Özet:

 Hüseyin Sadettin Arel, who is one of the leading actors and directors of the world of Turkish makam music, has created significant effects in his time and today with his scientific and artistic works in the field of music, publishing, education, management, system builder in the theory and teaching of Turkish makam music, and composer, and the Arel-Ezgi-Uzdilek System, which he theorized, has become a subject of criticism and discussion. This article aims to analyze the continuity of Arels theory, which constitutes an important turning point in the theory of Turkish makam music, in the fields of education and performance despite all the criticisms, within the framework of the factors related to the theoretical legitimacy ground and institutional structures that make this continuity possible. The scope of the study includes the analysis of the social and institutional mechanisms that ensure the continuity of this system, apart from the functionality of Arel theory. In this direction, the music circle formed around Arel, called Arelists, was associated with the conceptual framework that corresponds to the epistemic community in the sociology of science. Descriptive analysis based on qualitative approach was preferred as the research method. The data obtained as a result of the literature review were evaluated using Warren Olaf Hagstroms model of epistemic communities; it was analyzed how the interpersonal network established through the institutions where Arel worked, the journals he published and the students he trained maintained the power of Arel theory. As a result, it has been determined that the influence of Arels theory today is based not only on its theoretical competence but also on the continuity of the scientificepistemic community formed around it.

 Türk makam müziği dünyasının başat aktörlerinden ve yönlendiricilerinden biri olan Hüseyin Sadettin Arel, müzik alanında gerçekleştirdiği bilimsel ve sanatsal çalışmaları, yayıncılığı, eğitimciliği, yöneticiliği, Türk makam müziği kuramı ve öğretiminde sistem kuruculuğu, besteciliği ile yaşadığı dönemde ve günümüzde önemli etkiler yaratmış, kuramcısı olduğu Arel-Ezgi-Uzdilek Sistemi eleştiri ve tartışma konusu haline gelmiştir. Bu makale, Türk makam müziği kuramında önemli bir dönüm noktası teşkil eden Arel teorisinin, tüm eleştirilere rağmen eğitim-öğretim ve icra alanlarında günümüze dek devam eden sürekliliğini; bu sürekliliği mümkün kılan kuramsal meşruiyet zemini ve kurumsal yapılarla ilişkili etkenler çerçevesinde analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın kapsamı, Arel teorisinin işlevselliği dışında, bu sistemin sürekliliğini sağlayan sosyal ve kurumsal mekanizmaların analizini içermektedir. Bu doğrultuda, Arelin etrafında oluşan Arelciler olarak adlandırılan müzik çevresi, bilim sosyolojisinde epistemik cemaat şeklinde karşılık bulan kavramsal çerçeveyle ilişkilendirilmiştir. Araştırma yöntemi olarak nitel yaklaşıma dayalı betimsel analiz tercih edilmiştir. Literatür taraması sonucunda elde edilen veriler, Warren Olaf Hagstromun epistemik cemaatlere ilişkin modelinden yararlanılarak değerlendirilmiş; Arelin görev yaptığı kurumlar, yayımladığı dergiler ve yetiştirdiği öğrenciler üzerinden kurulan kişiler arası ağın, Arel teorisinin iktidarını nasıl sürdürdüğü analiz edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, Arel teorisinin günümüzdeki etkisinin yalnızca kuramsal yeterliliğine değil, çevresinde oluşan bilimselepistemik cemaatin devamlılığına dayandığı tespit edilmiştir.
