Podcasts about Beauvoir

Harriett Gilbert talks with Michelle De Kretser about her 8th novel, and winner the 2023 Rathbones Folio Fiction Prize 'Scary Monsters'. This diptych novel consists of the tale of two immigrants, one in the past, and one in a dystopian future that seems all too possible. Which story to start with? That's the reader's decision. In the past, Lili. Her family migrated to Australia from Asia when she was a child. Now, in the 1980s, she teaches in Montpellier, in the south of France. Her life revolves around her desires to carve out a space for herself in ‘le centre historique', and become a great woman like Simone de Beauvoir. She tries to make friends, observes the treatment of other immigrants to France who don't have the shield of an Australian passport, and continually has to dodge her creepy downstairs neighbour, as stories of serial killers dominate news headlines. In the future, Lyle works for a government department in near-future Australia where Islam has been banned, a pandemic has only recently passed, and the elderly are encouraged to take advantage of ‘The Amendment' - a law that allows, if not encourages, assisted suicide. An Asian migrant, Lyle is terrified of repatriation and spends all his energy on embracing 'Australian values' - which in this future involve rampant consumerism, an obsession with the real estate market, and never mentioning the environmental catastrophe even as wildfires choke the air with a permanent smoke cloud. He's also preoccupied by his callously ambitious wife, his rebellious children and his elderly mother who refuses to capitulate to his desperate desire to invisibly blend in with society. We love it, not just because of the playful dual structure, but because Michelle's writing tackles the monsters - racism, misogyny, ageism - with keen observations and biting humour, shining a light not just on how society treats newcomers, but how we relate to our idea of our shared history, and what kind of future will be built from the world we live in now.

VIII En la Francia de entreguerras, en un pequeño rincón de Le Mans, se gestó una historia que con el paso del tiempo se convertiría en uno de los casos más perturbadores y enigmáticos del siglo XX. Una historia que, a pesar de haber sido juzgada y archivada hace casi un siglo, continúa inquietando a estudiosos, criminólogos, psicoanalistas y artistas por igual. Lo que sucedió aquella tarde de febrero no solo sacudió a una ciudad entera, sino que sacó a la luz la fragilidad del alma humana y las tensiones invisibles que pueden incubarse en el silencio de un hogar. El relato gira en torno a dos hermanas: Christine y Léa Papin. Huérfanas desde jóvenes, ambas ingresaron muy pronto en el mundo del servicio doméstico, encontrando finalmente empleo en una casa de aspecto burgués, habitada por una familia aparentemente respetable. Durante años, cumplieron sus labores con una disciplina casi mecánica, sin mayores sobresaltos. Pero bajo esa superficie tranquila, se tejía una red densa de emociones contenidas, sumisión, rigidez y aislamiento. La casa en la que trabajaban, si bien estable y ordenada hacia afuera, era una olla de presión. Las hermanas, especialmente Christine, mostraban una relación intensa, cerrada sobre sí misma, en la que los vínculos familiares se entrelazaban con una dependencia emocional casi absoluta. Léa, más joven, seguía a su hermana mayor con una devoción que iba más allá del simple lazo de sangre. Nadie en la casa parecía ver el abismo que se formaba entre las hermanas y el mundo exterior. El caso, que capturó la atención de la prensa nacional y luego internacional, generó un torrente de interpretaciones. ¿Fue un acto de locura súbita? ¿Una rebelión contra la opresión de clase? ¿O el estallido inevitable de una mente fracturada por años de servidumbre, silencio y dolor? El juicio fue breve, pero el eco de sus implicaciones resonó durante décadas. Filósofos como Jean-Paul Sartre, escritores como Simone de Beauvoir y directores como Jean Genet encontrarían en este caso un espejo oscuro del alma humana y de la sociedad de su tiempo. Más allá de los hechos concretos, el caso de las hermanas Papin es una grieta por la que se puede vislumbrar algo más profundo: la violencia estructural, la represión emocional, la desigualdad social y los límites difusos entre el amor, la dependencia y la locura. Este relato no es solo la historia de un crimen, sino de una tragedia larvada, en la que el verdadero horror no está en lo que se hizo, sino en cómo se llegó a ello. En este episodio, exploraremos no solo los acontecimientos, sino el contexto, las personalidades implicadas y el impacto que este caso tuvo —y sigue teniendo— en la cultura y el pensamiento. Porque a veces, lo más perturbador no está en el acto, sino en las sombras que lo preceden.

