Arguing that the central concern of melodrama is not morality but suffering, this book offers an alternative conception of melodrama as an apparatus that shapes suffering and redistributes its visibility. </spMelodrama in motion picturesMelodrama on televisionMelodrama in motion pictures.Melodrama on television.792.2/7Zarzosa Agustín1970-1543980MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910779322803321Refiguring melodrama in film and television3797806UNINA
