Malandro

Downey raamatut uurides leidsin veel huvitavat 118-ndalt lehelt alates:

The stereotypical malandro dwells outside respectable society, without morals, forming no lasting alliances and taking up no long-term causes. Not a revolutionary, he lives emphatically in the present and exhibits little interest in changing the institutions and inequalities that he confronts in everyday life. Instead, he is content to carve out a small space of opportunity through deception, quick wits, and his consummate survivalist skills, reveling in the constant challenge of malandragem, or sly "roguery" (DaMatta, 1991).

[...]

Capoeira, however, has long been considered to be the malandro science, a technology to cultivate a person's cunning (cf. Moura 1980b; Vieira 1990; Barbieiri 1993).


Meenuvad Castaneda ja Coelho sõdalased - kes tahab, võib võrrelda.
