| مستخلص: |
Serfdom in eighteenth-century western Germany is usually regarded as politically inconsequential, largely because of the relatively small material burdens it entailed. The following essay challenges this view, arguing that popular concepts of personal and collective honour strongly affected how ordinary peasants evaluated serfdom. As evidence for this, it draws on the example of a complex popular debate surrounding serfdom, which took place in the Black Forest lordship of Hauenstein between 1670 and 1745. To erase the perceived social taint of serfdom, Hauensteiners proved willing to undergo hardships that remain inexplicable from a purely economic standpoint. A full accounting of the political significance of late serfdom must therefore incorporate the impact of popular social values. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
