Mestres do notório saber: a tradição da oralidade presente nas rodas de capoeira de Santo Amaro no Recôncavo Baiano

Abstract

This dissertation aims to present the results of the master's research undertaken on the tradition of orality, as well as how knowledge is transmitted within the universe of capoeira. In this way, this qualitative research of an exploratory nature, used, among other resources, memory, orality and consequently the narratives and experiences of capoeira masters from Santo Amaro/BA, allowing us to contemplate Afro-centered specificities, characteristics, epistemology and worldview, as well as the trajectories of the masters who masterfully transmit it in this territory. Thus, the present work contributes, through a post-colonial perspective, to reflections which concern the themes focused on the transmission of knowledge through orality present in capoeira circles in Santo Amaro in Recôncavo Baiano.
