Mosse lectures
The Mosse Lectures are an international and interdisciplinary series of lectures at the Humboldt University in Berlin . The series has been organized by the Institute for German Literature since it was established in 1997. In memory of the historian George L. Mosse , since his death in 1999 the Mosse Lectures have expressly been devoted to imparting knowledge and the presentation of historical facts and conflicts, in particular the past and present of Jewish life, thought and action in Germany.
Profile of the lecture series
The speakers of the Mosse Lectures include internationally important personalities from the academic environment as well as politicians, journalists, artists and writers. The intention is to introduce the speakers and their areas of work to a wider public. Since 2002, the events have had a leading topic for each semester, on which four lectures or readings are usually given. Following the speakers' lecture, there is usually an open discussion. The events usually take place in the Senate Hall of the Humboldt University in Berlin and are usually held in German or English. Occasionally the events are broadcast on the radio (previously RBB , Deutschlandradio , Deutschlandfunk Nova ).
history
The series of events opened on May 14, 1997 with a lecture by the namesake George L. Mosse on the subject of "The Liberal Legacy and the National Socialist Public". It is part of a long democratic tradition that can refer to the work of the Mosse publishing house in the Weimar Republic and its resistance to National Socialism .
