The objective of this work is to understand the persecution and criminalization of capoeira and ―capoeiragem‖ in the city of Rio de Janeiro during the First Republic - from 1889, when it was proclaimed, until 1909, when we perceived an embryonic change in the conception of capoeira, since it begins to be conceived as a sport. Through the analysis of literary works, newspaper reports, illustrations, cartoons, decrees and speeches of important personalities, we sought to understand how capoeira was inserted in the daily life of the city of Rio de Janeiro during the studied period, as well as to visualize some of the characters and persons who practiced it and their living conditions. ―Capoeiragem‖ was considered a legacy left by the Empire against which the Republicans should fight, and so at various moments in our work we also return to the characteristics of the imperial period, as well as the relation of the monarchical and political elites to the ends of the century with ―capoeiragem‖. Conceptions regarding the use of objective and subjective territory, the reorganization of the city at a time of profound changes - transition from Monarchy to Republic, end of black enslavement, rise of capitalism in Brazil, arrival of European immigrants - are essential in our study, in addition to public policies aimed at disciplining bodies and social control, culminating in resistances such as the Vaccine Revolt. Theories regarding micro-powers and power relations, as well as racial aspects, the construction of identities, representations and discourses are essential for the development of our study.
