Title:Managing the estate: balancing the interests and careerism of the owners and their managers, and maintaining the delicate balance of social stability in the estate, with particular emphasis on various forms of solidarity
Abstract:Study explores the intricate dynamics between landowners and their managers in the Ribnica lordship, owned by count Guido Cobenzl. It emphasizes the interplay of careerism, social prestige, and mechanisms of social stability, particularly through the lens of solidarity and charitable practices. The Ribnica lordship, owned by Guido Cobenzl, serves as a case study for analyzing the multifaceted interactions between landowners and their managerial agents. Cobenzl, an aristocrat deeply embedded in the Viennese court culture, navigated a complex social landscape that demanded both economic viability and the maintenance of noble prestige. The ascension of his son, Filip Cobenzl, to the position of Vice Chancellor intensified the imperative for social respectability, a value that was deeply ingrained in familial expectations. The administration of the Ribnica estate was characterized by variable degrees of oversight, with managers employing owner’s social capital and networks to fulfill both their own ambitions and the objectives of the landowner. The shifting political and legal landscape of the late 18th century further complicated land tenure and revenue generation, while at the same time they may have increased the pressure on the serfs. The intersection of these external factors necessitated adaptive strategies by the landed gentry to preserve their socio-economic status. A key mechanism employed to sustain the precarious balance of power in lordship was the cultivation of various forms of solidarity, manifesting in charitable acts and social engagements that among other functions served dual purposes: addressing personal prestige and ensuring socio-political stability. Analysis of correspondence between Guido Cobenzel and his administrators Jožef Repešič and Anton Rudež and the correspondence between Filip Cobenzl and Rudež, reveals the operationalisation of different strategies and of social responsibility. These communications illustrate how the administrators, in their role as stewards of the estate, contributed to the consolidating social influence and enhancing noble prestige within the estate. In the 18th century, the Cobenzl family was exceptional among the nobility who had estates in what is now Slovenian territory, due to its social prestige, the offices held by its representatives and the income it earned. It is also notable for its very diverse forms of donation. While it was not a formal requirement for high ranked nobility to substantiate their status through acts of charity towards serfs, particularly by the end of the 18th century, in case of Cobenzl family such philanthropic gestures were strategically employed. The charitable engagements of the nobility were perceived as important measure to the maintenance of social harmony and the reinforcement of the paternalistic role of the landowner. This paternalism echoed the overarching narrative established by absolutist governance, reflecting a broader strategy of legitimizing authority and sustaining order within the feudal hierarchy.
