SCHROEDER, Anastácia; VIEIRA, Joana Rita Lopes  and  SILVA, Maria Cecília de Paula. Body, culture and Paulo Freire: capoeira as a way of education from the perspective of human emancipation. Rev. Inter Ação [online]. 2017, vol.42, n.2, pp.538-555. ISSN 1981-1802.  https://doi.org/10.5216/ia.v42i2.44066.

This theoretical article aims to relate Freire’s concepts of being more, conscientization, freedom, reading the world, limit situations, oppressed oppressor, with the foundations and the symbolic universe of Capoeira, Afro-Brazilian cultural manifestation of struggle and resistance of historically marginalized people in order to enable a libertarian education based on culture. By presenting foundations embodied in corporeity and symbologies, such as cantigas, which confer social and historical belonging, as well as the positive valorization of historically silenced identities, the practice of capoeira is a potential cultural manifestation towards the Be More, leading to the critical insertion in reality of the oppressed people, so that they act on it for human emancipation.

Keywords : Capoeira; Body; Paulo Freire; Libertarianeducation.
