Richard Landes
Richard Allen Landes (born 1949)[citation needed] is an American historian and author who specializes in medieval millennial thinking. Until 2015 he taught at Boston University, and then began working at Bar-Ilan University. He has defended the politics of Israel in the light of what he calls media manipulation by Palestinians.
Biography
Landes is the son of Harvard Professor of Economics and History David Landes.[1] His early publications were concerned with hagiography; his first published monograph was a translation of the vita of Saint Martial;[2] his second on the scribe and forger Adémar de Chabannes.[3] Until 2015 he was a professor in the Department of History at Boston University, and the director of Boston University's Center for Millennial Studies. Since 2015, he has been a Senior Fellow at the Center for International Communication at Bar-Ilan University, in Ramat Gan, Israel.[4]
Landes was formerly married to historian Paula Fredriksen.[5] He lives with his wife in Jerusalem.[6]
Academic work
Landes specializes in millennial thinking in the Middle Ages, particularly around the year 1000.
In "Orientalism, a Thousand and One Times"[10] and "Warientalism, or the Carrier of Firewood,"[11] Landes' discourse is labelled Warientalist, a concept that refers to a discourse defined by power and sentiment rather than knowledge.