Post Face, émission littéraire présentée par Caroline Gutmann. Elle reçoit René de Ceccatty pour son livre « Monsieur Miroir » aux éditions du Canoë. À propos du livre : « Monsieur Miroir » paru aux éditions du Canoë Qui est Serge Tamagnot ? C'est la question à laquelle répond ce livre singulier qui retrace la vie de ce personnage fantasque. Il se lia d'amitié avec Madeleine Castaing, puis avec Violette Leduc, et sans cesse avec des actrices, Brigitte Bardot, Bernadette Lafont, des chanteurs, Hervé Villard, Pascal Sevran, et aussi le mime Marceau. Mais c'est à Jean Sénac, qu'il dut la part la plus tragique de son destin. Il fréquentait de très nombreux écrivains : de Paul Guth à Henry de Montherlant, en passant par René de Obaldia, Arrabal, Nathalie Sarraute, Simone de Beauvoir et Françoise d'Eaubonne.

Imagine a machine deciding who gets life-saving surgery in a split-second, armed with endless data and razor-sharp logic. No hesitation, no bias, no emotional baggage. Sounds like a dream... or does it? What do you think: does AI make better decisions than humans? Well, it's true that there are no existential crises or coffee breaks for our robot friends. They're brilliant at optimize outcomes by crunching numbers, without getting tired, distracted, or irrational. Some chatbots actually even give good moral advice (one could say better than some philosophers?

Stef en Jan vertellen de reden van hun afwezigheid, maar zaten niet stil op ergernisgebied. Meghan Markle heeft een nieuw knutselprogramma en Janneke kreeg een heel speciaal verzoek voor het boekenbal. Stef ging kleding afleveren bij een vintagewinkel, een bezoek waar ze nog lang aan zal terugdenken. Jan neemt het op voor Propria Cures en vindt de UvA een sulletje. Het inzicht van de week gaat over mansplaining. De warme boodschappen zijn voor fijnproevers.

Le couple est aussi un lieu de résistance et d'engagement pour les femmes. A l'occasion de la Journée internationale des droits des femmes le 8 mars, Bababam vous plonge dans l'histoire de ces couples d'exception comme Marie et Pierre Curie, Frida Khalo et Diego Rivera, Virginia Woolf et Vita Sackville West, ou encore Lee Miller et Man Ray... des couples au sein desquels l'épanouissement de la femme et lutte pour ses droits ont été primordiaux. Précurseur, il faut l'être, quand, près d'un siècle après sa rencontre, un couple reste un des modèles phares de l'émancipation et de l'amour libre. Simone de Beauvoir et Jean-Paul Sartre ont traversé le XXème siècle côte à côte. Leur union ne ressemblait à aucune autre. Elle n'a jamais entravé leur vie intellectuelle. La preuve, ils sont deux figures majeures de notre culture. Deux génies à égalité.

Simone de Beauvoir var den viktigste feministiske filosofen i det 20. århundret, men benektet selv at hun var filosof eller feminist. Hennes filosofiske originalitet har vært undervurdert. Det skyldes ikke minst at også hun selv i så stor grad tildelte Jean-Paul Sartre rollen som «den første», med den følge at hun selv ble «den andre». Hun hevdet at liv og filosofi var uløselig forbundet, men levde livet sitt på en måte som til dels var stikk i strid med hennes egen filosofi.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

durée : 00:28:05 - Les Midis de Culture - par : Marie Labory - Imaginé comme un voyage initiatique aux origines de la pensée de Simone de Beauvoir, le documentaire explore l'impact, les fulgurances mais aussi les points aveugles du "Deuxième Sexe", œuvre fondatrice du féminisme contemporain. - réalisation : Laurence Malonda - invités : Nathalie Masduraud Réalisatrice de documentaires; Valérie Urrea Réalisatrice

