这些叙事场景以低浮雕的形式雕刻在装饰着公元前一千年宫殿的巨大石板上。美索不达米亚北部的亚述国王参与了亚述文化意识形态的建设，这种意识形态的部分基础是对文化差异的负面看法。本文认为，非亚述人的形象--为主要是亚述人、男性和精英的观众创作的--使用了一种视觉语言，将跨文化差异与文化内违规联系在一起。非亚述人被描绘成带有负面含义的姿势和手势；此外，这些表现积极地强化了亚述人的身份和权力结构。
The narrative scenes carved in low relief on the massive stone slabs that decorated the palaces of first-millennium b.c.e. Assyrian kings in northern Mesopotamia participated in the construction of an Assyrian cultural ideology that was based in part on a negative view of cultural difference. This essay suggests that images of non-Assyrian people—created for an audience that was largely Assyrian, male, and elite—use a visual language that identified intercultural difference with intracultural transgression. Non-Assyrians were depicted with postures and gestures that carried negative connotations; moreover, these representations positively reinforced Assyrian identity and power structures.
