Abstract

Tribal rugs in Fars province are the most significant tribal products in Iran, and their traditional dyeing and use of natural dyes form their competitive advantage. The phenomenon of industrialization had significant impacts on the technical aspects of tribal rugs in the province due to the influence of the industrial community and the development of technologies for the production of tribal rugs. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate and unravel the effects of technological developments on changes in the dyeing of tribal rugs' yarn in Fars Province. Due to the importance of shifting the dyeing method from the traditional approach to mechanized industrial ones, the study first focused on traditional dyeing by tribes in the province. Then it introduced and investigated the effects and consequences of that shift on tribal rugs. The results showed that, over the past few decades, factors such as sedentariness and the effects of the industrial and mechanical lifestyles on the lives of the tribes made the latter follow the industrialization and mechanization of dyeing. The effects and representations of industrial society included importing chemical dyes, the prevalence of chemical dyeing, and an increase in mechanized industrial dyeing workshops. At the same time that the industrial method facilitates the dyeing process, it makes technology dominate human thinking. It destroys the identity and originality of the solitary and unique tribal rugs.
