Abstract:

Capoeira is a Brazilian art, expressed by game, fight, and dance. Its movements comprise a wide range of possibilities, alternating planes, turns, balances, supports, and floor-work, pointing to its relevance for technical processes in dance. However, capoeira is also deeply marked by an aesthetic that goes beyond the movement itself. Values, beliefs, habits, and Brazilian customs are rooted in its practice. Authors such as Frigerio show characteristics such as theatricality and malice, noting that a certain ritual role of capoeira seems to be more important in practice than a combative effici

Abstract:

ResumoA prática social capoeira é permeada por diferentes histórias e interpretações de seu surgimento, incluindo a própria etimologia da palavra capoeira, que pode ter sua origem na língua portuguesa, bem como na língua indígena tupi. Outra comum recorrência é da capoeira ser tratada como algo que tem existência em si, separada de seu sujeito, o capoeirista ou o Capoeira. Esse ensaio tem como objetivo recuperar na literatura a origem do nome capoeira, possíveis significados e sua relação com o jogador-lutador-dançador do que denominamos jogo-de-luta-dançada, assim destacar o/a praticante, pro

Purpose of this article to know about a culture, which had ups and down, a culture of struggle and freedom for a community. Capoeira is the glimpse of Brazilian mixed culture transformed from local to global culture. It was a hidden weapon of slave society of Portuguese Brazil against of their masters that escaped them many times. It is a movement, a game, a song, and a dance. It is a motto for generations. It is a vast knowledge for audience worldwide. It is a history, a culture of civilization, a martial art, and a game of global development physically and mentally. This game works everywher

Abstract:

The goal of this article is to contribute to the debate about identity and subjectivity constructions in contemporary migrations and the cultural flows resulting from them, by focusing on the process of transnationalization in the practice of capoeira in Europe. The process began in the 1970s and influenced the development of capoeira, thus engendering changes wherever this dance-fight was established. The paper centers on the capoeiristas’ life experiences, through which they reconstructed their own identities, as well as discourses about capoeira, while at the same time considering the hegem

Abstract:

Frevo is an energetic dance from Recife, the capital of Brazil's northeastern state of Pernambuco. Frevo is a dance of resistance because it narrates complex notions of identity that contribute to social empowerment through strategic processes of liberation for marginalized groups. The dance originates from the Brazilian martial art of capoeira and it is carnivalesque because it is performed in crowded, often violent streets during carnival, when power hierarchies are disrupted. Through this ethnographic research, I consider how frevo practitioners engage in cultural resistance using a practic

Abstract:

Abstract Although the berimbau is widely acknowledged today as part of capoeira - in Brazil and around the world - only a 'minimal' history of this instrument exists concerning its evolution over the twentieth century. The sounds, songs and notes of the berimbau, as well as its circulation among capoeiristas, artists, athletes and intellectuals, played an important role in the historical shift from a 'poisonous' capoeira to the 'non-poisonous' styles. The latter were the same styles that became national with enough of a violent edge to maintain the ambivalence between martial art, game and dan

Abstract:

This article compares ethnographic experiences of two settings characterised by embodied learning: the African-Brazilian dance/martial-art/game capoeira, and swimming for fitness and leisure, both as practiced in the UK. We consider the ways in which participants in these scenes stage-manage the display of their learning environments, focusing on the rituals and routines of instruction and practice. Applying Scott’s (2018) sociology of nothing as an analytical framework, we identify an inverse relationship between two forms of social action. In capoeira, we notice primarily acts of commission

Abstract:

This article provides a re-examination of the main Afrocentric narrative of capoeira origins, the engolo or ‘Zebra Dance’, in light of historical primary sources and new ethnographic evidence gathered during fieldwork in south-west Angola. By examining engolo’s bodily techniques, its socio-historical context and cultural meanings, the piece emphasises its insertion into a pastoral lifestyle and highlights the relatively narrow ethnic character of the practice in Angola. This analysis and the comparison with capoeira helps us to develop certain hypotheses about the formation, migration, and re-

Abstract:

This article will examine the notion of subversive discourse found in both the Brazilian dance-martial art known as capoeira and the recent urban phenomenon called parkour, looking in detail at the origins and influences of the two disciplines. With reference to capoeira, I will argue that the linguistic structure which underpins the game provides the space for each capoeirista to develop his or her own creative expression or ‘personality’ within the framework of the discipline. When looking at parkour, I will consider the ways in which it embodies both the notion of flesh in Merleau-Ponty's l
