This paper is a brief representation of a Capoeira Angola class in North Philadelphia. Through field-work involving observation and participation, I have been able to present the stories of the different members of the class. I have framed their thoughts within the literature I found to be most relevant for this study. My work has
focused on ideas of pedagogy and embodiment as a way to determine how Capoeira is
understood (or not) by the members of the group, and the way that it is mimicked as a
cultural practice. I am interested in why students choose to take the class (and continue to come), as well as how they interpret the knowledge they are given by our instructor. These ideas provide a detailed inquiry of the Capoeira group and tell us something greater about memory, relevance, and transformation of cultural practices. |
