Abstract

This study aimed to identify the presence of bodily practices in a quilombola community in the southwest of the state of Goiás. Body practices were developed by human beings over historical time, allowing the development of body and cultural potential. The culture of the quilombolas is directly linked to the history of slavery and perversity suffered by blacks from Africa, who, in their diaspora, brought with them customs and beliefs that were translated into the movement of their bodies: dance, sport, play, games and music. For the development of this work, bibliographic research was carried out in order to deepen the understanding of the historical-cultural context of black communities and to support the analysis. A semi-structured interview was also carried out with a member of the quilombola community of Cedro. The bibliographic research and the interview made it possible to analyze the information in the light of the theoretical framework adopted. It was observed that the practice of sports and dance, in addition to making traditions present, is the main tool for exposing and integrating the community with society, causing feelings of satisfaction and belonging.
