Violence and Vulnerability in Simone Weil

The Seminari Filosofia i Gènere—ADHUC organizes the first Weilian Seminar with the title “Violence and Vulnerability in Simone Weil”. This seminar is the result of the research done by the Weilian Reading Group during the last two years; the group meets regularly to analyze texts written by Simone Weil. Group members will present the result of this work in a series of papers distributed in two groups and will focus in the works Weil wrote in Marseille, New York and London. In addition, two acknowledged experts in Simone Weil, Josep Otón and Alejandro del Río Herrmann, will present a lecture. This activity is part of the project “Vulnerability in Women’s Philosophical Thought. Contributions to the Debate around Present Emergencies”, PGC2018-094463-B-100 (MCIU/AEI/FEDER, UE).

There has been a change in location and the Seminar will finally take place at the Sala d’actes of the Edifici Jeroni Granell, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 582, 08011 – Barcelona.
