Object principle of surrealist code (from surrealistic thing to object)
Abstract
The article considers the object principle, one of the principles-biases of the surrealist code of literature. During the 20th century under the influence of the code surrealism objectified, and there is a shift in emphasis from the surrealistic thing to the object. If an object enters into a metonymic relationship with a thing, it enters into a reverse connection with a subject: an object is an anticipation of the subject and not a projection as is the case with a thing. In fiction texts objectification carries out the synthesis of living and non-living, and code objectification is a synthesis of the imaginary and perceived. As a result of comparing the object principle with the latest trends in philosophy, it is concluded that the object orientation of the code deconstructs the essentialist installation of classical surrealism.
