Abstract
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.Almeida, B. (1981), Capoeira, a Brazilian Art Form, Palo Alto, Sun Wave.
