The purpose of the research was to analyze the body representations of a group of high school students at Colégio Pedro II. The study was carried out with 77 students from regular and integrated high school at Colégio Pedro II - Campus São Cristóvão III. The tools used for data collection were an online survey questionnaire and focus group, with analysis based on the Meaning Interpretation Method, privileging the dialog with the sociological approach of Zygmunt Bauman. The developed analysis showed, in line with the baumanian argument surrounding privatization and consumption processes, that students have ambivalent bodily identities, in other words, their understandings about the body are fluid, due to individual accountability strategies around decisions about the body, which were influenced, in the scope of this research, by educational actions present in the institution in focus and by media influences.
