Artaud and Weil

Just last month an article by Yves Schulze comparing Weil and Artaud appeared in Modern & Contemporary France in the early articles posted online, entitled " Prendre sur soi : Cruauté et charité dans l’écriture d’Antonin Artaud et de Simone Weil", DOI: 10.1080/09639489.2020.1749582.

While in an earlier blog post on Weil and Judaism I mentioned the work by Lotringer, I have discovered a few other works comparing Artaud and Weil:


Chiappone, Francis. 2005. Review of Les Promesses de l’oeuvre, Artaud, Nietzsche, Simone Weil, by Jean Michel Rey. Cahiers Simone Weil 28 (3):310-312.
Garcia Vila, Antonio. 2013. "Espectros de Artaud."  El Viejo Topo 301:48-61.
Lotringer, Sylvère. 2003. "Artaud était-il chrétien?" In Fous d'Artaud, 13-38. Paris: Sens and Tonka.  Extensive discussion comparing  Artuad's and Weil's relationship to Judaism and Christianity
Rey, Jean-Michel. 2003. Les promesses de l'oeuvre : Artaud, Nietzsche, Simone Weil. Paris: Desclée De Brouwer.
