Abstract: (901 Views)
IIn the country of Turkey, in the city of Hereke, at the end of the 19th century, rugs known as Mihrabi became popular, which were inspired by the rugs of the Safavid era and kept in the Topkapi Palace Museum. In these rugs, which are reproduced in royal workshops on a large scale, some changes have been made in the verbal text and incorporated visual elements. Among the rugs that seem to have had a great impact on the rugs of this period in terms of appearance, there is a rug from the Safavid era that is kept in the Topkapi Palace Museum. This rug has been reproduced in large numbers in Herke with slight changes in the verbal text and its visual elements. An example of this reproduction is the rug designed by "Zare". In the verbal text of the "Zare" rug, Persian words have a special place; also, the existing rug has a signature. Meanwhile the verbal text of the Safavid rug is in Arabic and has no signature. Since these rugs were woven in two different cultures and times, the question is: What role did the dominant discourse in the society play in the changes made in the verbal texts and visual signs in the reproduction of the rug kept in Topkapi Palace Museum? In order to achieve a suitable answer using the analytical-comparative method, the mentioned rugs were compared with each other in both periods and the dominant discourse was examined. According to the comparison, it was concluded that the rug of the Safavid era expressed the mystical thought of that period. Meanwhile, in its reproduction by "Zare "and its minor changes, attention has been paid more to the rug not as a handwoven product for conduct and worship, but as a product to express humanist and nationalistic ideas and to represent the golden age of the Ottoman Empire.
