This study is an attempt to induce understanding of the modern Tarr (1918), his humorous novel Snooty Baronet (1932), his social satire The VulgarStreak (1941) and his autobiographical work of fiction Self-Condemned (1954). American Resource Theory of social exchange by Uriel G. Foa is the sociological framework proposed to explore the idiosyncratic relationship that exists between the interpersonal behaviour and resource exchanges of Lewis' main characters in these four creative worlds. In this regard, our analysis follows the results of various hypotheses proposed by Foa, which were tested in laboratory experiments and field studies. In order to describe their impact on the attitude and social encounters of Lewis' main dramatis personae.
Lewis portrays the wrong ways in which economic and non-economic resources intertwine in modern Western society by experimenting with the English language in radical ways. For this reason, we attempt to clarify, first, the trends of behaviour and relations whose distorted form and nature respond to his aesthetic desire to show and questionm contemporary social phenomena by using unconventional satirical techniques; and second, to call attention to the specific resource seeking related events whose peculiar appearance and outcome respond to the view of the world and of human relationships of Lewis exclusively. In our view, these four fictional worlds are skewed in form and significance due to the imperative desire of the artist to reflect the ways in which contemporary technological, scientific, political, economic and social doctrines influenced the rules of practice that governed interpersonal behaviour and relationships both in particularistic institutions such as family, love and friendship and in non-particularistic ones like employment, stores, restaurants and hotels in the modern Western world by turning out them to be very dehumanised in form and significance. For all these reasons, we do believe that his fiction constitutes a very valuable example of the fact that Lewis is as much a fascinating writer as a tremendously perceptive social critic. |

Foa es el marco sociológico propuesto para explorar la relación idiosincrásica que existe entre el comportamiento interpersonal y los intercambios de recursos en estos cuatro mundos imaginarios. Para ello, aplicamos los resultados que se desprenden de las hipótesis de Foa con el fin de describir su impacto en la actitud y los encuentros sociales de los personajes principales de Lewis que habitan estas cuatro novelas. De esta forma, intentamos descubrir la estructura básica de sus relaciones interpersonales y arrojar luz nueva sobre los numerosos aspectos sociológicos y psicológicos que se derivan de estas relaciones. En nuestra opinión, Lewis refleja las formas erróneas en que los recursos económicos y no económicos se entrecruzaban en la sociedad occidental moderna mediante la experimentación artística radical. Por eso, nuestro objetivo es aclarar, en primer lugar, los códigos de práctica y contactos sociales cuya forma y naturaleza distorsionadas responde a su deseo estético por mostrar y poner en cuestión fenómenos sociales contemporáneos con técnicas poco convencionales; y en segundo lugar, llamar la atención sobre la forma y desenlace peculiar de ciertos acontecimientos sociales relacionados con la búsqueda de algunos recursos específicos protagonizados por algunos personajes que responden únicamente a la idiosincrasia de Lewis. De este modo, tratamos de demostrar que estos cuatro mundos imaginarios de Lewis están desfigurados debido a su deseo por reflejar los modos en que los nuevos sistemas de pensamiento que surgieron a principios del siglo XX deshumanizaron los códigos de práctica que gobernaban el comportamiento y las relaciones interpersonales de los ciudadanos occidentales en ámbitos particulares como la familia, el amor y la amistad, y en contextos menos íntimos como el trabajo, los grandes almacenes, los restaurantes y los hoteles en el mundo occidental moderno. En consecuencia, proponemos que las cuatro novelas de Lewis representan contribuciones enormemente valiosas para los estudios culturales del siglo veinte, ya que todas ellas son innovadoras y energéticas, y reflejan que es tanto un escritor fascinante como un crítico social tremendamente perceptivo.Universidad de La Rioja (España)Cunchillos Jaime, Carmelo (Universidad de La Rioja)2001text (thesis)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaites?codigo=56(Tesis) ISBN 84-688-4671-6 spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
