Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the process of civilization of otherness for the colonization of Urabá (Antioquia, Colombia). The missionary work of Mother Laura and later of the Catholic Prefecture of the Discalced Carmelites for the period 1914-1940 configured a spatial order that structured the colonization of Urabá as a frontier region responding to a national order whose function was to normalize, securitize, moralize and civilize social geography to avoid any other process of territorial secession like that of Panama in the year 1903.
