Abstract: The production of yerba mate was a determining factor in the colonisation of the province of Misiones (Argentina) and is a central point in its economy. The period studied here begins in 1926, when President Marcelo T. de Alvear passed a number of decrees allowing the first agricultural colonies to be founded, and ends with the ‘provincialization’ of the National Territory in 1953. Michel Foucault’s analytical tools are used to examine the implementation of the disciplinary practices that simultaneously delineated space and population. In this frontier territory, which was sparsely populated and a long way from urban areas, State policies led to the appearance of what Foucault names ‘biopower’.
