Capoeira dialogism: the body and the game of meaning

This study aims to discuss the body and its implications in Capoeira, a vision of bringing it to the area of Physical Education. From a literature search, we try to relate the practice of Capoeira with the idea of the game as a corporal dialogue, since we could not find any study relating the game of Capoeira as a dialogue. To this end, attempts to discuss the relations between the meanings of the social body, relating it to what we call "capoeira body". Capoeira body is explained by the metaphor of "several bodies", where we build the idea of corporal dialogue as a process. We seek to identify the dialogical construction of capoeira body through processes that permeate the game inside the wheel of capoeira. We understand that the considerations obtained at the end of this study can be considered as a starting point for the discussion of Capoeira, and especially of its game.
