Live and act

Michaela Kopp-Marx studied art history, German literature and history at the University of Heidelberg. In addition to her studies, she worked as a freelancer in the museum education service of the Kunsthalle Mannheim and completed her "Master of Arts" in 1993 in the "German Literature" department at Dalhousie University in Halifax / Nova Scotia . She received her doctorate in 1997 with a thesis on "Rilke and Rodin" and until 2007 she was a research assistant and senior assistant at the German Department of Heidelberg University. During this time she lived in the Collini skyscraper in Mannheim. The habilitation took place in 2003 with a study on the novel of postmodernism in the Department of Modern German Literature . In 2007/08 she was visiting professor at the University of Hildesheim at the Institute for Creative Writing and Cultural Journalism.

One of the central areas of work and research of Michaela Kopp-Marx is the interrelationships between the visual arts and literature. Her interdisciplinary - hermeneutic approach led her to determine the phenomenon of postmodernism based on an analysis of typical processes and strategies in literature, architecture and painting from the 1980s to 2000s ("Between Petrarca and Madonna", 2005). In addition to intermedia work analyzes and cultural-historical studies of the present, she is particularly interested in archetypal structures and symbols in the sense of the school of CG Jung in literature, especially in the work of Patrick Roth .
