Palliative care

 I am continually impressed by the breadth of interest in Weil.   There is a just published article by Aldis Petriceks on Weil entitled " A negative Effort: Simone Weil and the Ethics of Attention in Palliative Care in the journal Palliative & Supportive Care.  In this article Petriceks notes "  her writings on attention merit no less analysis from the modern palliative care clinician."

Bibliography update

After a very long hiatus again I am back to updating the online Simone Weil Bibliography.   I have over 90 new items ready and will be adding them over the next few months.  Publication rate for works on Weil seems to increase every year!

Weil and mathematics

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. 

Michel Serres and Weil

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. 

Fanon and Weil

 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

A number of  references comparing Weil’s thoughts on violence with those of Hannah Arendt, Frantz Fanon,  John Glenn Gray and Paul Farmer
