Know only to God. Problematization and government of the argentine soldiers bodies buried in Malvinas
Abstract
Oriented by the studies on governmentality, this paper analyzes the emergence of the Argentine soldiers buried in the Falklands as governmental problematization. In the first part we develop the WPR approach that interrogates the political proposals as discourses, based on the ways in which the problems are represented, that is, not taking politics as a sphere of resolution but of creating problems in order to make intelligible its space of action and government. In the second part we approach a series of policies texts produced between 1982 and 2015 that focused on problematizing the status of the bodies interred in Malvinas, their identification, their relationship with sovereignty and simultaneously the possibility that their relatives can carry out the ritual of mourning. We concluded by showing that the way of presenting the problem of the dead and buried did not vary from the first military proposals, notwithstanding the stabilization of democracy
