Ideology is delineated here as a subdiscourse of religion rather than as an independent category, anchoring it firmly within the religious world view. Tracing Assur's cultural interaction with the south on the one hand, and with the Syro-Anatolian horizon on the other, this volume articulates a "northern" cultural discourse that, even while interacting with southern Mesopotamian tradition, managed to maintain its own identity. It also follows the development of tropes and iconic images from the first city state of Uruk and their mouvance between myth, image, and royal inscription, historiography and myth, and myth and ritual, suggesting that, with the help of scholars, key royal figures were responsible for introducing new directions for the ideological discourse and for promoting new forms of historiography. 410 0$aStudies in Ancient Near Eastern Records (SANER) 606 $aIdeology$zAssyria 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aIdeology 676 $a950 686 $aBE 6402$2rvk 700 $aPongratz-Leisten$b Beate$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0995694 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464457903321 996 $aReligion and Ideology in Assyria$92420838 997 $aUNINA
