Analysis of social corruption in the works of Sadegh Chobak
Naser Kehtari Bonab , Arash Moshfeghi (Author in Charge), Rahim Abdollahfam
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Sadegh Chubak, as one of the pioneers of naturalism in Iranian fiction, has always had a harsh and naked look at the lower layers of society. The main purpose of this research is to analyze the social corruption in Chobak"s works and explain the link between structural poverty, political tyranny and moral decay in his fictional bioworld. This study seeks to show how the author used the tool of naturalism to show the metamorphosis of humanity in the midst of Iran"s historical crises (1320-1345).
METHODOLOGY: This research was done with a descriptive-analytical approach based on the theoretical foundations of the naturalism school.
FINDINGS: The findings of the research show that in Chubak"s view, corruption is not an individual choice, but a product of "environmental determinism" and "structural poverty". Using naked language and "ugly aesthetics", he breaks down the wall of habit and chooses shock therapy as a strategy for raising awareness.
CONCLUSION: The results indicate that Chubak, by drawing examples of perverted subjugation and exposing corruption in religious and administrative guises, is trying to show the moral impasses of a society where survival instincts have prevailed over human virtues. Although his works are mixed with bitterness and blackness, this ugliness is actually a kind of literary surgery to expose the foci of social infection with the intention of reforming and awakening the collective conscience.
