Abstract
Between 1985 and 1988, Jean-Paul Kauffmann travelled through the Kerguelen Islands, a district of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. From these journeys, he drafted a narrative entitled L'Arche des Kerguelen, in which he set himself the task of describing the fate of Yves de Kerguelen and reviving the political, economic and cultural issues involved in the discovery of the southern lands and the phantasmagorical composition of a "Southern France". However, his text depicts a much more a disastrous story: his own story as a former prisoner, but also that of Yves de Kerguelen.
