Abstract:

Cette recherche a pour but d'étudier et d'analyser le maqâm irakien et de le présenter comme la forme musicale-vocale la plus parfaite et la plus achevée du patrimoine musical irakien. Dans une première étape, elle expose: la définition du maqâm, son origine, ses circonstances sociales et la composition de ses concerts (fusul) et de son orchestre (al-djalghi al-baghdadi). Cet orchestre est composé d'un chanteur et de quatre musiciens-instrumentistes qui jouent respectivement de la cithare sur table, de la vièle à pique, du tambour-gobelet, du tambour sur cadre et des naqqara. . . Elle expose aussi les écoles des "maitres" du maqâm (les chanteurs et les musiciens), écoles qui couvrent six générations (1775-1985). Ensuite, nous avons analysé les tétracordes et les modes constitutifs de la musique arabe en général et la musique irakienne en particulier. Nous avons classé ces tétracordes en 3 groupes (diatonique, chromatique et enharmonique) et ces modes en six groupes (rast, bayat, nahawand, kurd, 'ajam et un groupe pour les modes "hors classification") cette analyse mélodique est complétée par l'analyse des rythmes qui accompagnent l'exécution du maqâm et celle des chansons complétives. Dans une dernière étape, nous avons analysé 6 maqamat principaux (rast, bayat, nahawand, saba, hujaz-diwan et 'awj) en nous basant sur 5 éléments fondamentaux (le mode, la succession des notes structurelles, le processus mélodique, la notation et les principaux types d'ornementation du chanteur). Nous y avons joint une liste analytique englobant tous les maqamat irakiens. Dans notre étude, nous avons présenté l'organisation mélodique et rythmique des maqamat irakiens en insistant sur le côté technique et non historique. Cette approche nous a permis d'aboutir, dans les trois derniers chapitres à l'analyse et à la classification, ci-dessus mentionnées, et qui constituent une nouvelle tentative analytique de la musique arabe en général et le maqâm irakien en particulier
This research aims at studying and analyzing the Iraqi maqam, and at presenting it as the most perfect, the most complete form in oral music of the musical heritage from Irak. In a first part, it sets out: the definition of the Iraqi maqam, its origin, its social background and the composition of its concerts and of its orchestra. This orchestra is composed of a singer and four musicians who respectively play the santur, the joza, the tabla, the riq and the naqqara. It also presents the schools of "masters" in Iraqi maqam (the singers and the musicians). Those schools developed for 6 generations (1775-1985). Then, we analyzed the tetrachords and the mods which are the constituent elements of Arab music as a whole and of Iraqi maqam in particular. We've classified these tetrachords in three groups (diatonic, chromatic and unharmonic) and these mods in six groups (rast, bayat, nahawand, kurd, 'ajam and one group for those out of classification). This melodic analysis is completed by that of the rhythms accompanying the performance of the Iraqi maqamat and that of the songs which complete them. In the last part, we've analyzed six main maqamat (rast, bayat, nahawand, saba, hujaz-diwan and 'awj); our analysis is founded on five basic elements (the mode, the successive constitutive notes, the melody process, the notation and the principal types of ornamentation of the singer). We joined an analytic list including all the Iraqi maqamat. In this study, we've presented the melodic and rhythmic organization of the Iraqi maqamat, laying the accent on the technical aspect of this music and not the historical one

Abstract:

L'objectif de cette recherche est d'etablir que les differents recits rapportes dans les maqamat d'al-hariri (1055-1122) forment une structure coherente dans laquelle la conversion finale d'abu zayd al-sarugi trouve place et sens. En effet, abu zayd, mendiant errant, ecornifleur, menteur et remarquablement eloquent passe de l'imposture a la mystique de facon jusqu'ici inexpliquee. Pour mettre en lumiere l'itineraire du personnage nous proposons une etude informatisee des trames radicale et lexicale de l'ouvrage et une analyse semiologique d'inspiration psychanalytique de quelques-uns de ses aspects (itineraires, mensonges, intemperance etc. )
The present work aims to demonstrate that the different stories recounted in the maqamat of al-hariri (1055-1122) form a coherent structure in which the final conversion of abu zayd al-sarugi finds its place and its meaning. Indeed, abu zayd, a wandering beggar, scrounger and particularly eloquent liar, moves from imposture to mysticism in a way hitherto unexplained. In order to bring the character's itinerary to light we offer here a computerized study of the radical and lexica texture of the book and a semiological, psychoanalytically oriented study of some of its aspects (itineraries, lies, intemperance etc. )

