Abstract

The article analyzes the government of Malvinas war veterans by the Argentine State, based on laws of work, decrees and resolutions promulgated between 1983 and 2011. From an analytical standpoint of governmentality, we try to show the constitution of work policies as a social protection device, showing how the problems and actions needed to solve those issues are presented discursively. The text is divided in three parts. First, we present some theoretical-methodological discussions of our study, linking the fieldwork of governmentality with social policies. The second part focuses on delineating a general picture of Argentinian postwar, highlighting the scarcity of war veterans within the political and social panorama of the country. Finally, we analyze the legal corpus referred to the work realm of excombatants. The text concludes identifying a number of regularities that show the identity of war veteran's metamorphosis as a subject at risk of disaffiliation as a common problematization.
