This dissertation focuses on relations between African-Brazilian capoeira angola and Russian bodies. The study is an outcome of ethnographic research. Participant observation and interviews were carried out in Russia between 2012 and 2016. Feminist theories, anthropology of body and dance, phenomenology and new materialism are the main theoretical perspectives. Russian bodies and capoeira angola relate to each other in ways that both follow and defy the logic of late capitalist patriarchy. Near Fine. Item #3617
