Abstract

This article aims to problematize the native concept of “ginga” derived from the practice of
capoeira, based on the social situation lived in the Brazilian electoral process of 2018, with the
assassination of Moa do Katendê Master. This research tries to demonstrate that the “ginga”
constitutes an aesthetic and symbolic device which is part of the performative repertoire of
capoeira practitioners and can be understood as an artifact of navigation and social action of
“capoeiristas” in the context of their subordination. This is a case study based on the monitoring
of the Master's murder in the electoral context, but also on the combination of academic and
political worries that concern the experiences of a researcher who is also a capoeira practitioner.
