Elinore Darzi is a sixth-year PhD candidate and a Dean’s Teaching Fellow in the Department of French and Italian, completing her dissertation, titled: Silent Cries: The Ethics and Aesthetics of Infancy, studying the ineffable in the works of Simone Weil, Jean-François Lyotard, and Adel Abdessemed.
Her research focuses on 20th and 21st-century French philosophy, critical theory, literature, political theology, modern and contemporary art, film, and psychoanalytic thought.
Her work engages the ethical, political and aesthetic aspects of liminal psychical notions such as love, affect and memory and physical conditions such as care, illness and migration.
She co-edited (with Aviad Heifetz and Gabriël Maes) and wrote the postface to the first publication of Simone Weil's class notes from Le Puy Simone Weil: Philosophie, les cours du Puy 1931-32. Paris: Éditions de l’éclat, 2024.
