“…The "pegar na deixa" [pick up the rhyme from the last verse of the other] and oration impel the poetic creation to dialog, both between the cantadores as well as between them and the audience. They also have an ethical dimension (Travassos 2000), because the first inhibits the use of memorized verses, and the second makes it improper to escape the themes proposed by partners and listeners. Therefore, more than poetic formalities, these norms express ideas and judgments about the standards of interaction of making poetry.…”

“…I emphasize "knowledge" or experience, which provide information about origin and various forms of content that the poet should accumulate to be able to use when improvising. In the cantoria, there is a strong appreciation for intellectual work opposed to physical labor (Travassos 2000), which Sérgio Buarque de Holanda 2002 Even to observe rules of cantoria, knowledge is needed about the so-called "norma culta" of the Portuguese language. In addition, given that cantoria is an agonistic art, the poet must be prepared to confront its clashes.…”

“…Die Idee des musikalischen Wettstreits ist in der Kultur Brasiliens erstaunlich präsent. Beispielsweise versuchen beim im Nordosten Brasiliens beheimateten cantoria zwei Sänger sich in ihrem Gitarrenspiel und vor allem in der Kunst ihrer improvisierten Verse gegenseitig zu übertrumpfen (Travassos 2000). Noch klarer sticht der Wettbewerbsgedanke beim Karneval in Rio hervor und dies gleich in mehrfacher Hinsicht.…”

“…A posição de inferioridade social do oponente é explorada impiedosamente por Romano, que termina por enganar o adversário com o que atualmente seria considerado um "golpe baixo" ao final 92 , invocando "ciência" quando o oponente já havia avisado que não trazia este arsenal consigo: "'Seu' Romano eu só garanto / É que ciência não tenho". 92 Neste ponto, discordo da interpretação de Travassos (2000) de que há mera "oposição" entre Romano e Ignacio, entre homem branco e homem negro e que isto de alguma forma teria licenciado Romano a cantar a famosa estrofe de "ciência" que dá cabo do duelo. Independente da condição social de cada um, o que vemos ali é um conflito entre dois autores-personagens (v. Dêixis do Duelo de Cantoria, p. 90).…”

“…Ou seja, ambos os autores-personagens habitam e compartilham o mesmo mundo real, mas fazem construções simbólicas diferentes dele. Por fim, discordo também do motivo para o final do duelo, em que Travassos (2000) cita DaMatta (1983) para atribuir este final abrupto ao fato de Romano recorrer à noção de hierarquia social para calar Ignacio. Creio que o que ocorreu ali é que Romano simplesmente utilizou-se de uma vantagem estratégica que sabia possuir sobre o adversário (a "ciência") e, quebrando as regras do jogo, talvez na ânsia de sair-se vencedor e salvar sua face perante os seus (e portanto, evitando a qualquer custo diminuir seu status intra-grupo), desferiu um golpe ilícito para finalizar o duelo.…”
