Abstract
Description
En 1858 el francés Antoine de Tounens (1825-1878) desembarca en Coquimbo, al sur de Santiago, y se dirige hacia la Patagonia. En menos de dos años logra concretar alianzas con los caciques Puelches y Tehuelches y, en noviembre de 1860, promulga en Perquenco la Constitución del Reino de Araucanía y de la Patagonia. En la actualidad, la Corte del Reino de Araucanía es una asociación sin fines de lucro que congrega a una treintena de miembros en Périgord, Francia. Mi intención aquí, etnográfica y contemporánea, es analizar más allá de las tesis orientalistas, colonialistas y del énfasis repetido en el “ridículo” que dominan en los medios nacionales e internacionales, el sentido de la perpetuación de la Corte Real de Araucanía

In November 1860 the Constitution of the Kingdom of Araucania and Patagonia is promulgated in Perquenco. At present, the Court of the Kingdom of Araucania is a non-profit association that brings together some thirty members in Périgord, France. My intention here, ethnographic and contemporary, is to analyze -beyond the orientalist, colonialist theses and the repeated national and international media emphasis on the “ridiculous”- the meaning of the perpetuation of the Royal Court of Araucanía
