  • Descrição: The aim of this article is to analyse certain controversies that concerns climate collapse within a framework of critique inuenced by recent methodological debates on the history of International Law. To accomplish the present research, the emphasis has been descriptive and analytical study mainly of literature and selected documents. In recent years, the probable beginning of a new geological era known as the Anthropocene has been receiving considerable attention from historians. The assumption that humanitys activities since the Industrial Revolution is equivalent to a telluric force ultimately resonates in historiographical theory and acquires a global appeal. First, it is argued that the Anthropocene holds troubling connections with the formation of international society. Through an anachronic lens, post-colonial literatures input on the history of International Law attracts attention as colonialism and imperialism rise as a problematic dimension of present concerns of international legal thought and institutions agenda; in this sense, it is worth making use of these analytical tools to widen the understanding of discursive formations related with the Anthropocene. Second, the article draws upon the estimated that anthropogenic-related climate collapse may destabilize the conditions of the construction of historical knowledge over which international legal thought has been based. These aspects will be accessed by means of contextualist interpretations of history. Lastly, the article contemplates an estimation of the viability of progressive teleology of history and makes a case for the validity of expanding the horizons of expectations in order to account for less optimistic readings of the future of international modern society.
