I15-R206-article-7072025-11-25T22:12:10Z The invention of melodrama: fold, resentment and translation in Juan Moreira La invención melodramática: pliegue, rencor y traducción en Juan Moreira Bonato, Rolando Javier Literatura Melodrama Traducción Juan Moreira Literature Melodrama Translation Juan Moreira This article analyzes the hypotheses around the origin of melodrama and its projection towards the end of the 19th century and the 20th century. As heir to the cultural impact of the French Revolution and Italian opera, melodrama knew how to link modern tragedy with procedures anchored in other genres such as hyperbole, climax, grotesque and imperatives for justice and human suffering. It is about especially highlighting the link between melodrama and the development of techné as a support from which it has been projected: serials, radio drama and cinema. The work also analyzes the series of aesthetic formations that have taken as a source the figure of Juan Moreira as a prominent character of the nineteenth-century popular culture of Argentina, and an unequivocal expression of the violence of the State towards the subaltern. Este artículo analiza las hipótesis alrededor del origen del melodrama y su proyección hacia finales de los siglos XIX y XX. En tanto heredero del impacto cultural de la revolución francesa y la ópera italiana, el melodrama supo vincular la tragedia moderna con procedimientos anclados a otros géneros como la hipérbole, el clímax, el grotesco y los imperativos por la justicia y el sufrimiento humanos. Se trata de destacar especialmente el vínculo existente entre el melodrama y el desarrollo de la techné en tanto soporte desde donde este se ha proyectado: folletín, radioteatro, cine. El trabajo analiza también la serie de formaciones estéticas que han tomado como fuente la figura de Juan Moreira en tanto personaje destacadísimo de la cultura popular decimonónica de Argentina, y expresión inequívoca de la violencia del Estado hacia el subalterno.

This article analyzes the hypotheses around the origin of melodrama and its projection towards the end of the 19th century and the 20th century. As heir to the cultural impact of the French Revolution and Italian opera, melodrama knew how to link modern tragedy with procedures anchored in other genres such as hyperbole, climax, grotesque and imperatives for justice and human suffering. It is about especially highlighting the link between melodrama and the development of techné as a support from which it has been projected: serials, radio drama and cinema. The work also analyzes the series of aesthetic formations that have taken as a source the figure of Juan Moreira as a prominent character of the nineteenth-century popular culture of Argentina, and an unequivocal expression of the violence of the State towards the subaltern. |