Simone de Beauvoirs 1949 erstmals veröffentlichtes Werk gilt als Manifest der neuen Frauenbewegung. Es behandelt nicht nur – wie der klassische Feminismus – die rechtliche und politische Gleichstellung, also das Wahlrecht für Frauen oder gleiche Bezahlung für gleiche Arbeit. Ihre zentrale These lautet: Frauen gibt es nicht – sie werden dazu gemacht. Beauvoir ist überzeugt von der grundlegenden Freiheit der Menschen. Sie können aus der Immanenz ihres Körpers oder gesellschaftlicher Verhältnisse heraustreten und aktiv in eine offene Zukunft handeln. Doch während Männern dies unter den bestehenden Verhältnissen weithin ermöglicht wird, bleibt es Frauen oft verwehrt. Dabei werden auch die spezifischen körperlichen Merkmale des weiblichen und männlichen Körpers als Mittel geschlechtlicher Herrschaft instrumentalisiert. Frauen wird der Zugang zu ihrem eigenen Körper, ihrem Begehren, ihrer Lust und damit zu ihrer Autonomie verstellt. Männer setzen sich selbst als Maßstab, als Norm. Frauen hingegen gelten als das "andere", als das bloß zweite Geschlecht – als eines des Mangels. Die männliche Norm prägt sämtliche Bereiche des gesellschaftlichen Lebens. Frauen werden zur Unterordnung erzogen und von ihrem Körper entfremdet, der als unrein und schwach gilt. Ihre Selbstbestimmung wird systematisch verhindert. Sie sollen sich selbst zum Objekt, zur Beute der Männer machen. Das vorherrschende Verständnis des Verhältnisses der Geschlechter beschreibt Beauvoir als eines des Kampfes. Dem setzt sie jedoch eine andere Vision entgegen: die Überwindung von Weiblichkeit und Familie. Sie plädiert für eine Gesellschaft, in der Gleichheit die Grundlage bildet, Unterschiede aber dennoch zur Geltung kommen können. Das männlich dominierte, kriegerische und instrumentelle Modell des Geschlechterverhältnisses soll durch eines der Wechselseitigkeit ersetzt werden. Zu Gast bei Alex Demirović ist in dieser Folge die Geschlechtertheoretikerin Andrea Maihofer.

Un amant pour se sentir plus libre ? C'est la femme forte, libre, par excellence. L'éminence féministe et existentialiste. Son fameux turban, ses grandes boucles d'oreilles et sa relation si spéciale avec Sartre. Mais Simone de Beauvoir a aimé un autre homme, avec une intensité toute particulière : Nelson Algren.

https://youtu.be/0SSL_XThHdQ Podcast audio: A new ARI podcast series gives you a window into ARI's educational programs by showcasing our faculty as they discuss books of recent interest. The series, the ARI Bookshelf, premiered on August 6 with an episode discussing Wolfram Eilenberger's book The Visionaries. Panelists included Ben Bayer, Jason Rheins, Greg Salmieri, and Shoshana Milgram. The visionaries of the book's title are four mid-twentieth century female philosophers: Simone de Beauvoir, Hannah Arendt, Simone Weil, and Ayn Rand. Through interweaving biographies of these four figures, the book aims to show, as its subtitle puts it, “the power of philosophy in dark times.” According to Ben Bayer, “this was a very interesting book to read, especially because of the kind of novelistic quality of it, where you're not just reading about their ideas, but you're seeing what's happening in their lives […] against the backdrop of some pretty dramatic geopolitical events of the period.” Among the topics covered: Panelists' general takes on the book; How Simone Weil's philosophy causes her to martyr herself; The thematic unity of the four figures; The significance of the four figures being women; The book's sloppy treatment and misrepresentation of Rand; How the book whitewashes evil; Why the book may be worth reading. The video premiered on August 6, 2024.

