Portuguese term or phrase: Gestado na longa duração
Hi everyone! I'm struggling with this phrase, I guess it means it took a long time to come to light, but I just can't think how to write that! Any help appreciated. Thanks!

5. O positivismo como cultura
Resumo
O artigo enfoca o positivismo na conjuntura de implantação da República brasileira, na virada para o século XX, destacando o discurso médico que impôs uma patologização dos africanos, dos afro-brasileiros e dos indígenas. Este discurso, gestado no século XVIII se robusteceu no XIX, permitindo que na virada para o XX o ex-escravo fosse transformado de objeto de trabalho em objeto da ciência (Nina Rodrigues, Roberto Lyra). O positivismo coroa o abolicionismo, intermediado por um processo de defesa do branqueamento da população brasileira. ***Gestado na longa duração***, ele se nutriu dos dispositivos de objetificação e verticalização e da atualização classificatória da Encyclopédie, para um determinismo biológico que se espraiou das ciências físicas para as sociais, sem se desprender da teologia. Esse saber foi funcional à conquista europeia, substituindo argumentos teológicos por científicos na legitimação da dominação do mundo colonial.
Palavras-chaves: Positivismo; discurso médico; determinismo biológico; criminalização.

Enduring for a long time


Explanation:
I think it's more that positivism lasted for a long time, through the work of many scholars in many fields, often closely and even more distantly, related. Just a suggestion.
