Summary note
This work attempts to describe and analyze some of the social representations about capoeira, as well as the experience of capoeira, with the objective of discussing and resizing aspects of the production of alterity of this social agent. While negotiating the difference between the "me" and the "other" in the symbolic and practical game, alterity constitutes a support for the understanding that the society/group/subject has of itself and of the "other," entailing specific social deals. In this sense, we seek to apprehend both the hegemonic and consensual representations of the capoeiras, as well as their rugosities and nuances, as well as the possibility of reinventing themselves and the world through contact with capoeira. In order to do this, we work in two ways: in the first, with the theory of social representations of Moscovici as a theoretical tool, the purpose is to elucidate the hegemonic representations about the capoeiras and the contextual conditions that favored its emergence, from the revision literature, and scientific articles. In the second, through theoretical and methodological interfaces of social representations, cartography - as devised by Deleuze and Guattari and developed by Rolnik and Kastrup - and the ethnographic authorities, we aim to shed light on the intimacy of the capoeiras through participant observation in one of the capoeira Angola groups of Rio de Janeiro, interviews with masters and countermasters, as well as access to records made in other works on the subject. When we reflect on the historical construction, we observed that, on many occasions, the social representations of capoeira were based on discriminatory and aseptic systems, which devalue the quality of difference, legitimizing severe practices of repression. Thus, in the attempt to value the difference presented by alterity and reflection that lead to openings and new margins to represent and create reality about and with capoeira, we seek to defend a posture based on ethics, which evidences the constructivist basis of knowledge and consider capoeira within its diversity and liveliness.
