Aviad Heifetz just recently informed me of the publication of his article:
Heifetz, Aviad. 2022. "‘None Enters Here Unless He is a Geometer’: Simone Weil on the Immorality of Algebra." Axiomathes. doi: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10516-022-09628-0.
A search of the Simone Weil Bibliography for keyword mathematics retrieves over 25 references in addition to Aviad's work.
In a blog post in 2019, I noted Weil's influence on Serres. An article on Serres and Weil was just published in Research in Phenomenology:
Oele, Marjolein. 2022. "Dialectics of Silence for a Time of Crisis: Rethinking the Visionary Insights of Michel Serres and Simone Wei." Research in Phenomenology 52 (2):183-202. doi: https://doi.org/10.1163/15691640-12341495.
I have also located two older articles that talk about Serres and Weil:
Serres, Michel, and François L'Yvonnet. 2014. ""Une intensité de lumière": Entretien avec Michel Serres." In Simone Weil, edited by Emmanuel Gabellieri and François L'Yvonnet, 35-39. Paris: L'Herne Editions.
Dufresne, Jacques. 2019. "Michel Serres et Simone Weil: un même combat contre la force." In L'Encyclopédie de L'Agora, edited by Hélène Laberge and Jacques Dufresne. [Ayer's Cliff, Québec] : Agora. : http://agora.qc.ca/documents/michel_serres_et_simone_weil_un_meme_combat_contre_la_force.
Recently an article in the Journal of Aging Studies includes a note about Fanon and Weil. So far I have identified four works that include comments on Franz Fanon and Weil
Colombo, Bruna. 2013. "Penser l’esclavage à partir de l’Iliade." Cahiers Simone Weil 36 (3):211-231.
Higgs, Paul, and Chris Gilleard. 2022. "Is ageism an oppression?" Journal of Aging Studies 62:1-6. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0890406522000548. See page 3 for a brief discussion of Weil and oppression and a comment on her influence on Franz Fanon
Smith, Anthony Paul. 2017. ""To Love Human Beings Insofar as They are Nothing": Deracination and Pessimism in Weil." In Simone Weil and Continental Philosophy, edited by A. Rebecca (Adrian Rebecca) Rozelle-Stone, 205-221. London: Rowman & Littlefield.

Studies in Social Justice 4 (1):25-45. https://journals.library.brocku.ca/index.php/SSJ/article/view/1007/977. A number of references comparing Weil’s thoughts on violence with those of Hannah Arendt, Frantz Fanon, John Glenn Gray and Paul Farmer
An Italian essay comparing Weil and Gentile has recently been published:
De Leo, Daniela, and Gabriella Armenise. 2021. "La missione educativa di Anna Vertua Gentile e Simone Weil: un filosofare scomodo." In Escritoras y personajes femeninos en relación, edited by Daniele Cerrato, 378-392. Madrid: Dykinson.

In April 2022, Bloomsbury is publishing a work by Jeffrey Hanson which includes a chapter on Weil:
Hanson, Jeffrey. 2022. "Simone Weil." In Philosophies of Work in the Platonic Tradition: A History of Labor and Human Flourishing. London: Bloomsbury.
Just identified the first work focussed on Weil and Proust:
Sei, Julia. 2021. "Mystique et introspection psychologique dans les œuvres de Marcel Proust et de Simone Weil." In Expériences mystiques: énonciations, représentations et réécritures, edited by Fanny Arma, Riccardo Raimondo and Grégory Jouanneau-Damance, 281-298. Paris: Classiques Garnier.
Just discovered this 2021 open access German work on Weil and the Upanishads by Martina Bengert:
Bengert, Martina. 2021. "Die Seele als ,Zwischen“. Simone Weils Lesarten der Upanishaden " In Mystique et psychisme: une approche interculturelle = Mystik und Psyche in interkultureller Perspektive, edited by Christine Maillard and Sonia Goldblum, 123-136. Strasbourg: Presses Universitaires de Strasbourg. https://journals.openedition.org/rg/5978
A search on the Simone Weil Bibliography for Upanishads currently reveals 7 other entries.
Nunez's 2020 novel What Are You Going Through, begins with a quote from Simone Weil. That same year Tara Menon published an article on Nunez that includes considerable discussion of Weil's influence on Nunez's writings.
Menon, Tara K. 2020. "The Steadfast Attention of Sigrid Nunez." Sewanee Review 128 (4):640-665.
Over the years I am been amazed at the number of works that are focussed on Weil, but a first glance at the title does not reveal the rich content. Just added such an example to the Simone Weil Bibliography. The work below by Boulting is focussed on Weil's philosophy, epistemology and ontology.
Boulting, Noel E. 2021. "Intentionalism and God’s Fiction." Journal for Cultural and Religious Theory 20 (2):302-317. https://jcrt.org/archives/20.3/Boulting.pdf
After a rather lengthy hiatus, I am back to updating the Simone Weil Bibliography. Over 50 new records should be uploaded to the Simone Weil Bibliography by the end of January.
Please note that the Bibliography is also available via Zotero . The Zotero version allows you to select records for printing or exporting.
I have recently connected with Ron Collins the creator of the new e-journal ATTENTION which launched last May. This is a great resource for finding information on Weil. It has been wonderful meeting Ron and I look forward to our future collaborations.
