NARVAEZ, Geovanny. Global melorealism: a contemporary cinematographic aesthetic tendency. Ñawi [online]. 2022, vol.6, n.2, pp.173-188. ISSN 2588-0934.  https://doi.org/10.37785/nw.v6n2.a10.

This study proposes an extrapolation of the aesthetic typology known as melodramatic realism. This approach, based on a corpus that includes Linha de passe (2008), Leonera (2008), Biutiful (2010), El niño (2005), Precious (2009) and Cafarnaúm (2018), seeks to illustrate a trend of global melodramatic realism in contemporary cinema through the identification of five main tropes: realistic effect in fiction, the cartography of adversity and belonging, social commitment and/or protest, personification of vulnerability and exaggeration.

Palabras clave : Melodramatic realism; global melorealism; cinematographic aesthetics; contemporary cinema; tropes.
