In this article, we rethink the ways that analysis within narrative research might occur based on the topic being studied and provide an example using the Afro-Brazilian martial art capoeira. Locating our work at the intersection of Derridean freeplay and the spirit of play present in the Afro-Brazilian martial art capoeira, we reconceive of the ways that narratives may be constructed, and suggest that the topic under study, capoeira, may actually become an analytic. This piece offers one of many potential directions for rethinking analysis of narrative data and representing participant experiences and suggests blurring lines between content and method of analysis. While our own analysis occurs using play as it appears in capoeira, we suggest that any number of research topics may be used to inform the ways that we analyze data.

在本文中，我们根据所研究的主题重新思考叙事研究中的分析方式，并提供了一个使用非洲裔巴西武术卡波耶拉的例子。将我们的工作定位在德里德式的自由游戏和非洲裔巴西武术卡波耶拉中存在的游戏精神的交叉点上，我们重新构思了叙事的构建方式，并建议所研究的主题卡波耶拉实际上可能成为一种分析. 这篇文章提供了重新思考叙事数据分析和表现参与者体验的许多潜在方向之一，并建议了内容和分析方法之间的模糊界限。虽然我们自己的分析是使用卡波耶拉中出现的游戏进行的，但我们建议可以使用任意数量的研究主题来告知我们分析数据的方式。
