Authenticity, identity and narrative inequality: struggling in times of peace to be a Malvinas war veteran

摘要

This article analyzes narratives of the Malvinas war by a group of Argentine non-recognized veterans. Our aim is to understand the discursive conditions of their situation, which leaves them in an unequal position with respect to other veterans. Analysis will show that their stories are shaped in a way which is not compatible with the hegemonic narratives about war, thus receiving an unequal legal treatment.
