	George Mosse Foundation
		The George Mosse Foundation at the Universiteit van Amsterdam aims at the advancement of gay and lesbian studies.
		The American historian George Mosse bequested a gift to the UvA at his death in 1999 which is a legacy acknowledging the importance of gay and lesbian studies in Amsterdam, especially of its cultural-historical approach to the study of homosexuality.
		George studied history in Harvard and in 1955 he became professor of history at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.

	George Mosse at AllExperts
		Mosse was educated at an exclusive boys' school run by former Army officers, where, as a frail youth, he had difficulty with the demanding physical education regime imposed on the pupils.
		Despite his background, Mosse was a self-proclaimed "Marxist of the heart", meaning that while he did not believe in Marxism as a theory, he nonetheless sympathized with it as an ideology.
		Mosse graduated with a BS from Haverford College in 1941 and from Harvard with a PhD in 1946.

	George Mosse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Gender book review: The Image of Man: the Creation of Modern Masculinity
		Mosse does for our understanding of modern masculinity what nineteenth-century phrenology claimed to do for its practitioners: that is, he provides us with a key to interpreting the relationships that people made between surface appearances and the depths of mind and morality.
		Mosse dates the birth of modern masculinity as occurring at the same time as the rise of bourgeois society, that is, between the second half of the eighteenth century and beginning of the nineteenth.
		Mosse is cautious in his argument, and he qualifies many of his statements, but the extent to which such rebellions threatened the stereotype is, I believe, still exaggerated.

		Mosse adds, however, that these ideals were confined largely to the elites of the combatant nations, but, after all, members of the elites created the propaganda that sustained the myth.
		Mosse believes the simple, low-lying, fl wall that is the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington is emblematic of the new attitude.
		Mosse is a historian of Germany and his work is far stronger on the German side of the question than that of any other country.

		In Mosse's German Jews Beyond Judaism and Sorkin's The Transformation of German Jewry,(2) the sad story is told of German Jews who doggedly held on to their cosmopolitan faith in Goethe, Lessing, and Humboldt at a time when gentile Germans were trading theirs in for a much more sinister version of volkisch exclusivism.
		Mosse hints at one of the costs when he notes a certain conservatism that has until very recently kept out new approaches in the humanities and social sciences.
		Mosse, who strongly identifies with his own background in that tradition, writes that despite their failure in the German context, its defenders "in the long run.

	The Nationalism Project: Toward the Final Solution Review
		Mosse makes it clear very early in his book that it was not a lack of contact which bred fear of the unknown, but precisely the opposite.
		Mosse writes "Political participation was defined by acting out a political liturgy in mass movements or in the streets and by seeking security through national myths and symbols which left little or no room for those who were different.
		Mosse notes that Spanish activities during the sixteenth century constitute modern racism, but that it disappeared and thus could not be a precursor to the racism he is discussing.

	Conference to honor Mosse's scholarship (Aug 22, 2001)

		Born in Berlin, Germany in 1918, Mosse narrowly escaped Nazis persecution by fleeing to England in 1933.
		The UW-Madison Institute for Research in the Humanities is sponsoring "An Historian's Legacy: George L. Mosse and Recent Research on Fascism, Society." With the exception of an opening night banquet Sept. 7, the conference is a free public event.

	FT May 2000: The Cultural Revolution of Facism
		Half—measures and compromises, Mosse notes, were anathema to all Fascists; these were typical of the craven bourgeoisie, Fascists held, not of the virile Fascist "new man." For Nazi propagandist Joseph Goebbels, for example, a true National Socialist would willingly carry out a scorched—earth policy or ruthlessly gun down deserters.
		Mosse views both as products of the modern liberation of the will—rival manifestations of "the people worshiping themselves." Both the French Revolution and fascism sought to transcend the mundane complexities of politics and create perfect societies; both rejected the West’s biblical heritage; both aestheticized politics in public festivals and songs.
		Mosse, a historian and not a philosopher, remains on a somewhat superficial level in his account of fascism as a pathology of democratic modernity—as based, in essence, on a rejection of the West’s Jewish and Christian heritage.

	What History Tells: George L. Mosse and the Culture of Modern Europe.(Book review) - HighBeam Encyclopedia
		Several contributors to What History Tells note that George L. Mosse, who died in 1999 at eighty-one, was too restless to have been a monument.
		Several days before 9/11, Mosse's considerable oeuvre [1946-20001, was the subject of a conference, "An Historian's Legacy: George L. Mosse and Recent Research on Fascism, Society, and Culture," held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where Mosse had taught since 1955.

		Mosse also made a point of intervening in his colleagues' debates with bold statements and calculated provocations meant to break down the parameters that constrained their analyses.
		Gentile, in fact, writes of a "Mosse revolution" in the study of fascism, which consisted "first of all in the novelty of his method of analysis, which in turn was a consequence of a way of envisaging history and the historian's task" (p.

	THE REVOLUTIONARY APPEAL OF FASCISM - New York Times
		Mosse assures his readers that ''these essays are concerned with the national myths, symbols, and stereotypes that made it possible for many men and women to confront the burdens of life: they are the filters through which reality is perceived.''
		Mosse finds that although ''the Germans were steeped in what we may call liberal literature,'' their reading had only a very tenuous ''relationship to reality.''
		Mosse is amply justified in emphasizing that ''the revolutionary appeal of Fascism is easy to underestimate,'' that it ''attracted a motley crowd of followers from different backgrounds and of all classes.'' But I do not agree with him when he adds ''...

		Mosse didn’t just study European history, he was born into it.
		Mosse’s emergence as a major scholar was closely tied up with his increasing comfort with his identity as a gay Jew.
		Mosse was all too aware that as part of its cultural project, fascism upheld an ideal of masculinity that defined both gays and Jews as abnormal.

		Beginning with the Napoleonic wars, Mosse traces the origins of this myth and its symbols, and examines the role of war volunteers in creating and perpetuating it.

	Lipinsky Institute for Judaic Studies
		George realized that many German Jews like himself deeply believed that if they could cultivate the classical and romantic traits and virtues depicted in the great works of German literature and philosophy that they would be accepted as equal citizens by German Gentiles.
		Mosse felt that Zionism had absorbed this strain of European Jewish liberalism, but warned that modern Israel could easily be corrupted by the ethnocentrism and militarism engendered by the Arab-Israeli Conflict and the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza.
		Mosse’s critical posture did not deter the Hebrew University of Jerusalem from appointing him as the occupant of the Koebner Chair of History.
