Learning Capoeira: Lessons In Cunning From An Afrobrazilian Art Is A Provocative Look At Capoeira, A Demanding Acrobatic Art That Combines Dance, Ritual, Music, And Fighting Style. First Created By Slaves, Freedmen, And Gang Members, Capoeira Is A Study In Contrasts That Integrates Africandescended Rhythms And Flowing Dance Steps With Hard Lessons From The Street. According To Veteran Teachers, Capoeira Will Transform Novices, Instilling In Them A Sense Of Malicia, Or 'Cunning,' And Changing How They Walk, Hear, And Interact.Learning Capoeira Is An Ethnographic Study Based On Author Greg Downey'S Extensive Research About Capoeira And More Than Ten Years Of Apprenticeship. It Looks At Lessons From Traditional Capoeira Teachers In Salvador, Brazil, Capturing The Spoken And Unspoken Ways In Which They Pass On The Art To Future Generations. Downey Explores How Bodily Training Can Affect Players' Perceptions And Social Interactions, Both Within The Circular Roda, The 'Ring' Where The Game Takes Place, As Well As Outside It, In Their Daily Lives. He Brings Together An Experiencecentered, Phenomenological Analysis Of The Art With Recent Discoveries In Psychology And The Neurosciences About The Effects Of Physical Education On Perception. The Text Is Enhanced By More Than Twenty Photos Of Capoeira Sessions, Many Taken By Veteran Teacher, Mestre Cobra Mansa.Learning Capoeira Breaks From Many Contemporary Trends In Cultural Studies Of All Sorts, Looking At Practice, Education, Music, Nonverbal Communication, Perception, And Interaction. It Will Be Of Interest To Students Of African Diaspora Culture, Performance, Sport, And Anthropology. For Anyone Who Has Wondered How Physical Training Affects Our Perceptions, This Close Study Of Capoeira Will Open New Avenues For Understanding How Culture Shapes The Ways We Carry Ourselves And See The World.
