طبقه‌بندی مجموعه ‌کارگان مرتبط با موسیقی کلاسیک ایرانی بر مبنای گفتمان‌های هویت در درون سنت مقالة

کارگان مرتبط با سنت موسیقی کلاسیک ایرانی، حاوی آثار موسیقایی متنوعی است که نسبت‌های‌ متفاوتی با ردیف به‌عنوان کارگان مرجع برقرار می‌کنند. طبقه‌بندی این مجموعه‌کارگان‌های مرتبط با سنت ایرانی برای تحقیق و پژوهش در خصوص جوانب گوناگون سنت موسیقایی امری ضروری به‌نظر می‌رسد. تحقیق حاضر می‌کوشد تا با معرفی جریان‌های معطوف به هویت در درون سنت، به چارچوب‌ها و مرزهایی برای دسته‌بندی کارگان‌های موسیقی ایرانی دست‌یافته و الگویی برای آن ترسیم کند. بنابراین، در مرحلۀ نخست، چگونگی پیدایش هویت به مثابه یک مسئله طرح خواهد شد. در این مرحله با استفاده از مفاهیم هویت مرجع، دیگری و گسترش ارتباط با دیگری، سازوکار شکل‌گیری هویت را به مثابه یک مسئله تحلیل می‌شود. در مرحلۀ دوم، گفتمان‌های معطوف به هویت در موسیقی ایرانی را با نگاهی استقرایی از طریق تبارشناسی نام‌گذاری‌های سنت موسیقایی بررسی می‌کند. اصطلاحات ملی، سنتی، دستگاهی و کلاسیک معمول‌ترین عناوین برای توصیف سنت موسیقایی هستند. به‌نظر می‌رسد یکی از شاخص‌ترین موقعیت‌ها برای بروز مسئلۀ هویت،‌ رواج و به‌کارگیری همین عناوین متعدد است. پس از معرفی ویژگی‌های این گفتمان‌ها، با استفاده از نتایج تحقیقی دیگر از همین نگارندگان با عنوان بازشناسی ویژگی‌های مرکزی موسیقی کلاسیک ایرانی به عنوان عناصر هویت‌ساز در این سنت، با استفاده از روشی قیاسی، الگویی هویت‌محور برای طبقه‌بندی کارگان‌های مرتبط با موسیقی ایرانی ارائه می‌شود.

The question of “identity” has been a critical problem in the context of Iranian musical tradition. A three step approach is used in this article in order to best address this important and pending issue. First, the authors identify how this problem is built in a society focusing on a musical culture. Secondly, the number and more specifically which discourses are formed around this issue are introduced and discussed. Lastly, the authors propose how to classify Iranian classical repertoire using these data. Initially it is important to explain the conditions of recognizing “identity” as a problem. It seems that reference identity, other’s identity, communication and information development are three critical components in forming the issue. The first refers to a society which has some specific characteristics. The second, “other’s identity” is a reference to a comparison of other cultures with different identity characteristics. In the 20th century, the most significant comparison of other’s identity is with the western culture. The third component has become effective since information technology is influencing cultures specifically in the second part of the 20th century. The second step is analysis of discourses about identity, is discussed through a genealogy of several expressions that are used for naming and explaining Iranian tradition, by different classes of opinions in the culture. The first expression is Melli (national) music. This thought of musical identity comes from an idea that tradition is closely related to national identity which is the conclusion of Alinaghi Vaziri’s school of thought. One of the most prominent characteristics of the discourse, is that it accepts some western musical values as a means to modernizing music. The second expression is Sonnati (Traditional) music which is focusing on a historical heritage as the main identical idea. Reference and the main source of authentication in this thought, is the Radif as classified repertoire of the Qajar era which is the central repertoire of the discourse. The third expression is Dastagahi music which is the name of traditional Iranian musical language. The importance of this expression is due to the specific musicological approach rather than nonmusical nomenclature from the previous categories mentioned. Its approach to the internal content of music is unique and significant in the tradition as a whole. The content of the music in these two last discourses are intergrade able. The last cornerstone expression is ‘Iranian classical music’. This is a music-based terminology and has been used frequently in the last 30 years. This expression tries to overcome the identity challenge by collecting various aspects of words that represent a comprehensive musical perspective. This expression has a wide and unified view about the identity of tradition; while representing its own ideal repertoire that is a continuation from the historical tradition of Iranian music. With reference from another research by the same authors: Recognition of Central Features as Characteristic Elements in Iranian Classical Music (2020), the classification of terminology and repertoire representation brings together the categories of Sonnati and Dastgahi whilst separating Melli repertoire as another genre and using ‘Iranian classical repertoire’ as a general term that represents all of these aforementioned categories. On the other hand, there is a repertoire that could not be classified as part of the Iranian classical context but it’s a part of western classical repertoire which apply some characteristic elements of Iranian music. They are referred to as Iranian-based (western) classical repertoire.
