Esta tese é um estudo de epistemologia da história nos domínios da história econômica. Por ser um estudo de epistemologia histórica também é metodológico e historiográfico. Adotamos como objeto principal de investigação obra e pensamento do historiador francês Fernand Braudel (1902-1985). Nossa hipótese geral é a de que a disciplina de história econômica obteve com Fernand Braudel um novo significado no conjunto das ciências sociais e humanas. Já a nossa hipótese específica parte da noção de que economia mundo não se trata de um conceito comum na obra do autor, como tende a se sustentar na historiografia, mas sim de um mecanismo epistêmico dentro do conjunto braudeliano capaz não apenas de dar sentido à sua teoria histórica do capitalismo, mas fundamental para se compreender a partir da escrita estrutural associada à longa duração - a sua perspectiva de espaço-tempo nos domínios da história. Para comprovação das hipóteses apresentadas, três discussões nortearão esta pesquisa: i) a relação das disciplinas de história, economia e sua resultante, a história econômica; ii) o duelo entre a história estrutural braudeliana e o estruturalismo; e iii) os contextos da obra e pensamento braudelianos. Os resultados obtidos demonstraram que a história econômica não somente foi o maior campo de estudos do historiador francês, mas foi a base de seu projeto epistemológico para o conjunto das ciências sociais e humanas. Verificou-se também que o projeto braudeliano em boa parcela foi construído a partir da antinomia de método com o estruturalismo; uma incursão problematizadora dos princípios epistemológicos do método estruturalista demonstraram que seus formalismos impediram que seu maior expoente, Claude Lévi- Strauss, resolvesse a aporia do tempo. Essa incursão nos levou a estudar a concepção de espaço e de tempo na filosofia e na ciência. Verificou-se o debate entre ciência e filosofia em torno do novo problema espaço-tempo lançado pelo físico Albert Einstein enquanto contexto histórico do período de constituição dos paradigmas dos primeiros Annales e braudelianos. O projeto braudeliano, denominado de história global, de nada tem a ver com a pueril pretensão de estudar todos os fatos históricos humanos em todas as épocas possíveis, mas apenas de se inverter a ordem tradicional de investigação das ciências sociais e humanas que se autonomizaram na virada de século e no decorrer do século XX. Trata-se de não mais se restringir à dicotomia idiográfica hipotético-indutiva (empirista) versus nomotética hipotético-dedutiva (racionalista), trata-se de superá-la. / This thesis is a study of history epistemology within the domains of economic history. As it is a study of history epistemology, it is also methodological and historiographical. We have adopted the french historian Fernand Braudel\'s (1902-1985) work and thought as our investigation object. The general hypothesis is that the economic history discipline has had, with Fernand Braudel, a new meaning in the social and human sciences conjunct. In the other hand, our specific hypothesis is that world-economy is not about a commom concept in the author\'s theory, as it is maintained in historiography, but it\'s about an epistemical mechanism within the braudelian conjunct able to make sense not only to the author\'s historic theory of the capitalism, but fundamental to understand from the structural writing associated to long duration - , as well, his perspective of space-time in history domains. Three discussions will lead this research for validation of the hypothesis: i) the disciplines\' relations of history, economy and their resultant, economic history; ii) the battle between braudelian structural history and structuralism; and iii) the braudelian work and thought contexts. The obtained results have shown that economic history was not only the greater study field of the french historian, but also the bedrock for his epistemological project for the social science conjunct. It was also verified that the braudelian project was elaborated from the methodological antinomy with the structuralism; a problematical incursion of the epistemological principles from the structural method have shown that its formalisms prevented its greater exponent, Claude Lévi-Strauss, to solve the time aporia. This incursion lead us to study the concept of space and time in philosophy and in science. We have noticed that the debate between science and philosophy about the new problem space-time brought up by the physicist Albert Einstein, is related to paradigms from the earliest Annales, and the braudelians. The braudelian project denominated global history, has nothing to do with the puerile pretension of studying all the human historical facts of all possible times, but only to invert the traditional investigation order of social sciences which became independant by the century\'s upturn and throughout the XX th century. This is no longer about getting restricted to the hypothetical-inductive (empiricist) idiographic dichotomy versus hypothetical-deductive (rationalist) nomothetic, it is about to overcome it.

