De simuladores, locos y reality shows. Lecturas del delito en las ficciones sobre la Guerra de Malvinas

Abstract

The following work investigates the ways in which the Falklands War (1982) is represented in the fictions written by Argentinean authors from three different generations. Firstly, and based on certain controversies between diverse aesthetic projects, we propose an approach from a generational dynamic, following the guidelines established by Elsa Drucaroff in her essay “Los prisioneros de la torre” [The Prisoners of the Tower]. Secondly, the works about the War are approached from the conceptualization of crime as a critical instrument, following Josefina Ludmer’s ideas, in order to diversify the methods of interpreting this historic event.
