千年文明史,百年亚述学

Thousand Years of Civilization in Century⁃Long Assyriology

从研究区域来看,亚述学并非研究伊拉克一国历史,其研究范围包括伊拉克和科威特全境,此外还包括土耳其、叙利亚、黎巴嫩和伊朗与其相邻地区;从研究内容来看,亚述学不仅仅研究古代两河文明的政治、经济和文化,同时也研究与周围文明的交流与交往,亚述学属于区域国别学的分支学科。在诞生和发展过程中,亚述学受到了欧洲中心论和殖民化影响,但学术性一直是其底色和根本。目前亚述学已有150余年的发展历史,全球有30多个国家200多个研究机构设立了亚述学学科。亚述学是一门国际性学科,目前正呈现出蓬勃发展、欣欣向荣的发展态势。

The present paper,reexamining the development of Assyriology,which should be a branch of regional study that has developed over 150 years and had over 200 research institutes in more than 30 countries,contends that Assyriology should not focus exclusively on the history of Iraq but on Iraq,Kuwait,and neighboring countries such as Türkiye,Syria,Lebanon and Iran and that it should research into Mesopotamia's politics,economy and culture of and its communication with other civilizations.
