Description
Résumé:This article discusses the relationship between German and Scandinavian orientalists during theera of National Socialism. To begin with, the author examines the ideological and political intereststhat served to uphold oriental research in Nazi Germany. The article then continues with an inquiryinto why Nazi German authorities were especially keen to maintain scientific relationships withScandinavian orientalists during World War II. Traditionally, Scandinavian orientalists, manyof whom had studied at German universities, tended to feel strongly connected with GermanAcademia. Hence, the second part of the article considers the main reasons for the shift in attitudeof Scandinavian scholars to Germany and underlines the turning points in the relationship, which,in most cases, led to an alienation from Germany and their German colleagues. In the third and lastpart of the article, the author looks into the impact of the National Socialistic era on the scientificorientation of Scandinavian orientalists after World War II. With regard to the internationalleading role of Scandinavian Assyriology, particular attention will be paid to the history of thissub-discipline. As far as research perspectives are concerned, the article not only suggests futureresearch topics on the global history of oriental studies but also encourages comprehensive researchon the history of Scandinavian universities in the shadow of the Third Reich.