Abstract:

Repenting Roguery: Penance in the Spanish Picaresque Novel and the Arabic and Hebrew Maqāma, investigates the significance of conversion narratives and penitential elements in the Spanish picaresque novels Vida de Guzmán de Alfarache (1599 and 1604) by Mateo Alemán and El guitón Onofre (circa 1606) by Gregorio González as well as Juan Ruiz’s Libro de buen amor (1330 and 1343) and El lazarillo de Tormes (1554), the Arabic maqāmāt of al-Ḥarīrī of Basra (circa 1100), and Ibn al-Ashtarkūwī al-Saraqusṭī (1126-1138), and the Hebrew maqāmāt of Yehudah al-Ḥarizi (circa 1220) and Isaac Ibn Sahula (1281-1284). In exploring the ways in which Christian, Muslim, and Jewish authors from medieval and early modern Iberia represent the repentance of a rogue, my study not only sheds light on the important commonalities that these religious and literary traditions share, but also illuminates the particular questions that these picaresque and proto-picaresque texts raise within their respective religious, political and cultural milieux. The ambiguity that characterizes the conversion narrative of a seemingly irredeemable rogue, I argue, provides these medieval and early modern writers with an ideal framework to address pressing problems such as controversies regarding free will and predestination, the legitimacy of claims to religious and political authority, and the understanding of social and religious marginality.

Abstract:

L'étude est divisée en trois parties : La première partie est consacrée à un résumé historique de la Maqamat et de ses miniatures ainsi qu'un bref aperçu de l'art du livre arabe et de l'intérêt européen qu'il suscite. La deuxième partie présente les types de maisons trouvées suite aux fouilles archéologiques des sites de l'époque islamique. La troisième partie est consacrée aux différents types de maisons et d'aménagements intérieurs, décrits par les miniatures de Maqamat al Hariri
The purpose of this work is to study the shape of the houses at the end of the Abbasid period, after five illustrated manuscripts of the Maqamat al-Hariri, historically attributed to the last period of the reign of the Abbasids . The images are in miniatures, containing details of various parts of the house, we have exploited in an attempt to configure and visualize the shape of the house that dates back to this period. The study is divided into three parts. The first part is devoted to a historical summary of the Maqamat and miniatures, as well as a brief overview of the Arabic art of the book, and the European interest.The second part is devoted to types of houses found in the excavations of various Islamic archaeological sites. The third part is devoted to various forms and portions of the house, shown by the miniatures of the Maqamat of al Hariri

Abstract:

Six 7th/13th-century illustrated manuscripts of al-Hariri's Maqamat are the subject of this thesis. The Maqamat or 'Assemblies' are justly viewed, after the Qur'an itself, as 'the chief treasure of the Arabic tongue'. There is a terminus ad quem of 1310 for the London B.L. or 9718 manuscript, because its artist/scribe lived to eighty years of age, and the possibility exists that it properly belongs to the second half of the 7th/13th century. This is an interesting manuscript; unfortunately, its poor state precludes detailed study. The Maqamat comprise 50 tales of a gifted hero, Abu Zayd, who delights in duping his fellow men from all walks of life and in a variety of lands by masterly displays of erudition; they occur in the lawcourt, the governor's palace, the butling sug, the mosque, the city or in more rustic surroundings. It is proposed that the illustrations offer an unparalleled insight into the life of the period. Some 100 photographic reproductions from the 7th/13th-century manuscripts are included, the majority of them in colour. Individual illustrations appear in the body of the thesis, with a translation of the surrounding text in bold typeface; a further selection of miniatures is interspersed in the catalogues. The main reason for their choice was the desire to give as varied a selection as possible, and to reflect the actual material of the thesis.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis argues that Hamadhani's maqamas have been influenced by the poetry of the pre-Islamic era, in particular the rihla (journey) in the mu'allaqat (hung poems) and su'luk (brigand) poems. The literature of the maqama genre is well established, yet no single study has attested that a link between Hamadhani's maqamas and pre-Islamic poetry exists or substantiated that Hamadhani was conscious of the interconnections of the narrative within the qaslda construct.