Orientador: Hélio Rebello Cardoso Cardoso Júnior / Banca: Milton Carlos Costa / Banca: Astor Antônio Diehl / Resumo: Fernand Braudel defende a pesquisa histórica que prioriza a longa duração. Os próprios fundadores da revista dos Annales já pensavam a história a partir de longos períodos, contrapondo-se à história política dos séculos XVIII e XIX, ainda que Fernand Braudel afirme que a história política não é exclusivamente factual, nem condenada a sê-lo. Para entendermos como Fernand Braudel chega a esta posição é necessário refletir sobre as influências que o levaram a tal, dentre as quais e, principalmente, a tradição dos Annales. Portanto, buscaremos analisar as considerações sobre o tempo histórico em Lucien Febvre e Marc Bloch e como estas considerações incidem na nova grade do tempo proposta por Fernand Braudel. Analisaremos o tempo histórico em suas dimensões de "temporalidade" e "duração", a "dialética da duração" e a forma como Fernand Braudel trabalha com o conceito de "estrutura".

Even the founders of the Journal of Annales already thought history from long periods of time, contrasting to the political history of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, while Fernand Braudel has said that the political history is not only factual, or ordered to do so. To understand how Fernand Braudel reaches this position, we must reflect on the influences that led him to this, among them, and mainly from the tradition of the Annales. Therefore, we'll examine the comments about the historical time in Marc Bloch and Lucien Febvre and how these considerations relate to the new grade of time proposed by Fernand Braudel. We'll review the historical time in its dimensions of "temporality" and "duration", the "dialectic of duration" and how Fernand Braudel works with the concept of "structure". The study of the methodological perspectives from Annales group, which is our project, is a prerequisite to understanding the methods of contemporary historiography, in particular those linked to the New History. Due to the systematization of the new proposal about time for historical research conducted by the Fernand Braudel and, especially, the merit of articulating the environment, culture and society on works marked by the "dialectics of the time," we have to take his work as a basis for the current research. / Mestre

The Arctic—warming at twice the rate of the rest of the planet—is a source of striking imagery of amplified environmental change in our time, and has come to serve as a spatial setting for climate crisis discourse. The recent alterations in the Arctic environment have also been perceived by some observers as an opportunity to expand economic exploitation. Heightened geopolitical interest in the region and its resources, contradicted by calls for the protection of fragile Far North ecosystems, has rendered the Arctic an arena for negotiating human interactions with nature, and for reflecting upon the planetary risks and possibilities associated with the advent and expansion of the Anthropocene—the proposed new epoch in Earth history in which humankind is said to have gained geological agency and become the dominant force over the Earth system. With the Arctic serving as a nexus of crosscutting analytical themes spanning contemporary history (the late twentieth and the early twenty-first century until 2015), this dissertation examines defining characteristics of the Anthropocene and how the concept, which emerged from the Earth system science community, impacts ideas and assumptions in historiography, social sciences and the environmental humanities, including the fields of environmental history, crisis management and security studies, political geography, and science and technology studies (STS). The primary areas of empirical analysis and theoretical investigation encompass constructivist perspectives and temporal conceptions of environmental and climate crisis; the role of science and expertise in performing politics and shaping social discourse; the geopolitical significance of telecoupling—a concept that reflects the interconnectedness of the Anthropocene and supports stakeholder claims across wide spatial scales; and implications of the recent transformation in humankind’s long duration relationship with the natural world. Several dissertation themes were observed in practice at the international science community of Ny-Ålesund on Svalbard, where global change is made visible through a concentration of scientific activity. Ny-Ålesund is furthermore a place of geopolitics, where extra-regional states attempt to enhance their legitimacy as Arctic stakeholders through the performance of scientific research undertakings, participation in governance institutions, and by establishing a physical presence in the Far North. This dissertation concludes that this small and remote community represents an Anthropocene node of global environmental change, Earth system science, emergent global governance, geopolitics, and stakeholder construction in an increasingly telecoupled world.

This study offers an inquiry into the historical context of the invention, consolidation, and on-going popularity of the ancient theatre typology based on the Greek-Roman &amp / #8216 / binarism&amp / #8217 / , for a better understanding of its philosophical and theoretical foundations. It scrutinises those foundations in order to discover, in their limitations for an assessment and restitution of the architectural characteristics of extant ancient theatre remains, a new set of variables for devising an alternative method of classification that adopts the &amp / #8216 / network&amp / #8217 / model. The classification made on the basis of the geographical distribution of the extant ancient theatre remains in modern Spain and Greece according to their size, their construction period, and the construction technique applied in their cavea enables an interpretation of Roman period theatre construction activity in these two regions of the Mediterranean from a &amp / #8216 / geo-historical&amp / #8217 / point of view, in the light of the variety of processes expressed by the term &amp / #8216 / Romanisation&amp / #8217 / . A comparative analysis of the examples in the two study areas along Fernand Braudel&amp / #8217 / s three historical time planes reveals the structural differences between the two corresponding provinces of the Roman Empire, highlighting the usefulness of adopting a &amp / #8216 / rhizomatic&amp / #8217 / model instead of a &amp / #8216 / binary&amp / #8217 / one in typological studies of ancient theatre architecture for their better integration into contemporary discourses emphasizing &amp / #8216 / cultural diversity&amp / #8217 / and &amp / #8216 / change&amp / #8217 / in the Mediterranean basin.

