| Sumario: | The article seeks to rethink a widespread and crystallized image, which has even permeated our historiography: the one that conceives the Malvinas war as a totally exceptional moment in the relations between civil society and the last military dictatorship. This interpretation focuses on the multiple displays of support for the landing on the islands by various social actors, which would have produced a total and seamless reunion between society and the regime. In this perspective, the Malvinas war appears as a disruptive moment, which differs from the increase in protest before the war and the social explosion after the defeat. The Malvinas war, then, appears disassociated from the Transition to democracy. The work seeks to reintegrate the Malvinas war into its conjuncture and think about the continuities of the Malvinas moment with the pre-war period, specifically regarding the political dimension. To do this, it reduces the scale of observation to the local level and focuses on the practices and constructions of meaning deployed by members of the Political Youth of Neuquén, a group formed during the war by militants from the main parties in the province. The article historicizes the configuration of the multiparty youth organization from the sociocultural perspective of the war, based on the analysis of regional periodical press, intraparty sources and oral testimonies. |
