Capoeira / Capoeira

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.
