Dissertation discusses the cultural phenomenon of Brazilian capoeira and its Czech and European form. The whole text is divided into two parts, historical and anthropological. After an introduction describing the primarily motivation to study Capoeira we find a treatise on the methods of research and its process, which is related to the linguistic definition of the use of Portuguese terms. The first part of the anthropological section gives the reader an image of historical context of the development of capoeira in Brazil, and subsequently in Europe. Informations in this section are primarily taken from written sources, ie are driven from already explored areas of the theory of capoeira. The description of the European context is followed by a part where the entrance of capoeira into the Czech Republic is described and where the findings from my own research begin to be processed. Text flows into the anthropological treatise on the processes accompanying implantation of the exotic phenomenon in European countries and the reasons that led to it. The last part of the thesis deals with the effects of globalization of capoeira and various influences that changed or evolved the art in the new environment. The work presents the latest findings from the history and present of capoeira in its native Brazil as well as in Europe and is also the first work on the subject in the country.

In my diploma thesis I would like to focus on dance battles events and on the street dance life style as it's the topic of my diploma thesis. I have been very close of the street dance world, as a dancer and an observer, since I witnessed countless dance battles, concerts, camps, workshops and so on - which gave me the knowledge to express myself on this topic and gave my perspective in both ways: from up to the stage and audience. I was always very curios and wanted to share with, such as: how does the street dance events looks like, what's happening there, what kind people attending it, what is the motivation for dancers, djs, choreographers, producers etc…? Where those events are happening and how often is them happening? My curiosity crossed the Czech Republic border, I wanted to know more from outside of my country. I believe that having the knowledge of what's going on abroad gives you power of discuss and compare things with confidence and comfortability. Mainly my research methods were observing and interviewing, then field diaries, video documentation, collecting as much information as possible from people that lives in this world nonstop, which gave me so much knowledge from inside, how they behave, how they communicate, their attitude etc. This scenario always fascinated me and after attending to many events, battles, meetings and jam sessions (as a dancer and observer), I was able to collect different point of views from another dancers, choreographers and guests and compare it with my own thoughts regarding to it, using my countless notes and hours of recording interviews, those tools combined gave me so much information.
