This study part of the beginning of totality of the phenomena and it privileges the
aesthetic analyses of the capoeira game, which only allows the comprehension witr the
knowledge the whole symbolic universe. To understand the whole, it’s necessary to
thoroughly know the parts that constitute the universe capoeira. In this research it’s tried
to settle down a dialogue among heterogeneous worlds concerning the capoeira with the
academic middle. For that, it start from of the popular knowledge of the capoeira and your
practices in UFSC in association theoretical knowledge and laboratorial analyses without
the intention of hierarchy those know. Hedge it’s , ed in anthropologists Clifford Geertz's
theory and Marcel Mauss the theoretical justification for the possibility of crossing
knowledge epistemologicajy different, that already act in the daily of a person who
tractices capoeira. Like this, it analyzes and describes the universe of the capoeira game
of the starting from theoretical referencial and filmings classes of capoeira of three
existent groups in UFSC. It was led, also, a biomechanics analysis of situations of games
through cinemetria resources, considering for this, at the same time, the ethical and
aesthetic elements that constitute each capoeira wheel. With the direct contact of the
produced data the noticed the human greatness to create and to create again the
practices social, pedagogic, artistic and cultural. Aesthetic the differences, methodological
and prepositional among the groups are maintained without any hierarchzation or some
discrimination type, are sought yes to understand them starting from the spaces social .
Through the accomplished analyses, it can affirm that the configuration space-storm
shows likeness among the studied groups. However, it is observed that those differences
are present in the anthropological context of the game, that involves since the formation of
the wheel, the song, the touches of Jew's harps and the corporalidade there lived. The
gestures, the technique of each style is different and recognizable with the naked eye, in
spite of the likeness of your physical characteristics, when approached separately. From
the participant observation it is noticed that all the groups maintain what is considered
tradition in the capoeira, fundamental elements in the constitution of the capoeira wheel
that you/they are modified and stylized by each participant in agreement with the social
and cultural contexts where lives, however it is traditional in your content, in elements that
supply identity to the manifestation capoeira.
