Lissa McCullough has recently written an article entitled: "Simone Weil’s Phenomenology of the Body." Comparative and Continental Philosophy 4.2 (2012): 195-218. In it she compares Weil's thoughts on the body to those of Merleau-Ponty.
She also has a forthcoming book on Simone Weil - Religious Philosophy of Simone Weil. Tauris, 2014.

Weil and Hinduism
Simone Weil and Hinduism was an area of interest to the co-creator of this bibliography, Debra Jensen, who very sadly passed away just over a year ago. She wrote her MA thesis and published an article on this subject:
- Debra Joanne Jensen, "Simone Weil, the Gita and the Upanishads," M.A., University of Calgary (Canada), 1989.
- Debra Joanne Jensen, "Soteriology from a Christian and Hindu Perspective," Journal of Dharma 14.4 (1989): 353-365.
In a recent issue of Cahiers Simone Weil 36.1 (2013): 31-42, Mac Ballanfat has an extensive article on Weil's interest in Hinduism entitled "Ce que voit Simone Weil dans le miroir de l'Inde ou la vérité du désir."
Other works I have collected on Weil and Hinduism include:
- Bingemer, Maria Clara L. "War, suffering and detachment: reading the Bhagavad Gītā with Simone Weil " Song divine : Christian commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita. Ed. Cornille, Catherine. Christian commentaries on non-Christian sacred texts. Leuven: Peeters, 2006. 69-89.

René Girard
The discovery of a fairly recent article by O'Regan in Modern Theology which highlights connections between Simone and Girard led me to search my database for works on Girard and Simone and discovered a fair number:

Viktor Frankl
Just tripped across an older work on Frankl and Simone: Kühn, Rolf. " La vie affective en psychologie et en philosopie. L'apport de Viktor E. Frankl et de Simone Weil a une théorie thérapeutique du sentiment " Revue des Sciences Philosophiques et Théologique 69 (1988): 521-62.
I am in the process of verifying that these two works also contain information on Frankl and Simone:
Kühn, Rolf. "La mélancholie est encore une bonne humeur " Actualités psychiatriques 1 (1995) : 7-9.
Kühn, Rolf. " Existence et affectivité " Radicalité et passibilité. Pour une phénoménologie pratique. Paris: L'Harmattan, 2003. 165-90.