Political Theorist Davide Panagia (UCLA) has two new books out focusing on the broader themes and ideas of film, aesthetics, and political theory. Sentimental Empiricism: Politics, Philosophy, and Criticism in Postwar France (Fordham University Press) interrogates French history and educational traditions from the Revolution through the postwar period and analyzes the cultural, social, political, and educational parameters that created the space for the French postwar political thinkers. In Sentimental Empiricism, Panagia explores the many directions of critical thought by Jean Wahl, Simone de Beauvoir, Gilbert Simondon, Gilles Deleuze, and Michel Foucault and how these theorists were pushing against, in many ways, the teleological structure as defined by Aristotle two millennia ago. This contrast in thinking is the heart of the book, helping the reader to consider distinctions between the more fixed classical ideas and a contemporary consideration of dispositionality and revisability. The research and broader historical sketch in Sentimental Empiricism leads to the thrust of Intermedialities: Political Theory and Cinematic Experience (Northwestern UP, 2024). In Intermedialities (Northwestern UP, 2024), Panagia continues to explore this concept of the revisability of our understanding of the world, and turns the specific focus to film. Film itself, as a medium and as a conveyor of ideas, is rarely at the center of discussions of politics and power. And yet this is the exact place where humans (audiences) can see movement, which is what we are always observing around us to contribute to how we essentially make sense of the world. Intermedialities compels the intertwining of political theory and the theory of film, with encounters between contemporary aesthetic theorists like Stanley Cavell, Gilles Deleuze, Miriam Hansen, and Jean-Luc Godard and more traditional modern thinkers like David Hume, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Gilbert Simondon. Intermedialities should be of particular interest to political theorists and political scientists since it posits the importance of understanding and thinking about the life and world around us and how we are all connected to taking in this life as movement. The medium of film, which provides us with concepts, images, imaginaries, and perceptions, contributes to so much of our memory and imagination, but is often dismissed as not “real” politics. Panagia and the theorists with whom he is thinking help to tease out the very political nature of the projection of moving images. Lilly J.

Political Theorist Davide Panagia (UCLA) has two new books out focusing on the broader themes and ideas of film, aesthetics, and political theory. Sentimental Empiricism: Politics, Philosophy, and Criticism in Postwar France (Fordham University Press) interrogates French history and educational traditions from the Revolution through the postwar period and analyzes the cultural, social, political, and educational parameters that created the space for the French postwar political thinkers. In Sentimental Empiricism, Panagia explores the many directions of critical thought by Jean Wahl, Simone de Beauvoir, Gilbert Simondon, Gilles Deleuze, and Michel Foucault and how these theorists were pushing against, in many ways, the teleological structure as defined by Aristotle two millennia ago. This contrast in thinking is the heart of the book, helping the reader to consider distinctions between the more fixed classical ideas and a contemporary consideration of dispositionality and revisability. The research and broader historical sketch in Sentimental Empiricism leads to the thrust of Intermedialities: Political Theory and Cinematic Experience (Northwestern UP, 2024). In Intermedialities (Northwestern UP, 2024), Panagia continues to explore this concept of the revisability of our understanding of the world, and turns the specific focus to film. Film itself, as a medium and as a conveyor of ideas, is rarely at the center of discussions of politics and power. And yet this is the exact place where humans (audiences) can see movement, which is what we are always observing around us to contribute to how we essentially make sense of the world. Intermedialities compels the intertwining of political theory and the theory of film, with encounters between contemporary aesthetic theorists like Stanley Cavell, Gilles Deleuze, Miriam Hansen, and Jean-Luc Godard and more traditional modern thinkers like David Hume, Ludwig Wittgenstein, and Gilbert Simondon. Intermedialities should be of particular interest to political theorists and political scientists since it posits the importance of understanding and thinking about the life and world around us and how we are all connected to taking in this life as movement. The medium of film, which provides us with concepts, images, imaginaries, and perceptions, contributes to so much of our memory and imagination, but is often dismissed as not “real” politics. Panagia and the theorists with whom he is thinking help to tease out the very political nature of the projection of moving images. Lilly J.

