Today, My Father Would Be a Heretic: Therapeutic History and the Failures of the Profession in the Twenty-First Century
Lethal journalism and own-goal antisemitism: The tragic march of folly at the turn of the millennium
This article examines the close relationship between the consistent practice of lethal journalism (in this case reporting Palestinian war propaganda as news) among Western journalists, and the sudden appearance of the 'new antisemitism' at the turn of the last millennium. It looks closely at two cases – the al-Durah 'murder' (September 2000) and the Jenin 'massacre' (April 2002), and the manner in which this allegedly professional journalism open…
A Man and His Manuscripts: The Notebooks of Ademar of Chabannes (989–1034)
The Paranoid Apocalypse: A Hundred-Year Retrospective on The Protocols of the Elders of Zion
The Demopath’s Lexicon: A guide to Western journalism between the river and the sea
This article examines a double discourse by the Palestinian leadership, one in English and one in Arabic, which plays a central role in their negotiating strategy with Israel since the onset of the Oslo ‘peace process’ (1993). Using language very close to Western terminology, Palestinians in English speak of ‘Occupation’ and ‘Settlements’ with the 1967 borders as the defining issue; while in Arabic, they speak of ‘Occupation’ and ‘Settlements’ in…
Pollution, Purity, and Peace: An Aspect of Social Reform between the Late Tenth Century and 1076
Imagining Religious Leadership in the Middle Ages: Richard of Saint-Vanne and the Politics of Reform, by Steven Vanderputten
This important book tackles a subject with great implications for our understanding not only of the period it treats (early eleventh century), but also subsequent, better-known developments such as the Papal Reform and the Investiture Conflict. In it, Steven Vanderputten does a double historiographical service: on the one hand, he examines carefully many of the accepted affirmations about Richard of Saint-Vanne and finds them wanting; on the othe…
Peace of God: Social Violence and Religious Response in France Around the Year 1000
The human rights discourse and Israel: Beyond victimhood and underdogs
Ron Dudai (‘Entryism, mimicry and victimhood work: the adoption of human rights discourse by right-wing groups in Israel’) makes the argument that ‘right-wing’ groups imitate, seek to be included in, and to exploit human rights discourse in order to pursue a ‘right-wing’ agenda. The ostensible objective of this effort is to hijack the movement from within, defend Israel and undermine the Palestinian struggle for human rights.The choice and reliab…
From Useful Idiot to Useful Infidel: "Meditations on the Folly of 21st-Century "Intellectuals
Lenin allegedly referred to the thinkers and activists ready to cover up for his crimes against his own people as “useful idiots.” Today, some intellectuals sacrifice their integrity as intellectuals not for a professedly progressive egalitarian movement, but in order to protect radical Islam, one of the most regressive and authoritarian movements imaginable. This article refers to such people as “useful infidels, ” showing how their excessive se…

Edward Said and the Culture of Honour and Shame: Orientalism and Our Misperceptions of the Arab–Israeli Conflict
In his renowned book, Orientalism, Edward Said has few and dismissive words to say about the issue of honour and shame in Arabic culture. He aims his clearest barbs at Harold Glidden. The article i

The Apocalyptic Year 1000: Religious Expectation and Social Change, 950-1050
The essays in this volume challenge prevailing views on the way in which apocalyptic concerns contributed to larger processes of social change at the first millennium. They should provoke new interest in and debate on the nature and causes of social change in early medieval Europe.
What Happens when Jesus Doesn't Come: Jewish and Christian Relations in Apocalyptic Time
The Fruitful Error: Reconsidering Millennial Enthusiasm
Apocalyptic hopes for an imminent millenial "new age" have taken a wide variety of forms in European history, from the earlier religious manifestations to the more secular and, hence, more activist ones of the modern world. Although none of these apocalyptic expectations has been accurate, and many have had disastrous immediate consequences for those involved, they have set in motion powerful social dynamics. Western science and technology, revol…

A cCloskey's response to our paper is at once a remarkable misreading LYof our criticism, and a curious misrepresentation of the paper he coauthored with Nash. McCloskey suggests that the main purpose of this paper was to show that the cost of storage was 'formidable' in medieval England.' 'The point was to get a rough idea of storage cost (not storage amounts)' in which he had only a 'desultory' interest.2 Nor did he have any more than a 'tangen…
Anachronistic Economics: Grain Storage in Medieval England
Argues that the examination in the secular change in nominal interest rates is not sufficient to understand the complexities of grain-storage dynamics in Medieval Europe
La vie apostolique en Aquitaine en l'an mil. Paix de Dieu, culte des reliques, et communautés hérétiques
En 1028, selon le chroniqueur Adémar de Chabannes, le vieux duc d'Aquitaine Guillaume V (993-1029) convoqua un concile à Charroux afin de 'confirmer la paix et le respect de l'Église et d'exterminer l'hérésie manichéenne qui se répandait parmi le peuple'. La même année, il présida avec onze évêques aquitains à la dédicace de la basilique royale de Saint-Martial de Limoges. Cette cérémonie eut lieu devant d'énormes foules enthousiasmées par ce sai…
A cult matriarchate and male homosexuality
Male homosexuality occurs very widely, but the extent to which it becomes a social problem varies with the attitudes taken towards it. A sharp distinction between the active and the passive homosexual may be made and either one become the object of strong social condemnation, while the other is given a recognized role in society. Among certain American Indian tribes, the passive homosexual has been protected, encouraged to adopt the social and se…
