It was used the social memory as a reflexive analytical tool to better understand the formation processes of identities in a nation. The text brings the different constructive memories of aspects of Brazilian "capoeira" in dialogue with its recent record as an intangible cultural heritage of Brazil.  a0104754X (ISSN)
