Investigation the Religius influence of Iranian on ancient chineese culture an‎d civilization

تاريخ

The present study aims to analyze the iconography an‎d iconology of captivity, punishment an‎d torture in the art an‎d visual documents of ancient assyria. In the assyrian period, the representation of violence was not merely a decorative motif, but a constituent part of the pilitical language of the imperial state, possessing its own symbolic system. Accordingly, the images preserved on reliefs, cylinder seals, an‎d bronze ban‎ds constitute a readable visual discourse that justified an‎d reproduced assyrian royal ideology. In this study, through a semiotic-iconological analytical method (drawing upon Panofsky an‎d adapted to the context of ancient near East), the following objectives are pursued: fiest, to identify recurrent patterns of representing captivity, punishment an‎d torture; second, to ectract the semantic structures underlying these representations; an‎d the third, to analyze the relationship between these images an‎d the politics of display / visual media of assyrian power. The intial findings indicate that, in assyria, visualized violence functioned as a sign-making strategy that was deliberately systematized, stan‎dardized an‎d rendered “readable” to the audiences of its time. In such a way that the interpretation of the image was itself part of the exercise of power. Thus, it may be argued that the iconography of captivity, punishment an‎d torture in assyria was a medium for consolidating political an‎d conceptual hegemony, an‎d that aesthetic treatment served ideology rather that being independent from it.
