| Sumario: | Fernand Braudel and Vidal de La Blache: “geohistory” and History´s Geography. “Think about the geographical history which we have tried to promote and have called geohistory” (Braudel, 1951). According to the quotation dated of 1951, the first edition of “The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean Word in the Age of Philip II” is a book which is considered a landmark in Fernand Braudel´s geographical history. That book is considered his great contribution to Geohistory. Recognized by historians, in The Mediterranean the author develops a new time conception, the “dialectic of the duration” and inserts his conception which revolutions the epistemology’s history of the XXth century: “the long duration”. The “long duration” is his History main thesis. Up to it, historians considered only the short time. In The Mediterranean, the “long duration” has a special meaning: the ‘geography time’. However, not much attention has been given to Fernand Braudel’s concept of space and to his relations with the geographers who founded the Geography science. This article wants to recuperate a debate, which for a long time was present in the Geography science: the determinism. It also wants to restore and help clarify the relations between Fernand Braudel, Vidal de La Blache and Lucien Febvre, besides Fernand Braudel’s conception of space. The method adopted is a comparison of three books of those three authors: The Mediterranean, The Principles of Human Geography andA Geographical Introduction to History. Moreover, a graphic was made which systematizes Fernand Braudel’s main theoretical references, which could be observed in the notes of the first part of the Mediterranean. As a result, Vidal de La Blache’s influence in Fernand Braudel’s work is uncontestable. |
