Simone Weil (1909-1943) left behind a remarkable and diverse body of work, both in terms of subject matter and form. Sharp essays published in the early 1930s in regional trade union and dissident communist journals. Texts, sketches, correspondence, and commentaries on philosophy, science, technology, ecology, politics, and religion - many of which remained unpublished during her lifetime. After Weil was forced into exile in 1940, the Cahiers - 19 handwritten notebooks, composed of scattered, unsystematic notes and readings from various philosophical and religious sources as well as mathematical formulae - became the primary medium of articulation. My presentation will focus on the paratactic mode of writing of the Cahiers, which juxtaposes elements next to each other, allowing contradictions to emerge in-between, without reconciling them. The fragmentary and unresolved form of the notebooks is undoubtedly tied to experiences of alienation and exile. However, touching on two central concepts, "metaxu" and "readings" (lecture), I would argue that it is also a deliberate experiment in its own right, reflecting what Weil, from her early to her late writings, is consistently oriented towards: modes of non-violent, mutual reference - of coexistence that allows for difference.
