O império Neoassírio (séculos IX-VII a.C.): a política religiosa frontal, a política religiosa tratativa e o mundo simbólico

Abstract

This monograph aims to adress a series of essential elements about Assyrian culture. These are the frontal religious policy, the symbolical world, the pactual religious policy and the Assyrian-Mesopotamian laws. Each item described has an extremely importante role for the cultural characterization of this civilization. Multifaceted, plural, complex, rich and many other terms that mean diversity and density. Our intention is to allow all the factors cited to be combined, for the reader to undestand how Mesopotamia, specifically Assyria conceived its universe. The reason for this is the need to expand our horizons beyond a unilateralist perspective. This concept is disseminated in many ways, for example, in school textbooks, always valuing warmongering discourse, violence, cruelty to the detriment of other equally important aspects. What needs to be watched carefully. A contrast needs to be developed between what is taught in school materials and the multiplicity of relevant information about the assyrians. Assyria needs to be known from a pluralist view, for which the production of didactic material is essential for teaching about this civilization. Easy to understand and with the various elements of the Assyrian world. Therefore, a substantial mission to deconstruct unilarealism. The time frame is limited between the IX and the VII century BC, named by scholars as the Neoassyrian period.
