Publisher Description:
Dans une confrontation in dite des approches francophones et anglo-saxonnes sign es par des experts internationalement reconnus aussi bien que par de jeunes chercheurs, Le m lodrame filmique revisit propose d'ouvrir le champ d' tudes vers de nouvelles perspectives historiques et esth tiques. En effet, le m lodrame souffre, depuis ses d buts cin matographiques, d'une exploitation p jorative qui restreint le mode m lodramatique la manipulation des motions du public et une representation excessive sur le plan esth tique. Minimis , exp di , ce genre m rite pourtant d' tre enfin l'objet d'une revalorisation travers des approaches innovantes et un corpus largi la t l vision, l'animation et l'internet.
Revisiting Film Melodrama brings forth pioneering French and English-speaking approaches from internationally known experts as well as by young researchers, aiming to broaden the research area through new historical and aesthetic perspectives. Indeed, film melodrama has too often been under-estimated, most surveys having essentially focused on the audience's emotions and on excessive representations, often neglecting the complexities of the melodramatic mode . More than ever, melodrama as film genre requires a comprehensive, multi-layered re-appraisal which includes references to the genre at work on television, animation and the internet.
