Myth and Politics in Ancient Near Eastern Historiography

The essays included in this volume analyze important historical texts from various regions of the Ancient Near East. The distinguished Italian historian Mario Liverani suggests that these historiographical texts were of a "true" historical nature and that their literary forms achieved their intended results. Liverani focuses on two central themes in these texts: myth and politics.There is a close connection, Liverani finds, between the writing of history and the validation of political order and political action. History defines the correct role and behavior of political leaders, especially when they do not possess the validation provided by tradition. Historical texts, he discovers, are more often the tools for supporting change than for supporting stability.Liverani demonstrates that history writing in the Ancient Near East made frequent use of mythical patterns, wisdom motifs, and literary themes in order to fulfill its audience's cultural expectations. The resulting nonhistorical literary forms can mislead interpretation, but an analysis of these forms allows the texts' sociopolitical and communicative frameworks to emerge.

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar

In ancient traditions, Assyria was the first world empire in a series that continued with Persia, Macedonia, and Rome. After Rome, we imagine the series bifurcating into a Western trajectory (from Charlemagne to Napoleon and the Third Reich) and an Oriental trajectory (from the Parthians and Sasanians to the Abbasids until the modern Caliphate). Assyria, often overlooked or slighted by modern studies of empire, still maintains our interest because it provides an example of the “simple form” of empire and imperialism, before subsequent developments resulted in structures of greater complexity.Most important among basic features of “empire” is the “imperial mission”—the mandate given by the gods or God to the emperor to extend, through conquest or persuasion, annexation or hegemony, the only legitimate power of the central state to the entire (known) world. This accomplishment can only be ideological, since in practice no empire, ancient or modern, could actually conquer the world. Nonetheless, ancient empires could come closer to the target, because their known world, the mental map of their oikoumene, was limited to their close surroundings. Assyria, by bringing the most populated and civilized countries of its time (surrounded by mountains, seas, deserts) into submission came close to fulfilling its mission. In our modern, Western perspective, however, the term empire is usually applied to alien and despotic (mainly Oriental) polities, while we in the West prefer to belong to more democratic “alliances.”Nevertheless, ancient Assyria still retains its value as a prototype of the “empire of evil” against which democracy fights and must resist. This book outlines the basic features of Assyrian imperialism within the framework of the general development of the imperial idea, all the while insisting on noting comparative material.The intent is twofold: (1) to better understand Assyria through comparison with later empires, and (2) to underscore the relevance of the “Assyrian model” and its influence on later history. Although the first intention profits ancient historians, the second goal is addressed to modern and contemporary historians, who too often ignore (or at least disregard) the long historical background lying behind more recent developments. The world in general, in the present climate of globalization, deserves to be better informed about pre-modern and non-Western trajectories of world history.

Uruk: the First City is the first fully historical analysis of the origins of the city and of the state in southern Mesopotamia,the region providing the earliest evidence in world history related to these seminal developments. Contrasting his approach -- which has been influenced by V. Gordan Childe and by Marxist theorywith the neo-evolutionist ideas of (especially) American anthropological theory, the author argues that the innovations that took place during the Uruk period (most of the fourth millennium B.C.) were a true revolution that fundamentally changed all aspects of society and culture. This book is unique in its historical approach and its combination of archaeological and textual sources. It develops an argument that weaves together a vast amount of information and places it within a context of contemporary scholarly debates on such questions as the ancient economy and world systems.It explains the roots of these debates briefly without talking down to the reader. The book is accessible to a wider audience, while it also provides a cogent argument about the processes involved to the specialist in the field.

La historia del imperialismo comienza en Asiria. Tal es la tesis argumentada en este libro, que reconstruye la ideología imperial asiria, matriz de la organización política, administrativa, religiosa y cultural de uno de los reinos, luego imperio, más paradigmáticos de las civilizaciones mesopotámicas antiguas. No se trata de establecer ingenuos primados, sino de investigar las formas simples del imperialismo, de esa «misión imperial» que Asiria encarna de un modo más directo y explícito que las complejas y sofisticadas ideologías posteriores. El caso asirio puede contribuir así a una mejor comprensión del fenómeno histórico del imperialismo que, mediante el estudio comparativo de sus distintas formaciones, deduce ideas y problemáticas, parecidos y divergencias.

Cuando Europa comenzó a explorar el Próximo Oriente, las noticias sobre la región eran sumarias y hablaban sobre todo de un pasado legendario. Dos mitos en particular recogían los dos aspectos más llamativos del paisaje: la torre de Babel como metáfora de la ciudad y el jardín del Edén como metáfora del campo. Ambos se caracterizaban por un relato de crisis y colapso: la torre de Babel había quedado incompleta y abandonada, y el jardín del Edén había sido vedado a los humanos, obligados a migrar a entornos menos hospitalarios. Pero, en lugar de ciudades, los primeros europeos que viajaron al Próximo Oriente encontraron ruinas; en lugar de jardines, encontraron el desierto. Durante siglos, estudiosos e investigadores se han preguntado por la realidad histórica de este paisaje primigenio. Mario Liverani reconstruye en este libro la formación y la historia del «Paraíso terrenal». Su indagación, que surge del cruce entre distintas disciplinas como la historia antigua, la arqueología, la agricultura, la ecología o la paisajística, descubre al lector un paisaje geográfico y cultural de extraordinaria riqueza.
