The theorical research was developed upon three main subjects: dance - specifically ballet, identity and embodiment. There are many studies with cognitiverepresentational perspective at the fields of Anthropology, Sociology and at Organisational Research and Management that deny the development of a theorical ground envolving the body and its embodied analysis as a methodological and epistemological resource to comprehend identity. Far from representational, there is an analysis dimension named embodiment, that conceives the body as the center of formation of the people lived world and pratice, builded historically and culturally by their bodily perceptions. In this perspective theories of embodiment such as phenomenology, feminist, of practice, postmodern and cultural, recognize the body as locus of multiple social activities. Therefore the importance of inclusion of analysis of embodiment at identity studies, as it is impossible to think organizations as before or transcendent of human beings. To investigate the subject of identity in a Dance Company through the body (dancer) as a methodological and epistemological resource has been made a qualitative empirical research through ethnography, named here as embodied ethnography. It was based in a field diary, interviews and documents. Living the ethnographic method made me include analysis categories of the body (dancer) in relation with space, time, weight, sthrenght, movement dynamics, voice, senses hearing, vision, touch, taste, smell, an ethnography guided by the senses and emotions of the researched bodies specially the dancers- in training, rehearsals and performances. This embodied etnography resulted in discussions upon: the Identity Organisational Theory, about embodied identity at organizations; theorical-methodologic, about embodied etnography; an specific empyrical-management subject at this Dance Company, by the perspective of institutional identity; and at the social empirical subject, about contributions of identity to the field of dance at a globalized context of mass culture. Therefore all these subjects have potential to be explored in future research. / Nesta disserta??o investiguei a identidade nas organiza??es, especificamente como a identidade f?sica, pessoal, institucional e espiritual s?o corporalmente vivenciadas (embodied) pelos bailarinos em uma Companhia de Dan?a. O embasamento te?rico se constitui sobre tr?s pilares principais: a dan?a e o ballet, a identidade e o embodiment. Na Antropologia, na Sociologia, e nos Estudos Organizacionais e de Administra??o existem diversas abordagens de base cognitiva-representacional que ignoram o corpo e sua an?lise embodied como recurso metodol?gico e epistemol?gico para uma compreens?o da identidade. Longe de ser uma an?lise representacional do mundo, o embodiment considera o corpo como o centro de forma??o da viv?ncia das pessoas no mundo da pr?tica. O mundo, nesse contexto, ? compreendido como algo constru?do hist?rico e culturalmente pelas percep??es corporais. Neste sentido as perspectivas te?ricas do embodiment a fenomenol?gica, a feminista, a da pr?tica, as p?s-modernas e a cultural reconhecem o corpo como locus de m?ltiplas atividades sociais. Da? a import?ncia da inclus?o da an?lise do embodiment nos estudos de identidade nas organiza??es, j? que n?o se pode pensar as organiza??es como anteriores ou transcendentes aos corpos humanos. Para investigar quest?es de identidade na Companhia de Dan?a, realizei uma pesquisa emp?rica qualitativa, etnogr?fica, aqui denominada como etnografia embodied. Isso por que a viv?ncia do m?todo etnogr?fico baseada em di?rio de campo, entrevistas e material documental incluiu em suas categorias de an?lise o corpo (bailarino) e sua rela??o com o espa?o, o tempo, o peso, a for?a, a din?mica do movimento, a voz, os cinco sentidos, ou seja, uma etnografia guiada pela experi?ncia dos corpos dos pesquisados, principalmente os bailarinos em rela??o aos treinos, ensaios e espet?culos. Esta etnografia embodied proporcionou discuss?es com potencial para pesquisas futuras: na Teoria da Identidade nas Organiza??es, sobre a identidade embodied nas organiza??es; na abordagem metodol?gica, sobre uma etnografia embodied; na quest?o gerencial emp?rica da Companhia de Dan?a pesquisada, sobre a perspectiva da identidade institucional; e na quest?o sociol?gica, sobre a identidade no campo da dan?a, no contexto globalizado da cultura de massa.
