“…As Shaun Kingsley Malarney (2002: 63) shows that the Vietnamese Ministry of culture requested in 1975 that "all-new rites […] respond to the worthy psychological and sentimental demands of the mass." During this time, the religious specialists did not disappear but continued to worship secretly as shown by Kirsten Endres (2011) and Barley Norton (2002;2009) in the case of the Four Palaces. Like many other religious groups in Vietnam, the worship of the Four Palaces managed to survive.…”

In February 2020, Vietnam closed its borders to prevent the emergence of COVID-19 in the country. Nevertheless, after the appearance of the first large infected cluster in March 2020, the situation gradually deteriorated since July 2020. The Vietnamese government decided to ban gatherings, and therefore certain religious practices. The religions in the country had to adapt their practices to this new situation. In this article, I will explore the situation of the Four Palaces (Tứ Phủ) and its possession ritual (len đồng). After recalling the chronology of the outbreak of COVID-19 in Vietnam, I will highlight how this worship adapted its practices in the north of the country at the beginning of the pandemic and during the Vietnamese lockdowns. Moreover, I will draw a parallel to discuss the ban of the ritual practice during the COVID-19 pandemic and the prohibition of “superstitious practices” that occurred in Vietnam between the late 1950s and the 1990s. The article will stress the importance of social media, in particular Facebook, and their uses by the mediums and followers of the Four Palaces while exploring the discourses that can be seen within the social networks.

“…Ho Chi Minh was only referred to as President Ho Chi Minh in formal state documents, elsewhere, he was known to Vietnamese people as Uncle Ho (Norton 2002). Imbued with Confucius values, Vietnamese culture regards the family as the most important entity with a clear hierarchical order of respect and conduct on which the elderly rank highest.…”

How did the government of North Vietnam use propaganda posters during the Vietnam War (1955–1975) to rally Vietnamese people's support of its war efforts and successfully drive the Americans out of Vietnam? Through an interpretive analysis of the iconography and texts found in 141 posters, this study demonstrates four thematic appeals in Vietnamese posters during the Vietnam War: 1/ Emotional appeals (hate and sympathy; pride and indomitability); 2/ Social unity (dedication; allegiance and solidarity); 3/ Authority and leadership; and 4/ Idealized future. The study delivers fresh insights for research in social marketing, communication, art history, political science, and Asian studies.
