With the growing profitability of industry , farmers wanted to move to towns to receive higher wages than those they could earn working in the fields, [ citation needed ] while landowners also invested in the more profitable industry. Admittedly, after that strong stance the explanation in the textbooks tends to get a bit hazy, and for good reason. Furthermore, the increasing use of money made tenant farming by serfs less profitable; for much less than it cost to support a serf, a lord could now hire workers who were more skilled and pay them in cash.

This omission was certainly a quirk of the R eturn from the northern circuit since slaves appear in considerable numbers in all other counties, and the one satellite text for the circuit reveals that there were slaves on the estates recorded there but not in Domesday Book.

A serf could grow what crop he saw fit on his lands, although a serf's taxes often had to be paid in wheat. By demographic. Decline, Resistance and Expansion Brepols, There are also a number of features that make serfdom look especially similar to slavery. They owned no tenancy in land, worked for the lord exclusively and survived on donations from the landlord. Medieval Europe: A Short History. This also led to the growing process of urbanization. It was never established in the North, in the Urals, nor in Siberia. Meanwhile, the division of the common land served as a buffer preserving social peace between nobles and peasants. The change in status following the enclosure movements beginning in the later 18th century, in which various lords abandoned the open field farming of previous centuries and, essentially, took all the best land for themselves in exchange for "freeing" their serfs, may well have made serfdom seem more desirable to many peasant families. In England, the Domesday Book , of , uses bordarii bordar and cottarii cottar as interchangeable terms, "cottar" deriving from the native Anglo-Saxon tongue whereas "bordar" derived from the French. Status-wise, the bordar or cottar ranked below a serf in the social hierarchy of a manor, holding a cottage , garden and just enough land to feed a family. The enclosure of manor fields for livestock grazing and for larger arable plots made the economy of serfs' small strips of land in open fields less attractive to landowners. Finally, serfdom was abolished by a decree issued by Tsar Alexander II in In his book Das Kapital , in Chapter 26 entitled "The Secret of Primitive Accumulation" and Chapter 27, "Expropriation of the Agricultural Population from the Land", Marx claimed that the feudal relationships of serfdom were violently transformed into private property and free labour: free of possession and free to sell their labour force on the market. Serfdom and Slavery 1st edition Writer One returnable writ stands out in particular. Serfs had a specific place in feudal society, as did barons and knights : in return for protection, a serf would reside upon and work a parcel of land within the manor of his lord. However, Wu Ta-k'un argued that the Shang-Zhou fengjian were kinship estates, quite distinct from feudalism. Serfdom only existed in central and southern areas of the Russian Empire.

Main article: Serfdom in Russia. Most often, there were two types of peasants:. The usual serf not including slaves or cottars paid his fees and taxes in the form of seasonally appropriate labour. This was a highly Catholic society, after all. This arrangement provided most of the agricultural labour throughout the Middle Ages. But it was possible although not common for a lord to sell one of his serfs individually. Nichols, ed. Domestic servant. A variety of kinds of villeinage existed in Europe in the Middle Ages.

The Qin established the pattern for the imperial bureaucratic state that would rule China for the next two thousand years, and its unification of the various written scripts and metal currencies of feudal China ensured the cultural and economic unification of the land as well. But the Qin Dynasty has also been disparaged by later writers for its harsh laws, its excessive labor mobilizations, the autocratic rule of its emperors, and of course, the famous “burning of the books,” one of the most notorious literary inquisitions in history. In this course, students will look at the Qin Dynasty from a wide variety of perspectives. They will come to learn how this brief period in Chinese history has been viewed by later authors and through the lens of contemporary culture. The types of material that students will read or view in this course include primary historical documents, legal codes and casebooks, legends and literature, historical essays, archaeological materials, historical fiction, movies, comic books, and video games.

Dynamics of Disintegration: The Later Han Empire (25-220CE) & Its Northwestern Frontier Abstract As a frontier region of the Qin-Han (221BCE-220CE) empire, the northwest was a new territory to the Chinese realm. Until the Later Han (25-220CE) times, some portions of the northwestern region had only been part of imperial soil for one hundred years. Its coalescence into the Chinese empire was a product of long-term expansion and conquest, which arguably defined the egionr 's military nature. Furthermore, in the harsh natural environment of the region, only tough people could survive, and unsurprisingly, the region fostered vigorous warriors. Mixed culture and multi-ethnicity featured prominently in this highly militarized frontier society, which contrasted sharply with the imperial center that promoted unified cultural values and stood in the way of a greater degree of transregional integration. As this project shows, it was the northwesterners who went through a process of political peripheralization during the Later Han times played a harbinger role of the disintegration of the empire and eventually led to the breakdown of the early imperial system in Chinese history.

  • The Effect of Serfdom on Labor Markets†
    The effect of serfdom on labor markets† Peter Sandholt Jensen Cristina Victoria Radu Battista Severgnini Paul Richard Sharp Department of Business and Economics, University of Southern Denmark Campusvej 55, DK-5230 Odense M, Denmark Abstract This research provides evidence on how restrictions on labor mobility, such as serfdom and other types of labor coercion, impact labor market outcomes. To do so, we estimate the impact of a large shock to labor mobility in the form of the reintroduction of serfdom in Denmark in 1733, which was targeted at limiting the mobility of farmhands. While many economists, historians and others have argued that serfdom had an impact on the mobility and wages, revisionist historians have countered that workers found ways to circumvent the restrictions imposed by serfdom. Using a unique data source based on 18th century estates, we test whether serfdom affected the wages of farmhands more strongly than other groups in the labor market using a differences-in-differences approach, and find evidence consistent with a strong negative effect on serfdom following its introduction. We also investigate whether one mechanism was that boys with rural backgrounds were prevented from taking up apprenticeships in towns, and find suggestive evidence that this was indeed the case. Thus, our results suggest that serfdom was effectively reducing mobility.