Nous sommes en 1977. Dans son ouvrage intitulé « Le Journal en partie double », Suzanne Lilar écrit : « Ce qui est meurtrier pour l'amour, c'est la confusion qui s'opère entre la libre subordination de l'amoureuse et la soumission morale et sociale de la femme à l'homme, voire à l'époux détenteur de l'autorité maritale. » L'amour constitue l'un des pivots autour desquels l'écrivaine, née à Gand, a articulé toute son œuvre. Une conception originale, avant-gardiste, de ce que sont, intrinsèquement, les femmes et les hommes. Une conception qui fait de l'autrice de « La confession anonyme », adaptée au cinéma par André Delvaux sous le titre de « Benvenuta », une féministe singulière ayant pris ses distances avec Simone de Beauvoir. Selon Lilar, la véritable égalité entre les sexes ne s'obtient pas en niant le féminin mais en faisant appel à ce qu'elle nomme la « bisexualité », à savoir la complémentarité des deux pôles. Aujourd'hui , le nom de Suzanne Lilar nous est vaguement familier mais lit-on encore son œuvre et que savons-nous de son inspiration ? A la fois mystique et païenne, flamande et francophone, celle d'une avocate et d'une femme au foyer. Née au tout début du 20e siècle, elle en fera, pratiquement la clôture, tirant sa révérence en 1992. Qu'a-t-elle encore à nous dire ? En quoi est-elle actuelle ? Laurence Boudart, docteure en lettres modernes, dirige les « Archives & Musée de la Littérature » dont la mission est la conservation et la valorisation des archives des écrivains belges francophones. Sujets traités : Suzanne Lilar, féminisme, écrivaine, Gand, André Delvaux, Benvenuta, Simone de Beauvoir, bisexualité Merci pour votre écoute Un Jour dans l'Histoire, c'est également en direct tous les jours de la semaine de 13h15 à 14h30 sur www.rtbf.be/lapremiere Retrouvez tous les épisodes d'Un Jour dans l'Histoire sur notre plateforme Auvio.be :https://auvio.rtbf.be/emission/5936 Intéressés par l'histoire ?

Amy Aronson is an Associate Professor of Journalism and Media Studies at Fordham University and former editor at Working Woman and Ms. magazines. Her biography Chrystal Eastman: A Revolutionary Life (Oxford University Press, 2019) gives us the life of a women's rights activist, labor lawyer, radical pacifist, writer and co-founder of what became the Civil Liberties Union. Her life was shaped by key relationships including with her mother Annis Ford Eastman and a close relationship with her brother Max Eastman, editor of the socialist magazine The Masses. Subsequently with her brother, she would launch The Liberator. Eastman spoke and wrote about a variety of social and political problems and was threatened by censorship and economic hardship. One of her chief concerns was how women could combine meaningful work with family life based on egalitarian ideals of independence and freedom. She attempted to live out her feminist ideals by redefining her marriage, motherhood and career. Chrystal Eastman: A Revolutionary Life offers a vivid portrait of a modern feminist navigating the hazards of private and public life as it unfolded in the progressive era. Lilian Calles Barger is a cultural, intellectual and gender historian. Her most recent book is entitled The World Come of Age: An Intellectual History of Liberation Theology (Oxford University Press, 2018). Her current research project is on the cultural history of feminist thought seen through the emblematic life and work of Simone de Beauvoir. Learn more about your ad choices.

