Abstract

The article begins conceptualizing Malvinas/Falklands war as a limit event and proposing some theoretical considerations about representation problems within limit events, since they put historic discourse abilities to represent reality in check and question conventional distinctions between fiction and history. Afterwards the article presents an analysis of three novels which represent Malvinas/Falklands war and were written in the 80’s: Los pichiciegos (Rodolfo Fogwill), Asusplantasrendido un león(Osvaldo Soriano) and Ardeaúnsobre los años (Fernando López). The analysis enquires into possibilities literature displays when representing limit events.
