Eu vou falar pra dendê tem homem e tem mulher: o feminismo angoleiro e as mudanças na tradição. 2018. 123f.

To analyze this political scenario, the research focuses on the Nzinga group of Capoeira Angola, founded by Ms. Janja in the city of SalvadorBA. A pioneer in the debate on the place of women in capoeira, the group presents two women in leadership, which differentiates it from the great majority of the groups in Brazil. The phenomenon was observed during the meetings of capoeirista women and a field research was carried out between 2014 and 2018, following the activities of the Nzinga group, in particular the Iemanjá party and the “Chamada de Mulher” in the city of Salvador-BA. From the analysis of the trajectory of the group, a reflection was made on the construction of the Angolan feminism as a recent phenomenon in the history of capoeira. We sought to identify the dissemination of a feminist ginga, the development of new forms of contestation and denunciation related to the gender inequalities present in capoeira. Strategies to address women's resistance in a male universe have made capoeira a political weapon and a powerful tool for women's empowerment.Acesso AbertoCapoeira angolaMulherTradiçãoEmpoderamentoFeminismo angoleirodoctoralThesisCNPQ::OUTROS::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS
