چکیده

هنر ایران همواره مورد توجه محققان غربی بوده و انقلاب اسلامی به ­واسطه رویکردهای خاص فرهنگی، این اقبال را شدت بخشیده است. مقاله حاضر به شناسایی مضامین شاخص در پژوهش ­هایی از کشورهای امریکا، انگلستان، فرانسه و آلمان می ­پردازد که هنرهای تجسمی پساانقلاب را مورد مطالعه قرار داده ­اند. تاکنون تحقیق جامعی در این ­باره صورت نپذیرفته و آثار موجود بیشتر بر سیر تحول مطالعات هنر معاصر از دیدگاه تاریخی تمرکز داشته ­اند. تحقیق حاضر از لحاظ روش، توصیفی-­تحلیلی است و با واکاوی 50 متن به شیوه فراترکیب، درصدد پاسخ به این پرسش است که مضامین فراگیر در این متون کدامند؟ اگرچه تحقیق استقرایی بر پیش­فرضی استوار نیست، اما از آنجاکه مطالعات هنر معاصر عموماً متأثر از چالش‌های انسان در جهان جدید است، انتظار می­ رود مضامین اصلی این متون نیز با چالش ­های تجربه هنری در جهان معاصر پیوندی وثیق داشته باشند. یافته ­های پژوهش تا حد زیادی این انتظار را برآورده ساخته و مطالعات انجام­ گرفته بر چهار مضمون هویت (هویت بازنمودشده در آثار هنری و هویت هنرمند)، معاصریت (تعلق و خاص ­بودگی فرهنگی)، ایدئولوژی (آرمان‌خواهی و مشروعیت ­بخشی به قدرت) و جنسیت (بدن به­ عنوان خاستگاه منش فردی و پوشش به­ عنوان بستری برای بروز این منش) تمرکز دارند. نظر به نقش محوری تبادل بینافرهنگی در ترسیم راهبردهای کارکردی هنر و ضرورت شناخت رویکرد مطالعاتی غرب برای ترسیم خطوط کلی این تبادلات، نتایج این تحقیق برای جامعه هنری، مدیران و سیاست­ گذاران هنری شایان توجه است.

چکیده [English]

Iranian art has always fascinated Western researchers, and the Islamic revolution attracted growing attention due to its distinct cultural attitudes. This article investigates major themes in post-revolutionary Iranian visual art studies from the United State of America, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany. There is no comprehensive research in this direction as the existing literature mainly concentrates on historical trends in contemporary art studies. The methodology of this research is descriptive-analytic, in which 50 selected texts (including book chapters, articles, and doctoral or master theses) are analyzed using meta-synthesis to see whether there are dominant themes in these texts. Though inductive researches have no presumption, as current art studies address the challenges of living in the modern world, themes of these studies are expected to be linked to complications of contemporary art practice. The findings of this research confirmed this assumption and revealed that the studies are focused on four major themes including identity, contemporaneity, ideology, and gender. Due to the crucial role of cross-cultural exchanges in the delineation of strategic functions of art and the exigency of recognition of western views to track these exchanges, the results of this research are significant for the art community as well as policymakers in the artistic arena. In particular, in the context of continuous and constructive communication between domestic artists and researchers of contemporary Iranian art abroad, it may be possible to use the resources of Iranian-Islamic culture to answer the questions arising from the identity crisis in the contemporary world, and while ensuring the contemporaneity of Iranian artists, avoid relying on the desired stereotypes of the colonial system.
