Title in Portuguese
O Darwinismo Social na Geografia Humana estadunidense: um estudo de obras selecionadas de Ellsworth Huntington e Ellen Semple
Keywords in Portuguese
Darwinismo social
Ellen Semple
Ellsworth Huntington
Geografia humana nos EUA
História da geografia
Abstract in Portuguese
A tese busca, à luz de uma preocupação metodológica que coloca em diálogo a História Intelectual e a História da Geografia, compreender o impacto do Darwinismo Social sobre o pensamento do final do século XIX e início do século XX, com o objetivo de elucidar as relações existentes entre essa corrente intelectual e a fundamentação epistemológica e filosófica das obras de Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1947) e Ellen Semple (1863-1932), dois dos principais autores da Geografia Humana no contexto nacional estadunidense das décadas de 1900 a 1930. São estudadas as relações existentes entre a institucionalização da Geografia acadêmica nos EUA, a força do Darwinismo Social como um quadro de referência filosófico e epistemológico no campo intelectual do período, as trajetórias dos dois geógrafos e as ideias contidas nas obras "Civilization and Climate" (1915/1924), de Ellsworth Huntington, e "Influences of Geographic Environment" (1911), de Ellen Semple. Além dessas duas obras que recebem análises mais detalhadas, são abordadas outras contribuições de ambos à disciplina, buscando situar seus respectivos esforços intelectuais no quadro socioeconômico, geopolítico, epistemológico e ideológico mais amplo que caracterizou as primeiras décadas do século XX.

Abstract in English
The thesis seeks, under a methodological concern that puts in dialogue Intellectual History and History of Geography, to understand the impact of Social Darwinism on late nineteenth and early twentieth century thinking in order to elucidate existing relationships between this intellectual current and the epistemological and philosophical foundation of the works of Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1947) and Ellen Semple (1863-1932), two of the leading authors of Human Geography in the USA national context from the 1900s to 1930s. The relationships among the institutionalization of academic geography in the USA, the strength of Social Darwinism as a philosophical and epistemological reference framework in the intellectual field of the period, the trajectories of the two geographers and the ideas contained in the works "Civilization and Climate" (1915/1924), by Ellsworth Huntington, and "Influences of Geographic Environment" (1911), by Ellen Semple, are studied along the thesis. In addition to these two works which receive more detailed analysis, other contributions of both of them for the discipline are addressed in order to situate their respective intellectual efforts in the broader socioeconomic, geopolitical, epistemological and ideological scenario that characterized the first decades of the twentieth century.
