RESUMO

The present study has in its scope the discussion on the representations of the body in the current society. To that end, we present two major theoretical aspects on the subject. A first discussion group links the body to the idea of object, as it was build and shaped by the culture. A second discussion group presents it as the subject, identity. In the social representation study it will be presented the results of the qualitative research, conducted with the combination of interviews, group discussion and participant observation. The empiric researches were conducted with university students and teachers in Juiz de Fora, MG, and remarks made in two gym academies in Juiz de Fora as well. We believe that studying the body is revealing much of the face, the paradoxes and worries of our current social context
