RECTOR, Mónica. Capoeira: The silent language of gestures. Signo pensam. [online]. 2008, vol.27, n.52, pp.184-194. ISSN 0120-4823.
I intend. to study the Brazilian capoeira from an historic point of view, showing its African heritage and analyzing its meaning from a visual and semantic perspective. It is a sequence of gesture that initially look like a physical exercise, a kind of martial art, but it is really a fight or a dance, depending on the context. Semiotics and kinetics will be used as a framework.
Palavras-chave : Capoeira; dance; body; culture; movement; silence; discourse.
