Abstract

This article analyzes the production of the event contemporary placing in relief its construction in three approaches: Literature, the Media and History. Having as base the proposals of Paul Ricoeur, we investigate as the action narrative constructs ways as much in the text as is of it. In them we lean over on the triple narrative of The War of the Worlds: literary text of H. G. Wells, media text of Orson Welles and the historical reflection on the effect unchained for the program of radio propagated in 1938.
