Abstract: (111 Views)
Baluch are one of the ancient and well-known Iranian ethnic groups, whose social structure is often tribal and familial. They live in the eastern and south-eastern regions of Iran. Carpets are one of the most important traditional products among some Baluch tribes and is mostly woven by women. Inspired by their environment and in accordance with the social and cultural conditions of the society, female carpet weavers leave an impact on the carpets. Social researchers believe that art always shows signs of culture and traditions of the producers, and by studying and analyzing these signs, much information about the society can be obtained.
The main concern of the current research is the uncertainty of women’s portrayal in the thematic and visual structure of Baluchi carpets. Therefore, the main question of the research is: How does women’s role reflect in the visual and thematic structure of Baluchi carpets? The purpose of the research is to identify the role of women as the main creators of Baluchi carpets, in forming technical and visual elements and themes revolving around the carpets. To achieve this, the research was carried out using data from library sources and field interviews with 3 Baluch carpet experts under a descriptive and analytical method.
Regarding how the data was analyzed, the research is of a qualitative type and was carried out by analyzing 22 samples of Baluchi carpets that were selected using a targeted sampling method. The results indicate that the role and presence of women in thematic and visual structures of Baluchi carpets can be classified and studied in three distinct areas: A: Naming the carpets by female names, B: Naming patterns by female names, and C: Representation of women in the form of female patterns in the carpets.
