Abstract
Summary Volker Nies, Protestant theologian and theatre pedagogue, deals with the role of body and language in TCI and criticizes the dominance of language orientation. He compares the use of body-oriented methods in TCI and drama pedagogy of K. Stanislawski’s theory of acting. He briefly presents the body-soul problem in the history of European philosophy in contrast to the anthropology of the Old Testament. He describes the ambivalence of man in the tension between »having a body« and »being a body« in reference to H. Plessner. He introduces the concept of »corporeality« of the »New Phenomenology « by H. Schmitz. With the term »embodiment« he sketches a current development in psychology, which emphasizes the immediate bodybound nature of all psychological processes and consciousness. Using the empirical example of a TCI course sequence, he illustrates his understanding of successful body-centered TCI work.
