Lecture with Paula Macedo Weiß

Six days after the first moon landing, Paula Macedo Weiß was born in Brazil, her family belonging to the country's politically engaged middle class. As a young woman, she goes to Germany to study law and becomes a successful lawyer. When she started her own family with four children, she gave up her profession as a lawyer and devoted herself extensively to cultural issues in Frankfurt, where she lives, as well as in larger contexts and institutions. Her books are an expression of a social alertness and a "sense of community" whose dissemination would be highly desirable.
