Capoeira e Arte do Viver

Abstract

We propose to understand capoeira as an art of living. To this end, we present a review of the discussions of research that has followed capoeira groups. The principle of cartography placed the investigation between intentions and becomings and opportunized the production of diaries and interviews. The analyses has constituted as thought experimentation exercises that exposed the paths of taste and the need, in addition to the danger of the lack of taste within the limits of the dichotomy between Angola and Regional styles. When it comes to the taste and need dimensions, the capoeirista finds himself with the powers that run under the trained skills, and that guarantee the composition of certain way of capoeira being in constant displacement with tradition.