“All the natural movements of the soul are controlled by laws analogous to those of physical gravity. Grace is the only exception.” … “It is necessary to uproot oneself. To cut down the tree and make of it a cross, and then to carry it every day.” … “I have to imitate God who infinitely loves finite things in that they are finite things.” … “To know that what is most precious is not rooted in existence—that is beautiful. Why? It projects the soul beyond time.”(Simone Weil, Gravity & Grace)“That's how the figure of Christ comes into this idea of the madness of love. It's that kind of mad, self emptying act completely. And it's the  one thing, she says, it's the only thing that means that you  are able to love properly. Because to love properly, and therefore to be just properly, you have to love like Christ does. Which is love to the extent that you, that you empty yourself and, you know, die on a cross.” (Deborah Casewell, from this episode)This is the third installment of a short series on How to Read Simone Weil—as the Mystic, the Activist, and the Existentialist.This week, Evan Rosa invites Deborah Casewell, Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Chester, author of Monotheism & Existentialism, and Co-Director of the Simone Weil Research Network in the U.K.—to explore how to read Simone Weil the Existentialist.Together they discuss how her life of extreme self-sacrifice importantly comes before her philosophy; how to understand her central, but often confusing concept of decreation; her approach to beauty as the essential human response for finding meaning in a world of force and necessity; the madness of Jesus Christ as the only way to engage in struggle for justice and how she connects that to the Greek tragedy of Antigone, which is the continuation of the Oedipus story; and, the connection between love, justice, and living a life of madness.About Simone WeilSimone Weil (1909–1943) was a French philosopher, mystic, and political activist. She's the author of Gravity and Grace, The Need for Roots, and Waiting for God—among many other essays, letters, and notes.About Deborah CasewellDeborah Casewell is Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Chester, author of Monotheism & Existentialism, and is Co-Director of the Simone Weil Research Network in the U.K.Show NotesSimone Weil's Gravity & Grace (1947) (Available Online)Deborah Casewell's Monotheism & ExistentialismSimone de Beauvoir's anecdote in Memories of a Beautiful Daughter: “Shouldn't we also get people's minds, not just their bodies? Weil: “You've never been hungry have you?”Leon Trotsky yells violently at WeilThe odd idolizing of Weil without paying attention to her writing”You get a kind of, as you say, a kind of odd idolization of her, or a sense in which  you can't then interact so critically   or systematically with her philosophy, because her figure stands in the way so much, and the kind of the respect that people have.”Anti-Semitism despite JewishnessSimone Weil's relationship to food: an unhealthy role model“She'd reject anything that wasn't perfect.”Extreme germophobeExpression of solidarity with the unfortunateHer life comes before her philosophy. Being, you might say, comes before thinking.Weil's life of extreme self-sacrifice as “mad”—alienating, insane, strange to the outside world.“ I think an essential part of, to an essential part of understanding her is to understand that   world is kind of structured and  set up in such a way that it runs without God, without the supernatural, God's kind of abdicated through the act of creation. And as a result, the universe operates through necessity and through force. So left to its own devices, the universe, I think, tends towards crushing people.”Abandonment vs abdicationPeople possess power and ability and action—a tension between activity and passivityWeil's Marxism and theory of labor and workActivity becomes sustained passivityConsent, power, and the social dynamics of force and necessityI think she sees the best human existence is to be in a state of obedience instead. And so what you have to do is relinquish power over people.The complexity of human relationships“She was a very individual person … a singular, individual life.”The Need for Roots“And this is what I do like about Simone Weil—is that she's always happy to let contradictions exist. And so when she describes human nature and the needs of the soul, they're contradictory. They all contradict each other. It's