This is the first episode in a six-part series in which I will discuss some of the main chapters in my research and thesis, Coming to Voice through Capoeira: Uncovering Ancestrality and Embodiments of the African Diaspora (2023).
In this episode, I explore Chapter 9.2 of my thesis where I reference Jorge Conceição's book: Capoeira Angola: Educação Pluriétnica Corporal e Ambiental (2009). Conceição beautifully expresses the complexities tied to the body together with the embodiments of nature and our environment. I also give some reflections on N’golo (Zebra fight) as to why it may be one of the predecessors of Capoeira originating in the south of Angola. 🇦🇴
Can we find practical ways to stop reducing ourselves to mechanical operations? Is it possible to become conscious of the ‘natural life’ in the ways we create, live and think?
