This article explores the strategies articulated by two cultural productions that configured attempts to assign intelligibility to the Malvinas War. Both in Malvinas: de la guerra sucia a la guerra limpia, the essay written by León Rozitchner, and Malvinas: historia de traiciones, the documentary directed by Jorge Denti, this historical episode is analyzed from the immediacy of historical experience. These interventions participate in the debates raised as a result of the beginning of the wart. Both are organized from a controversial intention dedicated to refute the celebratory interpretations of the action undertaken by the last civic-military dictatorship. From their respective exiles, Rozitchner engages in a battle in the intellectual field and Denti films a documentary that seeks to assign the voice to the people. In both cases, we will explore modes of intervention on the present and valid approaches to thinking war.
