Starting from the enigmatic nature of the body, various dimensions of corporeality are initially explored, such as sensation and perception, spatial orientation and movement, spontaneity and habit, as well as the expression and language of the body. The anti-Cartesian approach methodically leads to an intertwining of the natural and the cultural, of one's own body and that of others. This opens up perspectives for a theory of generativity and for a polymorphism of the gendered body, beyond naturalism and constructivism. In the end, there is a glimpse of a bodily responsorium and a corresponding ethos of the senses. The lectures draw on the phenomenology of the body by Husserl, Scheler, Plessner, and especially Merleau-Ponty, as well as on Gestalt theory, behavioral research, medical anthropology, and pathology. At the same time, bridges are built.