Before the regulation of opium as a “narcotic” in Sweden in 1923, opium was not regulated for its intoxicating properties and was freely available. But not in any kind of shop. Opium was legally available only through the pharmacies. This thesis explores how this free availability of a narcotic was understood by its traders, the pharmacists. The title of this thesis – The Value of Poison – indicates how opium could be conceptualized both as a safe, everyday remedy essential to keep freely available and as a drug of intoxication. As a poison it could be articulated as a matter of primarily pharmacological, not moral or medical, concern. This also gave the pharmacists, with their special knowledge of pharmaka (drugs, poisons), an autonomous space of knowledge free from the ever more intruding “medical gaze”. But, in order to articulate this kind of understanding of opium, another kind of knowledge was needed to be acknowledged: that of the user. In this articulation a “sensus communis” was tied in with a broader cultural knowledge of drugs. Problems with opium were focused on the danger of acute poisoning, not recreational intoxication. Concepts that could have problematized this kind of use were rearticulated as problems either of illegitimate trade, unregulated markets and advertising or of draconian regulation by greedy or sloppy doctors. These rather opposite elements were made equivalent through the articulation of ignorance in both cases, thus further emphasizing the special knowledge of the pharmacist. The thesis locates a process of contradiction that contributes to the eventual diminishing of the discourse of poison towards the end of the period. The pharmaceutical knowledge that guaranteed the discourse was based on a “pharmaceutical gaze” on pharmaka. It pierced through the drug to identify its constituent parts. In this process it was promised that the different effects of opium would be separated. “Narcotic” could be a by-product, to be discarded or controlled, without dispensing of other therapeutic effects. With this ever deeper knowledge of opium, knowledge in the pharmacies was made insufficient for the full understanding or opium, and so too was that of the traditional user. The era of opium as a poison was over. / Före den första särlagstiftningen om narkotika i Sverige 1923 reglerades inte opiumets rusgivande egenskaper. Drogen var fritt tillgänglig i handeln. Men inte i vilken butik som helst. Opium kunde bara köpas lagligt på landets apotek. Den här avhandlingen undersöker hur denna fria tillgänglighet av narkotika förstods av droghandlarna själva, apotekarna. Titeln pekar på hur opium på en och samma gång kunde tänkas som en säker husmedicin vars tillgänglighet var avgörande för folkhälsan och som en rusgivande drog. Som ”gift” artikulerades det som en i första hand farmakologisk angelägenhet, inte en moralisk eller medicinsk. När de talade på detta sätt upprättade apotekarna, genom sin särskilda kunskap om farmaka, ett eget rum för sitt vetande, fritt från läkarnas allt mer genomträngande ”kliniska blick”. Men för att kunna artikulera denna förståelse av opium krävdes också att en annan typ av kunskap vidkändes: brukarens. Genom denna artikulation knöts brukarnas ”sensus communis” samman med en bredare kulturell kunskap om droger. De av opiumets problem som lyftes fram handlade om akut förgiftning, inte rekreationellt rusbruk. De begrepp som hade varit möjliga att användas för att problematisera denna senare form av bruk reartikulerades: antingen förpassades de till den olagliga handeln, de oreglerade marknaderna och reklamen, eller också till de drakoniska regleringarna som giriga och slarviga läkare stod bakom. Apotekarna artikulerade dessa båda helt motstående element som ekvivalenta genom en brist på kunskap, vilket i sin tur ytterligare stärkte deras egen kunskapsmakt. Avhandlingen lokaliserar även en processande motsägelse som sker när giftets diskurs tynar bort vid slutet av den undersökta perioden. Den farmaceutiska kunskap som underbyggde diskursen vilade på en ”farmaceutisk blick” på farmaka. Denna genomborrade drogämnet för att avslöja dess beståndsdelar. Genom denna process utlovades att opiumets olika effekter skulle kunna skiljas från varandra. ”Narkotikan” kunde ses som en bieffekt, som kunde kastas åt sidan eller kontrolleras separat, utan att opiumets kvarvarande terapeutiska effekter minskade. Denna allt djupare kunskap medförde att de enskilda apotekarnas eget vetande på apoteken inte räckte till för att fullt ut förstå opium, och därmed bröts även samartikulationen med brukarnas kunskap. Tidseran när opium var ett gift tog därmed slut under mellankrigsperioden.
