REAL, Márcio Penna Corte. The musicality of capoeira: analysis of a field of knowledge/power (?) . Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2014, vol.39, n.1, pp.87-111. ISSN 0101-7136.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v39i1.29513.

This paper analyzes the roles of the musicality of capoeira. It uses the idea of field in its analysis of the contradiction between the intercultural educational potential of the musicality in/of capoeira and the possibility of its becoming a motive for dispute between its agents. As the thread of the argumentative plot, it highlights the idea of capoeira circles as an allegory for the method presented. The data used are aspects of the stories of capoeira masters who lived in Salvador, Bahia, between 1890 and 1994; and interviews conducted over three months of fieldwork in the city. The study produced contributions for research on the teaching-learning process of the musicality and the building of teachers' knowledge in non-formal spaces, understood as fields of knowledge and power.

Keywords : Capoeira; Musicality; Field; Educators.
