          Abstract

          Resumen A partir de mediados del siglo XIX, las ferias universales fueron eventos de trascendencia a escala mundial. En ellas, la antropología fue adquiriendo un papel destacado, conllevando un fin científico y educativo. Sin embargo, sirvió de argumento justificatorio de políticas expansionistas y racistas. Un grupo tehuelche fue convocado a la exposición de Saint Louis (Estados Unidos) en 1904. Se analizarán cómo fueron descritos por diversas fuentes y cómo fueron transformados en objetos estereotipados de consumo masivo, cuestionándose el carácter educativo y científico del departamento.

          Abstract From the mid-nineteenth century onwards, universal fairs became globally significant events. Anthropology gradually gained prominence there, serving scientific and educational purposes. However, it also served as a justification for expansionist and racist policies. A Tehuelche group was invited to the Saint Louis Exhibition (United States) in 1904. This study will analyze how they were described by various sources and how they were transformed into stereotyped objects of mass consumption, which calls into question the educational and scientific character of the department.