freedom and obedience.”Creating dualismsShe is a dualistSimone Weil on Beauty and Decreation”Decreation is essentially your way to exist in the world ruled by force and necessity without succumbing  to force and necessity, because in a way there's less  of you to succumb to force and necessity.”Platonic idea of MetaxuWeil on the human experience of beauty—” people need beautiful things and they need experiences of beauty in order to exist in the world, fundamentally… if this world is ruled by force and necessity.”The unity of the transcendentals of beauty and truth and goodness—anchored in GodWeil's PlatonismWeil as religious existentialist, as opposed to French atheistic existentialist“ For her, God is the ultimate reality, but also God is love. And so the goal of human existence, I think, is to return to God and consent to God. That's the goal of human life.”“What are you paying attention to?”The madness of ChristThe struggle for justice“Only a few people have this desire for justice, this madness to love.”Existentialism and Humanism: “Sartre says that  man is nothing but what he makes of himself.”Making oneself an example“The real supernatural law, which is mad and unreasonable, and it doesn't try to make accommodations and get on with the world and deal with tricky situations. It's just mad.”Simone Weil on Antigone and the continuation of the Oedipus storySummary of the Greek tragedy, Antigone“And so Antigone says, the justice that I owe is not to the city. It's not so that the city can, you know, continue its life and move on. The justice that I owe is to the supernatural law, to these more important primordial laws that actually govern the  life and death situations and the situation of your soul as well. And that's why she does what she does. She's obedient to the unwritten law rather than the written law.”“The love of God and the justice of God is always going to be mad in the eyes of the world.””The spirit of justice is nothing other than the supreme and perfect flower of the madness of love.”The mad, self-emptying love of Christ“That's how the figure of Christ comes into this idea of the madness of love. It's that kind of mad, self emptying act completely. And it's the  one thing, she says, it's the only thing that means that you  are able to love properly. Because to love properly, and therefore to be just properly, you have to love like Christ does. Which is love to the extent that you, that you empty yourself and, you know, die on a cross.”Does Weil suggest an unhealthy desire to suffer?“ It hurls one into risks one cannot run. If one has given one's heart to anything at all that belongs to this world. Um, and the outcome to which the madness of love led Christ is, after all, no recommendation for it.”“But if the order of the universe is a wise order, there must sometimes be moments when, from the point of view of earthly reason, only the madness of love is reasonable. Such moments can only be those when, as today, mankind has become mad from want of love. Is it certain today that the madness of love may not be capable of providing the unhappy masses, hungry in body and soul, with a food far easier for them to digest than our inspirations to a less lofty source? So then, being what we are, is it certain that we are at our post in the camp of justice?”“ From a loftier view, only the madness of love is reasonable.”“Only the madness of love can be the kind of love that actually helps people in the world. Fundamentally, that people, even though they know it's mad, and they find it mad, and they would sometimes rather not see it, they need that kind of love, and they need people who love in that kind of way. Even if it's not the majority, people still  need that. And so in some way, the way in which  she is, and the way in which she sees Christ being, is indispensable. Even though the path that you have to go down has nothing to recommend, as she says, in the eyes of the reasonable world, nothing to recommend it. It's the only just thing to do. It's the only just and loving thing to do in the end.”Production NotesThis podcast featured Deborah CasewellEdited and Produced by Evan RosaHosted by Evan RosaProduction Assistance by Macie Bridge, Alexa Rollow, Emily Brookfield, and Zoë HalabanA Production of the Yale Center for Faith & Culture at Yale Divinity School https://faith.yale.edu/aboutSupport For the Life of the World podcast by giving to the Yale Center for Faith & Culture: https://faith.yale.edu/give

