The aim of this text is mapping and reflecting on the third generation of Brazilian researchers in gender psychology, doing an articulation with the integration of masculinities studies and queer studies on these groups of research. This generation, to which the authors of this paper belong, consists of groups of researchers already enrolled in an organized field, in which they use the gender category, concept recognized in the social sciences and humanities a long time ago. It is important to take into account that one of the main roles of this generation has been spreading and deepening the achievements, both theoretical and methodological, attained by earlier generations. In general, we can state that the third generation reflects the current value of plurality, the appreciation of new subjects on the feminism field on Brazil, bringing topics for research focused on the search for legitimacy in the new configurations of the Brazilian feminist movement.

This article discusses the relationships between the corporeality and the subjectivity of young people from low-income urban contexts of Florianopolis, in southern Brazil, as part of multi-centered research work conducted in five Brazilian capitals on the exercise of young people's sexual and reproductive rights, which included 18 interviews and eight focus groups, discriminated by sex and age ranges. In the stories of male and female youths it was possible to discern a great concern with their body image, following a standard national pattern of middle and urban socio-economic levels, according to which a "worked out" body is a healthy body. Considering bodies as symbols that validate and signify subjects, it is important to highlight the significant influence of gender and class markers in the "training of bodies", defining and redefining social relations and the meanings given by young people to corporeality and their ways of doing things in the world.
