This chapter addresses some of the more hidden aspects of being a foreign researcher-practitioner of capoeira Angola in Brazil. The aim is twofold: to show how instances of conflict or tension can illuminate deeper ethical and political problems and to reveal how capoeira generates tools and concepts for grappling with these problems. Ultimately, I propose that the concept of compromisso, as taught by Mestre Cláudio in his group, the Angoleiros do Sertão, can orient relational ethics within and beyond capoeira practice.

摘要

This chapter addresses some of the more hidden aspects of being a foreign researcher-practitioner of capoeira Angola in Brazil. The aim is twofold: to show how instances of conflict or tension can illuminate deeper ethical and political problems and to reveal how capoeira generates tools and concepts for grappling with these problems. Ultimately, I propose that the concept of compromisso, as taught by Mestre Cláudio in his group, the Angoleiros do Sertão, can orient relational ethics within and beyond capoeira practice.
