Abstract: (17 Views)
The exchange between humans and objects seems far-fetched; but throughout history, there has been an interaction between humans and non-humans. Humans have created artifacts due to their needs, and their creations have gradually given their characteristics to their lives. From this perspective, the importance of woven mats as a non-human network in shaping the lives of the people of Bafq is important; that is, functional woven mats are effective and meaningful components of the coherent whole of Bafq traditional culture and are understood as a key symbol in Bafq identity. The present study is a type of qualitative research that is classified as fundamental in terms of purpose and uses a descriptive-analytical method to study Bafgh woven mats based on their raw materials. The study samples include functional woven mats of Bafgh, including hat patterns, rice husks, various types of containers, and fans, all of which are woven in accordance with the Bafgh climate. The method of data collection was a library and field collection. The research tool in the library section is a file and in the field section, observations and interviews obtained from a research trip to the city of Bafgh. The classification of Bafgh woven mats has been a concern of some researchers and experts; But unfortunately, a coherent and methodical analysis has not been carried out. It seemed that specialized studies could be conducted from various perspectives, and one of them is the classification based on the fibrous components of the palm tree, which this article has addressed. No source similar to the approach adopted was found; but in some books, articles, and theses, brief and descriptive references to Bafq wickerwork have been made. However, despite repeated references in various sources to the raw material, weaving method, and the diversity and application of products, no documented source has been found that has studied the diversity of functional products based on palm fibers. Therefore, the present article, by classifying the fibrous components of the palm and then analyzing Bafgh wickerwork based on it, is considered a novel and innovative research.The result is that Bafgh wickerwork is the result of combining indigenous knowledge in product design and manufacturing and recognizing the basic needs of the people. Humans have created in interaction with the natural environment and based on the climate component, and ultimately, geographical features have caused the weaving of climatic wicker products, and throughout history, the characteristics of the weaves have been transferred to humans. Wicker weaves have gradually evolved and changed in exchange and trade with the people of Bafgh, and in the meantime, they have formed the layers of the bio-identity of the people of Bafgh. People have created and created wicker products based on their livelihood needs; that is, they have introduced wicker objects into their living environment. Gradually, wicker weaves have come to mean the material symbols of the spiritual and cultural part of the life of the people of Bafgh. By observing the containers that hold meat, curd, and dates, one can gain knowledge of the food system of the people of Bafgh. Even if there is a lack of written sources in the field of anthropology of Bafgh food culture, the weaves are considered material cultural heritage. The study of the texture of various ropes and cords, or in other words, the tools and manals, provides guidance on various traditional occupations of the region such as palm cultivation, digging aqueducts, and kariz. Based on the components of the palm tree, including pisk, moq, and sis, fine or coarse weaves are produced with various uses. The need for coarse and strong weaves such as sazu and kind of carpet emphasizes the importance of sis, which is necessary for the strength of the rope in the difficult occupations of palm cultivation, water supply, and digging aqueducts. The weaving, construction, and production of artifacts and objects in all regions of Iran have led to the definition of cultural concepts. Humans have created in order to meet their livelihood needs, and objects have gradually shaped their cultural environment.