Abstract:

Many cities in the developing world aspire to imitate cities of the West in their built form, since for them this represents ‘modernism’ and the future. Pakistan is a young country and the contribution of a new generation of architects and planners has been inspired by the west, in the post-modern traditions, and not informed by the local cultural, social and physical aspects of the society. Karachi, within Pakistan, has recently seen the construction of a number of buildings and urban design projects that conform to the international concepts of entrepreneurship and innovation, and are a response to the desire of politicians to create a global image for the city. Using the Urdu word maqamiat in relation to the built form, this research assesses what it means for a city to be local in the context of Karachi, being specific, having particular variables impacting the built form, but dealing with similar issues of identity crises as other formally colonized nations. A combination of deductive and inductive research approach that arches over mixed methods is used, in order to reveal the nature and value of maqamiat of built form. Semi structured interviews, focus groups, urban morphological documentation, archive review and personal observation methods have been used for data collecting. Content, narrative and focus group analyses are used to interpret data. The major conclusions point towards the meaning of space, as perceived by communities, is not always bound by physical form. The social attachment and usage of certain types of local spaces cannot be translated, either physically or linguistically, into other languages, and through the influence of foreign imported design language, significant aspect of maqamiat is lost in newer developments. The research postulates lessons from its study of local processes of built form production, the value given to local places by indigenous communities and the impact of global forces through imageability, aesthetics and style. The research identifies that urban anthropologists are better positioned to understand and explain maqamiat because of their cross-disciplinary approach to analysing the society, as compared to urban theorists. The research also identifies unique urban morphologies within the context, which point towards the requirement to develop research and literature related to the local and global interactions and the emerging built form typologies. The research findings can feed into the design profession through policy aimed towards ‘responsive’ urban design.

Vandegraaff, Stuart. "The Tārāb Saxophone - The development of a comprehensive culturally informed approach to the performance on the saxophone of music derived from Arabic maqāmāt." Thesis, The University of Sydney, 2018. http://hdl.handle.net/2123/18567.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis details the synthesis of Arabic music performance practices with the idiolect of a non-Arab Australian saxophonist. The process is guided by principles inferred from tārāb, a phenomenon that encapsulates theoretical, technical and expressive information peculiar to the idiom. A retraining method based on conceptualisation, replication, activation and incorporation is applied. A robust theoretical, contextual, aesthetic and kinaesthetic conception is developed by accumulation of performance skills on the Arabic nāy (flute). Aural skills are redefined and systematically enhanced to accurately perceive and produce microtones intrinsic to Arabic maqāmāt (modes). The study demonstrates how this information is transferred by analogy to the saxophone, requiring a detailed investigation of the instrument in the development of a 24-tone chromatic technical approach, including a hierarchy of preferential fingerings. A range of saxophones are tested to ensure transferability of solutions, and limitations are defined and discussed. Contextual technical and kinaesthetic retraining relevant to performance of maqāmāt on saxophone is achieved through a process of development of drills, including idiomatic trills, melisma and ornaments, repertoire extracts and extensive transcription. This process enables a culturally informed and comprehensive performance approach to Arabic-maqām derived music, including traditional repertoire and contemporary intercultural performance practice. Skill sets derived from functional performance aspects of tārāb are used to enhance, direct and inform improvisation and composition practice, within and beyond the Arabic music context.