“What are you going through?” This was one of the central animating questions in Simone Weil's thought that pushed her beyond philosophy into action. Weil believed that genuinely asking this question of the other, particularly the afflicted other, then truly listening and prayerfully attending, would move us toward an enactment of justice and love.Simone Weil believed that any suffering that can be ameliorated, should be.In this episode, Part 2 of our short series on How to Read Simone Weil, Cynthia Wallace (Associate Professor of English at St. Thomas More College at the University of Saskatchewan), and author of The Literary Afterlives of Simone Weil: Feminism, Justice, and the Challenge of Religion and Evan Rosa discuss the risky self-giving way of Simone Weil; her incredible literary influence, particularly on late 20th century feminist writers; the possibility of redemptive suffering; the morally complicated territory of self-sacrificial care and the way that has traditionally fallen to women and minorities; what it means to make room and practicing hospitality for the afflicted other; hunger; the beauty of vulnerability; and that grounding question for Simone Weil political ethics, “What are you going through?”We're in our second episode of a short series exploring How to Read Simone Weil. She's the author of Gravity and Grace, The Need for Roots, and Waiting for God—among many other essays, letters, and notes—and a deep and lasting influence that continues today.In this series, we're exploring Simone Weil the Mystic, Simone Weil the Activist, Simone Weil the Existentialist. And what we'll see is that so much of her spiritual, political, and philosophical life, are deeply unified in her way of being and living and dying.And on that note, before we go any further, I need to issue a correction from our previous episode in which I erroneously stated that Weil died in France. And I want to thank subscriber and listener Michael for writing and correcting me.Actually she died in England in 1943, having ambivalently fled France in 1942 when it was already under Nazi occupation—first to New York, then to London to work with the Free French movement and be closer to her home.And as I went back to fix my research, I began to realize just how important her place of death was. She died in a nursing home outside London. In Kent, Ashford to be precise. She had become very sick, and in August 1943 was moved to the Grosvenor Sanitorium.The manner and location of her death matter because it's arguable that her death by heart failure was not a self-starving suicide (as the coroner reported), but rather, her inability to eat was a complication rising from tuberculosis, combined with her practice of eating no more than the meager rations her fellow Frenchmen lived on under Nazi occupation.Her biographer Richard Rees wrote: "As for her death, whatever explanation one may give of it will amount in the end to saying that she died of love.In going back over the details of her death, I found a 1977 New York Times article by Elizabeth Hardwick, and I'll quote at length, as it offers a very fitting entry into this week's episode on her life of action, solidarity, and identification with and attention to the affliction of others.“Simone Weil, one of the most brilliant, and original minds of 20th century France, died at the age of 34 in a nursing home near London. The coroner issued a verdict of suicide, due to voluntary starvation—an action undertaken at least in part out of wish not to eat more than the rations given her compatriots in France under the German occupation. The year of her death was 1943.“The willed deprivation of her last period was not new; indeed refusal seems to have been a part of her character since infancy. What sets her apart from our current ascetics with their practice of transcendental meditation, diet, vegetarianism, ashram simplicities, yoga is that with them the deprivations and rigors‐are undergone for the pay‐off—for tranquility, for thinness, for the hope of a long life—or frequently, it seems, to fill the hole of emptiness so painful to the narcissist. With Simone Well it was entirely the opposite.“It was her wish, or her need, to undergo misery, affliction and deprivation because such had been the lot of mankind throughout history. Her wish was not to feel better, but to honor the sufferings of the lowest. Thus around 1935, when she was 25 years old, this woman of transcendent intellectual gifts and the widest learning, already very frail and suffering from severe headaches, was determined to undertake a year of work in a factory. The factories, the assembly lines, were then the modem equivalent of “slavery,” and she survived in her own words as “forever a slave.” What she went through at the factory “marked me in so lasting a manner that still today when any human being, whoever he may be and in whatever circumstances, speaks to me without brutality, I cannot help having the impression teat there must be a mistake....”[Her contemporary] “Simone de Beauvoir tells of meeting her when they were preparing for examinations to enter a prestigious private school. ‘She intrigued me because of her great reputation for intelligence and her bizarre outfits. ... A great famine had broken out in China, and I was told that when she heard the news she had wept. . . . I envied her for having a heart that could beat round the world.'“In London her health vanished, even though the great amount of writing she did right up to the time she went to the hospital must have come from those energies of the dying we do not understand—the energies of certain chosen dying ones, that is. Her behavior in the hospital, her refusal and by now her Inability to eat, vexed and bewildered the staff. Her sense of personal accountability to the world's suffering had reached farther than sense could follow.”Last week, we heard from Eric Springsted, one of the co-founders of the American Weil Society and author of Simone Weil for the Twenty-First Century.Next week, we'll explore Simone Weil the Existentialist—with philosopher Deborah Casewell, author of Monotheism & Existentialism and Co-Director of the Simone Weil Research Network in the UK.But this week we're looking at Simone Weil the Activist—her perspectives on redemptive suffering, her longing for justice, and her lasting influence on feminist writers. With me is Cynthia Wallace, associate professor of English at St. Thomas More College at the University of Saskatchewan, and author of The Literary Afterlives of Simone Weil: Feminism, Justice, and the Challenge of Religion.This is unique because it's learning how to read Simone Weil from some of her closest readers and those she influenced, including poets and writers such as Adrienne Rich, Denise Levertov, and Annie Dillard.About Cynthia WallaceCynthia Wallace is Associate Professor of English at St. Thomas More College at the University of Saskatchewan, and author of The Literary Afterlives of Simone Weil: Feminism, Justice, and the Challenge of Religion, as well as **Of Women Borne: A Literary Ethics of Suffering.About Simone WeilSimone Weil (1909–1943) was a French philosopher, mystic, and political activist.
