Resumo: In Brazil, many areas of research have been studying the topic of drugs, although State policies have historically looked almost exclusively for medicine’s perspectives to support their legislation and government actions regarding psychoactive substances. With the intention to present other perspectives to analyze the topic, this article proposes a short historiographical contextualization of drugs, focusing on the Brazilian case. The article problematizes the concept of “drug” itself – which can have many different meanings, often carrying a pejorative feature in its daily use – and exposes the necessity of humanities’ look at the discussion, considering that medical and scientific perspectives have historically dominated the debates, both in the academy and the public sphere.

Com o intuito de apresentar outras perspectivas de análise do tema, este artigo propõe uma breve contextualização das drogas na historiografia, com enfoque no caso brasileiro. Problematizamos o próprio conceito de “droga”, palavra cujos significados podem ser muitos e que geralmente carrega um caráter pejorativo no seu uso cotidiano. Pretendemos, por fim, expor a necessidade de mais trabalhos e olhares que partam das humanidades para essa discussão, uma vez que as perspectivas médico-científicas historicamente dominaram os debates, tanto na academia quanto na esfera pública.Programa de Pós Graduação em História - UFMG2019-06-25info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/temporalidades/article/view/12317Temporalidades; Vol. 11 No. 1 (2019): Edição 29 - Temporalidades, Belo Horizonte, Vol. 11, n.1 (jan./abr. 2019)Temporalidades; v. 11 n. 1 (2019): Edição 29 - Temporalidades, Belo Horizonte, Vol. 11, n.1 (jan./abr. 2019)1984-6150reponame:Temporalidadesinstname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGCopyright (c) 2019 Luiza Lima Diasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDias, Luiza Lima2020-03-02T20:39:12Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/12317Revistahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/temporalidadesPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/temporalidades/oai||temporalidades@gmail.com1984-61501984-6150opendoar:2020-03-02T20:39:12Temporalidades - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false
