This conference, led by sociologist and filmmaker Xavier Artigas, will delve into the influential visits of French philosopher Simone Weil to Barcelona during the tumultuous years of 1933 to 1936. At that time, the city was a hotbed of political and social upheaval. Artigas will explore how Weil's interactions with various movements, notably the working class and anarchism, played a crucial role in shaping her political thoughts and philosophical ideologies. The discussion will provide insights into how her experiences in Catalonia profoundly impacted her worldview and her contributions to philosophy and social justice.
