This article focuses on hegemonic pedagogies shaping Spanish colonial practices in the Philippines in the second half of the nineteenth century. I focus on a new epistemological system rooted in positivism called ‘the art of colonization’, a new discipline in the field of International Law, as well as the name of a University of Madrid course taken by civil administrators who would serve in the Philippines. I argue that this body of humanistic knowledge, based on a racialized discourse of domination, focused on human geography to favour white/ European emigration. Furthermore, I demonstrate that it also involved an economic programme through the creation of sustainable agricultural colonies and that it insisted on penal deportation as an ancillary practice of colonization. I conclude by showing that this art put in place pedagogy as a tool to foster and anchor the relationship of power between colonizers and colonized
