Müzikal ötekileştirme, toplumdan dışlanmış bir toplumsal grubun müzikal anlatılarının inkâr edilmesidir. Müzikal ötekileştirme ve toplumsal ötekileştirme arasında sıkı bir bağıntı vardır. Müzikal ötekileştirme, toplumsal ötekileştirmeyi sürdürülebilir kılmaktadır. Müzikal ötekileştirmenin anlaşılabilmesi için üç ölçüt sıralanabilir. Birincisi ötekinin müzikal anlatıları üzerindeki sansür uygulamalarıdır. İkincisi, ötekine ait olan müzikal anlatıların olumsuz kavramlarla anılmasıdır. Üçüncüsü ise, ötekinin müzikal söylemlerindeki ötekileştirilme imgelerinin yoğunluğuna ve de ötekinin müzik icra ederken antropolojik olarak kendi değerlerine işaret eden dil ve enstrümanları kullanıp kullanmadığına bağlıdır. Bu üç ölçüt merkezinde bir siyahî müziği olan Blues müziğine bakıldığında Blues’un müzikal ötekileştirmenin nesnesi olduğu söylenebilir. Bu makalede; “müzikal ötekileştirme” olgusu kavramsallaştırılmaya çalışılacak ve bu kavramsal çerçeve üzerinden Blues müzikal anlatısı incelenecektir.

Öz

Musical
othering is the denial of the musical narrations of a social group which is
ostracized. There is a hard relation between musical othering and social
othering. Musical othering makes social othering sustainable. It can be sait
that There are three criterions to understand musical othering. First one is
the censorship policies on the musical narrations of the other. The second one
is that The musical narrations, belong to the other, are mentioned with
negative notions. The third one is based on those, the intensity of othering
images in the others’ musical narrations and is based on Whether the other
plays or does not play the instruments point to the others’ self values
anthropologically While the other is making music. When looked at Blues music,
as a black music, At the core of these three criterions, It can be said that
Blues music has been the object of musical othering. In this essay, It will be
tried to conceptualise the case of musical othering and on the basis of this
conceptual framework, It will be analysed the musical narration of Blues.
