“…Seal fur was used for garments: hats, coats, waistcoat and boots, and the fat oil for lubrication, manufacture and lighting. Antarctic sealer ships traded mainly in London, New York and Canton harbours (Basberg & Headland 200 8; Berguño 1993a,b; Bonner 1968; Fanning 1924; Goodridge 1837; Morrell 1832; Murdoch 1984; Smith & Simpson 1987; Zarankin & Senatore 2007), coming from the USA, UK, South Africa, New Zealand, France, Tasmania, Canada, Chile, Norway, Portugal, Germany, and so on (cf. Headland 1989).…”

Antarctica differs from all other regions in the world, not only from its unique geography, but also in the way humans understand it and have incorporated it into global relations. Considering Antarctica's distinctive landscapes and human relations, this paper discusses aspects of how time is humanly perceived in Antarctica. Basing on elements from different human occupations, nineteenth-century sailor-hunters and current incursions, this discussion approximates different historical groups in their experiences of Antarctica, connecting their personal lives, past and present. Meanwhile, also put into issue are the dualities that separate nature and culture, physical and relative time, and past and present, as well as the related notions of time in itself, perceived time speed and internal time consciousness.

“…Após a inclusão do continente Antártico no itinerário de caça, houve várias incursões à região para busca de peles e óleo. Os navios foqueiros (ou sealers, no inglês) antárticos comercializavam principalmente nos portos de Londres, Nova Iorque e Cantão (Basberg; Headland, 2008;Berguño, 1993aBerguño, , 1993bBonner, 1968;Goodridge, 1839;Morrell, 1832;Murdoch, 1984;Smith;Simpson, 1987;Senatore, 2007) e provinham dos Estados Unidos, Reino Unido, África do Sul, Nova Zelândia, França, Tasmânia, Canadá, Chile, Noruega, Portugal, Alemanha, entre outros (Headland, 1989). Os produtos da exploração eram comercializados globalmente, sendo a pele para vestimentas, como chapéus, casacos, coletes e botas, e o óleo para lubrificação, manufatura e iluminação.…”

Resumo: O tempo é dimensão intrínseca da vivência humana e da nossa experiência de mundo. Evitando considerá-lo simplesmente como invólucro ou como um suporte de eventos, abre-se lugar para pensar sobre o tempo imanente, que nos é interno à consciência. Esse é o tempo tal como é percebido, que privilegia, por exemplo, a duração percebida de algum evento ao invés da duração absoluta, mensurada em minutos, dias ou anos. Essas questões se fazem relevantes quando se considera a presença dos marinheiros-caçadores na Antártica do século XIX. Isso porque a imagem recorrente do continente gelado é a de um espaço inerte e estático, sem ação e sem tempo. Contudo, pensando na possibilidade de outras formas de compreendê-la, esse artigo explora os elementos que podem determinar ou influenciar a percepção do tempo transcorrido, sua velocidade e compasso, para o contexto desses marinheiros-caçadores. Para isso, serão relacionados elementos como o ritmo intenso de trabalho de caça, os momentos de lazer, de atribulações e obstáculos, os marcadores absolutos e não absolutos de tempo, a proveniência dos objetos utilizados (metrópole x Antártica) e a durabilidade dos objetos trazidos na viagem. Palavras-chave:Tempo. Marinheiros-caçadores. Século XIX. Arqueologia. Paisagem. Antártica. Abstract:Time is an intrinsic dimension of our life as humans and our experience of the world. When not considering it simply as a shell or as a medium for events, we are invited to think about immanent time, which is internal to consciousness and refers to perception. It highlights, for example, perceived duration instead of absolute duration, measured in minutes, days or years. These issues are relevant when considering the presence of sailor-hunters in 19th century Antarctica. The recurrent image we created of the cold continent is one of it being still and static, without action or time. However, thinking about the possibility of other ways of understanding it, this article explores the elements that may determine or influence the perception of time passage, its velocity and rhythm, in the context of thesesailor-hunters. In this respect, the following elements will be correlated: the intense rhythm of the hunting activities, the moments of leisure and obstacles to the work, the absolute and non-absolute markers of time, the provenance of the objects used (Metropolitan state versus Antarctica), and the durability of the objects taken on the trip.
