Objetivos
Esta disciplina destina-se a demonstrar como os processos políticos e mudanças de relações de poder nas Relações Internacionais (RI) podem ser melhor compreendidos através da lente conceitual da narrativa. Na Parte I, o alunos serão familiarizados com o conceito de narrativa e suas origens. Na parte II, discutiremos os elementos-chave de diferentes tipos de narrativa, como tragédia, romance, sátira, ironia e linhas distópicos / utópicos narrativos que caracterizam parcelas de ficção científica. Parte III começa com uma análise do filme "Dr. Strangelove". Nas sessões subsequentes examinamos a política externa de vários estados e a política internacional de direitos humanos através da lente dos tipos de narrativas apresentadas na parte II. Os alunos irão aprender a analisar os processos políticos nas Relações Internacionais por meio de narrativas particulares e serão capazes de identificar narrativas chave em RI que moldaram a política global ea nossa compreensão das questões essenciais na teoria RI e RI em geral.
 
This course is intended to demonstrate how political processes and changing power relations in IR can be better understood through the conceptual lens of narrative. In part I, the student will be familiarised with the concept of narrative and its origins. In part II, we will discuss the key elements of different narrative types such as tragedy, romance, satire, irony and utopian/dystopian narrative lines characterising science fiction plots. Part III begins with an analysis of the film “Dr. Strangelove”. In the subsequent sessions we examine the foreign policy behaviour of various states and international human rights politics through the lens of the narrative types presented in part II. The students will learn to analyse political processes in IR through particular narratives and will be able to identify key narratives in IR which have shaped global politics and our understanding of essential issues in IR theory and IR.

Programa Resumido
Como fazer sentido do mundo em que vivemos? Gabriel García Márquez disse uma vez que a vida não era sobre o que alguém viveu, mas sobre o que alguém se lembrou e como alguém lembrou-se de dizer isso. Assim, a vida nas palavras de Garcia Márquez é sobre como as pessoas se lembram, contam e recontam suas vidas, sobre como as pessoas constroem suas próprias histórias de vida. Entendemos e damos sentido ao mundo contando histórias sobre este mundo. Nós entendemos os processos políticos e as relações de poder entre os diferentes intervenientes nas Relações Internacionais através das histórias / narrativas de historiadores, acadêmicos, diplomatas e políticos que eles e elas contam e recontam. Também, nosso ponto de vista da teoria de RI é essencialmente formando e moldado pelas histórias contadas por particulares estudiosos da nossa área. Quando a AIDS eclodiu no início de 1980 sociedades inteiras teceram  histórias sobre sua natureza misteriosa e ameaçadora para ser capaz de compreender e enfrentar as suas consequências devastadoras. O governo norte-americano justificou a sua guerra contra o terrorismo depois dos ataques terroristas de 11 de Setembro de 2001 contando uma história tão poderosa que a nossa opinião sobre o mundo continua estando presa por ela hoje. Histórias não só nos ajudam a dar sentido ao mundo. Histórias essencialmente fazem, formam e transformam o mundo. Elas influenciam nossos pensamentos e nosso comportamento. Elas influenciam a forma de como vemos os processos políticos e mudanças de relações de poder em RI. Elas influenciam a forma de como os cidadãos se vêem a sim mesmos.
 
How do we make sense of the world we live in? Gabriel Garcia Márquez once said that life was not about what someone lived, but about what someone remembered and how someone remembered it to tell it. So, life in Garcia Márquez’s words is about how people remember, tell and re-tell their lives, about how people construct their own life-stories. We understand and make sense of the world by telling stories about this world. We understand the political processes and power relations among different actors in IR through the stories historians, scholars, diplomats and politicians tell and re-tell. Our view of IR theory is essentially shaped by particular stories told by leading scholars of the field. When HIV/AIDS broke out in the early 1980s whole societies wove particular stories about its mysterious and threatening nature to be able to come to grips with its devastating consequences. When the US government justified its war on terror after the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001, they told a story so powerful that our view on the world is still imprisoned by it today. Stories do not only help us to make sense of the world. Stories essentially make, shape and transform the world. They influence our thoughts and our behaviour. They influence how we view the political processes and changing power relations in IR. They influence how we citizens see ourselves.
