The Concept of the Objective Correlative

For T.S. Eliot, the location of emotion in poetry cannot be within the poem itself. It may exist in the poet and the reader, but never in the poem. How, then, can we transmit emotion to the reader without placing it directly in the poem? The answer lies in the objective correlative. According to Eliot, this is the only way to convey emotion while maintaining the principle of impersonality in poetry.

The Process of the Objective Correlative

The process functions as follows: the poet experiences an emotion and wishes for the reader to share it, yet cannot express it directly. The solution is to replace the emotion with an object—the objective correlative—and hope that when the reader encounters this object,...

On a background of deep blue and golden clouds, showing the joy and laxity that wine produces, affecting both the old man sleeping on the hill and the young man who is in the foreground, and inspiring the joy to drink and dance in the core group. The reclining woman at the forefront of the center of the canvas is said to be Violante, with whom the painter was in love then. At her side, a musical score reads: "He who drinks and drinks again knows not what it is not to drink."...

Antonio Machado's poetry is characterized by a simple, anti-rhetorical style, primarily exploring themes of anxiety, melancholy, and the socio-political situation of Spain.

Education and Influences

Machado studied at the Free Institution of Teaching, a prominent educational movement in Spain inspired by Krausismo. This institution played a crucial role in educational reform by championing academic freedom and rejecting religious, political, or moral dogma in its teaching methods.

Imagism, Vorticism, and the Modernist Movement

The differences between Imagism and Vorticism lie in their status as concrete, specific artistic movements in early 20th-century England. Modernism, by contrast, is a broad umbrella term. It refers to the collective movements—such as Vorticism, Imagism, and Cubism—that sought to dismantle Victorian and 19th-century modes of thought.

To differentiate these concepts:

• Ad Hoc Nature: Imagism and Vorticism were created for specific purposes with defined rules.
• Individualism: The authors involved possessed strong, often arrogant personalities and would have rejected the collective label of "Modernist."
• Retrospective Labeling: The term "Modernism" is only applicable when viewed retrospectively.

The Importance of Images in Multimodal Texts

The image that appears in multimodal texts is a very important element. A photograph, for instance of a [specific subject, e.g., woman], is often used to bring a sense of immediacy and reality to the text, fostering interaction with the reader. This image might be very large and highlighted prominently, perhaps on the left side. The subject depicted often provides or reflects [specific meaning or emotion].

Information Value and Reading Path

We typically read information value from left to right and from top to bottom.
