Abstract

This study aims to explore the impact of ethnic music genres on individuals' sense of identity and belonging from a music sociology perspective. Using document analysis as the primary method, the research delves into the identity and belonging elements embedded in the music of specific ethnic groups. The findings reveal that ethnic music plays a central role in helping individuals and communities construct, preserve, and express their identities. This role is particularly significant in diaspora communities, where ethnic music serves as a critical mechanism for maintaining cultural identity and reinforcing the sense of belonging. These music genres are instrumental in keeping the historical and cultural memories of communities alive and transmitting this heritage to future generations. Moreover, ethnic music plays a vital role in social recognition processes, enabling communities to express their cultural identities to the outside world and facilitating the recognition of these identities within broader societal structures. The study highlights the dynamic and multifaceted nature of the relationship between music and identity, uncovering the profound impact of music on social structures. These results contribute valuable insights to the literature on music sociology and offer new theoretical approaches to better understand the connection between music and identity. In this context, the study underscores the significance of music in the processes of social identity and belonging, providing a foundation for future research in this field.

Özet

Bu araştırma, etnik müzik türlerinin bireylerin kimlik ve aidiyet duygusu üzerindeki etkilerini müzik sosyolojisi perspektifinden ele almayı hedeflemiştir. Doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılarak gerçekleştirilen bu çalışma, belirli etnik gruplara ait müziklerde yer alan kimlik ve aidiyet unsurlarını detaylı bir şekilde incelemektedir. Araştırmanın bulguları, etnik müziklerin bireylerin ve toplulukların kimliklerini inşa etmelerinde, bu kimlikleri korumalarında ve dış dünyaya karşı ifade etmelerinde merkezi bir rol oynadığını göstermektedir. Özellikle diaspora topluluklarında, etnik müziklerin kültürel kimliğin korunmasında ve aidiyet duygusunun pekiştirilmesinde kritik bir işlev üstlendiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu müzik türleri, toplulukların tarihsel ve kültürel hafızalarını canlı tutmakta ve bu hafızayı yeni nesillere aktarmada önemli bir araç olarak işlev görmektedir. Aynı zamanda, etnik müzikler toplumsal tanınma süreçlerinde de etkili bir rol oynamakta, bu müzikler aracılığıyla topluluklar kültürel kimliklerini dış dünyaya karşı ifade etmekte ve bu kimliğin toplumsal yapılar içinde tanınmasını sağlamaktadır. Araştırma, müzik ve kimlik arasındaki ilişkinin dinamik ve çok boyutlu doğasının altını çizmekte, müziğin toplumsal yapılar üzerindeki derin etkilerini ortaya koymaktadır. Bu sonuçlar, müzik sosyolojisi literatürüne değerli katkılar sunmakta ve müzik ile kimlik arasındaki ilişkiyi daha iyi anlamaya yönelik yeni teorik yaklaşımlara ışık tutmaktadır. Bu bağlamda çalışma, müziğin toplumsal kimlik ve aidiyet süreçlerindeki önemini açığa çıkararak, gelecekte yapılacak araştırmalar için bir temel oluşturmaktadır.
