ORELLANA GUARELLO, Valentina. POSTAL CODE 9409 AND THE FALKLANDS WAR: FROM CORRESPONDENCE TO SOLDIER-SONS AND A LETTER TO AN UNKNOWN SOLDIER. hist.crit. [online]. 2011, n.44, pp.182-199. ISSN 0121-1617.
This article examines the letters exchanged between young conscripts and their parents during the Falklands War and those that people anonymously wrote "to an Argentine soldier." The wartime separation generated an extraordinary amount of letter-writing in order to, on a personal level, record and recompose the relationships suspended by distance, and, at the national level, to reestablish spaces of consensus and horizontality. In this way, we describe how individual actors and their private accounts were giving shape to a microscopic history that has its dissentions and accords with the history generally written in capital letters.
