TEMPO E REPETI O NA TEORIA DAS RELA ES INTERNACIONAIS

The present paper analyses the concepts of structure from Neo-Realism and Poststructuralism in International Relations. Relating those concepts with the traditional and alternative notions of time, we demonstrate how neo-realists need the adoption of non-conservatory temporal categories in order to support its static logic, while Poststructuralisms conceives the "eternal movement" as meaningful by accepting traditional notions of time. In this sense, we intend to demonstrate how each one of the approaches can only keep its internal coherence by tacitly accepting conceptual categories external to its own logic.
