Resumen

If the generic condition of the melodrama itself is in ques-tion, unraveling its own evolution in the light of the suc-cessive aesthetic, narrative and ideological paradigms that have prevailed throughout the history of the audiovisual —at the same time as the regimes in the contemporary world in general—, it is so much more arduous. In this sec-tion, five voices from different backgrounds and profession-al-academic affiliations debate around some of the funda-mental questions related to contemporary melodrama, such as their concrete contributions to the general pattern, the existence or not of a causal relationship (and in what sense) between its changes and sociocultural transformations, the controversy about its reactionary or transgressive nature, the imprint from classicism and modernity that remains inscribed in its current exponents, and the possibility of up-dating the canon by incorporating relevant titles based on criteria of different types.
