This dissertation focuses on the tension between body and medium, which, especially with the advent of Web 2.0 and social media, has become the connective starting point of the other. The user's body plays a decisive role in front of and on the screen. Based on the basic assumption that all people have a body, that everything that this body consciously perceives is medially conveyed and that each medium in turn targets precisely this body, it is not only important to describe the similarity of body and medium, but also at the same time to think of mediality from a bodily basis. For this purpose, the body is divided into three parts, medially induced and physically felt, into an offline, an online and an onlife body. This shows that a development is currently taking place in which the originally intended areas body and medium are increasingly merging with one another, resulting in a new type of postal body or postal media. The operator providing perspective is the human body and its function as the basis for shaping and media processes. The work also sees itself as a plea for more openness regarding the boundary between offline and online, the essential meaning of the body and a (psycho) somatic media theory, the effects of which need to be determined with a direct focus on society.
