SUMMARY:Starlite Terrace: A Contemporary Jungian Novel or\, The Death of th
 e Old King
DESCRIPTION:Starlite Terrace is the Los Angeles apartment building where fo
 ur protagonists live in the eponymous novel by Patrick Roth. Over the cour
 se of a year\, from June 2002 to June 2003\, four residents - Rex\, Moss\,
  Gary\, and June - tell their highly personal stories\, centered on “ave
 rage” people in or past midlife\, whose thoughts\, feelings and actions 
 are influenced to a high degree by movies and the movie industry. In each 
 of their singular collisions with life\, a universal and mythical pattern 
 is gradually revealed which gives these so-called ordinary people a dignit
 y they have long since lost in everyday life. It is the narrator\, a fifth
  protagonist as it were\, who assembles their life shards into four “Hol
 lywood individuation stories\," as Roth calls them.​\n\nIn this lecture 
 we will deal with the first story of the book entitled “The Man at Noah
 ’s Window.”\n​Listen to Patrick Roth reading "The Man at Noah's Wind
 ow"\nThe first part of this program is about the novel itself\, its highly
  Jungian worldview\, its depth psychological approach to events and confli
 cts as they appear in the lives of the Starlite Terrace tenants. In the se
 cond part we will deal with Rex\, “The Man at Noah’s Window\,” an im
 age of a man about to be hit by the onrush of the unconscious. We will tak
 e a closer look at certain themes and associated motifs as they unfold in 
 the story\, for example Rex’s lifelong search for “hands." In his case
 \, it is a brilliant allegory for someone suffering from a father complex.
  We will also consider the significance of the window as a gateway to the 
 world of the objective psyche and\, finally\, we will focus on the major t
 hemes of the flood and the divine storm that grip and transform Rex.\nPurc
 hase Starlite Terrace on Amazon\nMichaela Kopp-Marx\, PhD\, is a professor
  of Modern German Literature at the University of Heidelberg. From 1998 to
  2018\, she directed and organized the Heidelberg Poetics Lectureship. Her
  field of work and research is modern and contemporary literature\, especi
 ally the interrelations between visual art\, film\, and literature (Rilke 
 and Rodin: In Search of the True Way of Writing\, 1999). Her interdiscipli
 nary-hermeneutic approach led her to define the phenomenon of postmodernis
 m through an analysis of typical procedures and aesthetic strategies in li
 terature\, architecture\, and painting from the 1980s to the 2000s (Betwee
 n Petrarch and Madonna:The Novel of Postmodernism\, 2005). In addition to 
 cultural-historical studies of the present\, she is particularly intereste
 d in C. G. Jung’s analytical psychology\, including the theory of archet
 ypes and symbol theory in contemporary literature\, especially in the work
  of Patrick Roth. In addition to interpretive essays and anthologies on Ro
 th’s literature\, she published an annotated new edition of the Christ T
 rilogy (Patrick Roth: The Christus Trilogy with a commentary by Michaela K
 opp-Marx\, 2017). She is in training as a Jungian analyst at the Research 
 and Training Centre for Depth Psychology according to C. G. Jung and Marie
 -Louise von Franz in Zurich and is authorized to conduct control case anal
 yses.\nPurchase Die Christus Trilogie\, in German\, with commentary by Mic
