商品描述

In the past two and a half decades, capoeira has experienced a remarkable global expansion. However, it's challenging to quantify its full extent. This book aims to explore the diverse reconfigurations and resignifications that capoeira has undergone in the new millennium. It brings together a diverse group of experts from various disciplines, including anthropology, history, ethnomusicology, political science, and social activism. One of the book's primary objectives is to examine capoeira's recent resurgence in Africa, where various countries across the continent have witnessed significant practical and ritual innovations. Additionally, the book delves into capoeira's role as a tool of political discourse and activism in Brazil, the United States, and beyond, and how it has been instrumental in supporting causes advocating for ethnic minorities in Europe and the Middle East. As an art deeply rooted in its African ancestral past, capoeira's adoption by groups in diverse locations like Ghana, Togo, Benin, Guinea Bissau, Nigeria, and Angola, demonstrates a revitalization that has yet to be fully explored in capoeira studies. This book seeks to revisit this expansive movement while always keeping its impact in Brazil in mind.The collected texts provide a comprehensive overview of capoeira's global status, the new territories it has conquered, and its power as an art of resistance. In this context, the concept of resistance becomes crucial in understanding its significance and current influence on the world.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在過去的二十五年中,卡波耶拉(capoeira)經歷了顯著的全球擴展。然而,量化其完整範圍卻是一項挑戰。本書旨在探討卡波耶拉在新千年中所經歷的多樣重構和再意義化。它匯集了來自人類學、歷史學、民族音樂學、政治學和社會運動等多個學科的專家。該書的主要目標之一是檢視卡波耶拉在非洲的近期復甦,該大陸的多個國家見證了顯著的實踐和儀式創新。此外,本書深入探討卡波耶拉在巴西、美國及其他地區作為政治話語和社會運動工具的角色,以及它如何在支持倡導歐洲和中東的少數民族權益的運動中發揮了重要作用。作為一種深深植根於其非洲祖先過去的藝術,卡波耶拉在加納、托哥、貝南、幾內亞比索、尼日利亞和安哥拉等多個地區的群體中被採納,顯示出一種尚未在卡波耶拉研究中充分探討的復興。本書旨在重新審視這一廣泛運動,同時始終考慮其在巴西的影響。所收集的文本提供了卡波耶拉全球地位的全面概述,所征服的新領土,以及其作為抵抗藝術的力量。在這個背景下,抵抗的概念在理解其重要性和當前對世界的影響時變得至關重要。
