Abstract

This paper examines the degree of economic and political autonomy of peasants in monastic estates in 10th century Lotharingia. While it is beyond doubt that local societies were deeply enmeshed in networks of aristocratic control, it is also possible to identify areas of autonomy. Monastic lordship was not all encompassing as it was structurally limited in its capacity to control every aspect of peasants’ lives and to prevent all forms of disobedience. Despite the violent and sometimes arbitrary nature of aristocratic power, negotiations between peasants and lords played an important role, especially as peasant households developed a form of subsistence economy that involved production for commercial exchange. In this context, some monasteries were willing to grant more productive means and autonomy to peasants. These initiatives were sometimes supported by a paternalistic «vocabulary of lordship» and a «moral economy» that patronized peasants, but could also be mobilized to support their interests.

10世纪洛塔林的农民行动与寺院地产管理
本文考察了10世纪洛塔林省寺院庄园农民的经济和政治自治程度。虽然毫无疑问,地方社会深深陷入贵族控制的网络,但也有可能确定自治的领域。修道院领主并不是包揽一切,因为它在结构上控制农民生活的方方面面并防止各种形式的不服从的能力是有限的。尽管贵族权力具有暴力和有时专断的性质,但农民和领主之间的谈判发挥了重要作用,特别是当农户发展出一种自给自足的经济形式,包括为商业交换而生产时。在这种情况下,一些修道院愿意给予农民更多的生产手段和自主权。这些倡议有时会得到家长式的“领主词汇”和“道德经济”的支持,这些都是对农民的庇护,但也可以动员起来支持他们的利益。
