Special issue of Testimonianze devoted to Simone

The 2010 issue 468-469 of the Italian journal Testimonianze contains 12 articles by key Italian Simone Weil Scholars. Three of the articles are available fulltext

Bibliography on the Web significantly updated

I have added 1,000 records to the Simone Weil Bibliography. Brings the total to approximately 1600 records.

Australia provides good index to material on Simone

Search Trove (produced by the National Library of Australia) for Simone Weil as a subject and you will locate almost 200 articles on Simone including very recent ones such as:

MacMillen, Sarah L. " Faith Beyond Optimism: Simone Weil, Hannah Arendt, and Gillian Rose." Philosophy and Theology 23.2 (2011): 257-267.

Verbin, N. "Martyrdom: A Philosophical Perspective." Philosophical Investigations 35.1 (2012): 68-87. See section II "Afflictions of Love" pages 82-87

Creating lists on WorldCat.org

I note that Ulla Holm has created a list on Worldcat of works on Simone Weil. If you create a free acount on Worldcat you can "watch this list". It is called Weiliana

I have also created a list called Simone Weil that links to works on Simone published since 1995. BUT until there is an easier way than moving 10 records at a time, this list will remain incomplete - currently 70 of 687 items!

Swedish Publications on Simone

I note that my database of over 2500 works only includes 6 items written in Swedish. This is an area in which I will need to do my digging! Just noticed the following 2011 Swedish work:

Henning, Peter. "Avskapelsens estetik. Om representationskritikens förhandlingar i Lars Noréns En dramatikers dagbok (The Subject’s Detachment and the Return of the Real. Towards an Aesthetically and Performance Oriented Understanding of Lars Norén’s Journal ) " Tidskrift för litteraturvetenskap 11.1 (2011): 55-65.

2012 works

Here are a couple of 2012 works that I have just located through a search of our discovery service, Summon:

Simone Weil and Animality

Anat Pick has informed me that her new work _Creaturely Poetics: Animality and Vulnerability in Literature and Film has recently been published by Columbia University Press.

"The book draws on Weil's philosophical and theological thinking to explore questions about animality, humanity, and ethics. Weil is the central presence in the book".
