This thesis, Body of Leisure: reflections from an injured life in the hypermodernity, represents an exercise of reflection and investigation about leisure as psychosocial phenomenon nowadays. As a reflection, part of the body, as gravity center of subjectivity, takes epistemological reference from some theorists of the first generation of Frankfurt School, the Freudian psychoanalysis and the French scholars who named the present time as hypermodernity. Other thinkers have also permeated these reflections, mainly those who enable the argumentative critical bias. Therefore, as a matter of investigation, a field material in a folder format had its discursive construction around leisure outlined; which forms the analysis object of the qualitative and documental research. In this thesis, the reflection and the investigation complement each other in the comprehension of the articulations of the two main axes, the desire and market spheres, intertwining the notion of body of leisure in hypermodern times, and, in this way, seeking to questioning the hypermodernity as a product and scenery in which the human existence is damaged in its elementary particles of a fair life, which means, damaged in the minimal modes of being and staying in this world. In the field of entertainment, the damaged life is perceived as psychosocial suffering and underlies in the subtle tricks from the marketing leisure activities in expansion in the hypermodernity. This scenery produces new processes of subjectivation, which are also a result from the current leisure practices aimed to consumption, and, for this reason, the leisure acquires trade value in the hypermodern reality. As the body is in the center of the hypermodern scene in expansion among cities, it is the focus of the subjectivation processes for this research. In this way, the body is approached with the tragicomic and erotic-narcissistic notions, besides other developments, in order to place the body of leisure. As a way to explore the thematic, will be presented reflections from the concept of leisure, the initiation of leisure in the modernity, and also the analysis of how it is currently inserted in the market mechanisms orientated by the economic logic which foster the entertainment industry to fulfill the human desires for pleasure as a routine of senses and sensations turned to the body. As an example of this scenery, Barra da Tijuca, in the city of Rio de Janeiro, was chosen as the urban space to perform this research, because, in this neighborhood, the hypermodernity can be spontaneously verified. As the conclusive aspects, the body of leisure, on one hand, seems to be the aim of market interests focus upon profitability and its goals to increase life in the supposed free time, based on emotionality and states of happiness. On the other hand, the captured body is in a reduced and fragmented condition for the same instrumental strategies of speculative capitalism, which encourages modes of subjectivation guided by consumption and ephemeral pleasures. However, this process occurs with the agreement of the subject affect by these strategies, in the same way as this subject itself can affect and determine those strategies, and so, produces its effects in the market schemes. The reflection of this thesis will take place in this gap between subject and market.
