention to its operational and representational agency—its ability to perform a fundamental material and structural service while simultaneously embodying new environments realized through the localized work and production processes considered essential to the Party’s raison d’être. |