Full text

Abstract:

This essay examines tarab, an Arab musical tradition deeply rooted in the Near East region, and evaluated by listeners based on its emotional effect. Tarab culture has been influenced by westernization, forces of globalization, postcolonial nationalism, and modernism since the early 20th-century, which significantly changed the face of this musical culture by the end of the century. The main focus of this essay is discussing the cumulative effects of tarab’s musical and non-musical elements that together produce the emotional transformation experienced by the performers and the listeners. To understand that emotional transformation, the relevant aspects of music psychology and philosophy to tarab music are discussed through a number of findings, such as musical expressiveness through the aesthetic surface, anticipatory arousal which results from familiarity and knowledge, the aesthetic appeal of unpleasant emotions such as sadness, openness to experience and aesthetic appreciation that indicates sensitivity to art and beauty, empathetic and sympathetic engagement with the persona imagined in the music, and dissociation from ordinary consciousness and absorption in the musical experience.

Abstract:

Forty songs are randomly selected from four randomly selected maqams. Songs are restricted to be in sofyan usü
l (sofyan rhythmic form) to check the statistical significance. Next, fractal dimensions of the these songs are calculated by using two different method and two different scattering diagrams. In the first method, fractal dimensions are calculated via two different box sizes. As for second method, successively decreased box sizes are used. In addition, standard deviation and mean values of the fractal dimensions are calculated to check the relation between fractal dimension and maqam. T test and F test are applied to check the statistical significance. After these calculations, it is verified that fractal dimension can be used as an information source concerning the Turkish art music songs which are nonlinear dynamical systems. Moreover, it is showed that maqams can have their own fractal dimension for low resolutions. On the other hand, it is seen that for high resolutions all songs have almost same fractal dimension.

Abstract:

L’examen de différentes formes d’expression vocales et instrumentales kurdes d'Iran et d'Irak, liées à quatre dialectes, permet de dégager un idiom commun de la musique traditionnelle kurde, avec sa grammaire modale et rythmique. Cette recherche s'appuie sur des enquêtes dans les régions kurdes d’Iran et d’Irak et sur la collecte d'une centaine d'heures d’enregistrements de mélodies vocales et instrumentales. Elle prend en compte la diversité linguistique et religieuse ainsi que la place de la musique, de la poésie, de la danse et des instruments et fait apparaître une certaine unité au-delà de la diversité des formes
The study of the various types of Iranian and Iraki Kurdish vocal and instrumental types of expression, associated to four forms of language, enables to delinate the commonalities within traditional Kurdish music, its rythms and modes. The research is based on detailed investigations performed on-site in Kurdish speaking regions of Iran and Irak as well as on more than hundred hours of recordings. Beyond the large diversity of expression resulting from linguistic and religious diversity, local specificies in the use of instruments and from the different roles played by poetry and dance in musical expression, the study eventually reveals the common roots of Kurdish music

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis examines ideas about old age in four anecdotes and their illustrations from the 1334 illustrated Mamluk volume of al-Hariri's (1054-1122) Maqamat in the context of early (1250-1382) Mamluk society. The Maqamat contains fifty short anecdotes with a common plot format and two main characters. In each anecdote, the narrator al-Harith relates an adventure of the hero Abu Zayd, an elderly beggar who travels throughout the medieval Islamic Middle East. Using his talent as an orator, Abu Zayd draws people together in a public place, performs an eloquent speech, and is rewarded with money and goods. Ideas about the status of old age in Muslim society originate in the Qur 'an and hadith. Attitudes about the elderly are expressed in other selected texts and in painting (frescoes and manuscript illustration). In the 1334 Mamluk volume, Maqamat illustrations either enhance the text or function independently of the text. Images portray old age as a vehicle for the transmission of knowledge and authority in the social roles of literary scholar, judge, religious leader, and teacher.