  • The King's Power Dominating Society—A Re-Examination of Ancient Chinese
    The King's Power Dominating Society—A Re-examination of Ancient Chinese Society Liu Zehua Abstract In terms of social formation, the most important characteristic of traditional Chinese society was how the king’s power dominated the society. Ever since the emergence of written records, we see that ancient China has had a most prominent interest group, that of the nobility and high officials, centered around the king (and later the emperor). Of all the kinds of power exerted on Chinese society, the king’s was the ultimate power. In the formation process of kingly power, a corresponding social structure was also formed. Not only did this central group include the king or emperor, the nobles, and the bureaucratic landlords, but the “feudal landlord ecosystem” which was formed within that group also shaped the whole society in a fundamental way. As a special form of economic redistribution, corruption among officials provided the soil for the growth of bureaucratic landlords. At the foundation of this entire bureaucratic web was always the king and his authority. In short, ancient Chinese society is a power-dependent structure centered on the king’s power. The major social conflict was therefore the conflict between the dictatorial king’s power and the rest of society. Keywords king’s power; landlord; social classes; despotism; social form Society of Imperial Power: Reinterpreting China’s “Feudal Society” Feng Tianyu 1 Abstract To call the period from Qin Dynasty to Qing Dynasty a “feudal society” is a misrepresentation of China’s historical reality. The fengjian system only occupied a secondary position in Chinese society from the time of Qin.

Remaking Chineseness: The Transition Of Inner Asian Groups In The Central Plain During The Sixteen Kingdoms Period And Northern Dynasties Abstract This dissertation aims to examine the institutional transitions of the Inner Asian groups in the Central Plain during the Sixteen Kingdoms period and Northern Dynasties. Starting with an examination on the origin and development of Sinicization theory in the West and China, the first major chapter of this dissertation argues the Sinicization theory evolves in the intellectual history of modern times. This chapter, in one hand, offers a different explanation on the origin of the Sinicization theory in both China and the West, and their relationships. In the other hand, it incorporates Sinicization theory into the construction of the historical narrative of Chinese Nationality, and argues the theorization of Sinicization attempted by several scholars in the second half of 20th Century. The second and third major chapters build two case studies regarding the transition of the central and local institutions of the Inner Asian polities in the Central Plain, which are the succession system and the local administrative system.

  • Service Workers: Governmentality and Emotion Management
    Service Workers: Governmentality and Emotion Management By Hing Ai Yun Abstract That all may be quiet on the shop floor could be a result of governmentality pro- jects. But what lies beneath an appearance of professionalism? I undertook an empirical field study of workers in the service industry to examine contradictory and competing interests of employees and their employers and observed the dy- namic constitution of subjectivity in situations of conflict. Based on a study of 56 service workers, this study first looks at the consensual orientation of workers towards their employment, then discusses a number of common demands required of workers in the service sector and investigates how workers deal with these management demands. My investigation of service workers disclose the internal- ised struggles experienced in their commitment to a prescribed, official image while attempting to maintain, at the same time, an integrous sense of self. By col- lecting stories of actual situations, I am able to show how patterns of emotion management, effectiveness of governmentality project, and agency work together to shape social behaviour in working life.

  • Knowledge Worker Creativity and the Role of the Physical Work Environment
    Forthcoming in Human Resource Management Knowledge worker creativity and the role of the physical work environment. Jan Dula,b, Canan Ceylanc, Ferdinand Jaspersb b Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. c Department of Business Administration, Uludag University, Bursa, Turkey ABSTRACT The present study examines the effect of the physical work environment on the creativity of knowledge workers, compared with the effects of creative personality and the social-organizational work environment. Based on data from 274 knowledge workers in 27 SMEs, we conclude that creative personality, the social-organizational work environment, and the physical work environment independently affect creative performance. The relative contribution of the physical work environment is smaller than that of the social-organizational work environment, and both contributions are smaller than that of creative personality. The results give support for HR practices that focus on the individual, on the social-organizational work environment, and on the physical work environment in order to enhance knowledge worker creativity. KEYWORDS Human resource management, work environment, creativity, SME, knowledge worker 1 1. Introduction Knowledge workers or “the creative class” (Florida, 2005) are viewed as core to the competitiveness of a firm in a knowledge-based economy (e.g. Lepak & Snell, 2002). These employees are involved in the creation, distribution, or application of knowledge (Davenport, Thomas, & Cantrell, 2002), and the worker’s brains comprise the means of production (Nickols, 2000; Ramírez & Nembhard, 2004). Knowledge workers are the source of original and potentially useful ideas and solutions for a firm’s renewal of products, services, and processes (e.g. Amabile, 1988).

This era was significant to both Russia and the United States because each country experienced tremendous reforms including the abolitions of their unfree labor institutions. Generally, Northern Americans viewed serfdom as a milder form of forced labor and suspected that it would be eradicated soon. Abolitionists used rumors of Russian emancipation to advocate for the end of American slavery.

  • Education in the Knowledge Society: Genesis of Concept and Reality
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION 2016, VOL. 11, NO. 17, 9949-9958 OPEN ACCESS Education in the Knowledge Society: Genesis of Concept and Reality Alexander O. Karpova aBauman Moscow State Technical University, Moscow, RUSSIA ABSTRACT The aim of the article is to define the content of theoretical ideas about education in the knowledge society in terms of the birth of its social reality. It is shown that the genesis of the concept of education in the knowledge society goes back to the period of 1950-1960s and is due to the emergence of new qualities of an industrial worker that the knowledge worker inherits. In 1957 P. Drucker (1957) formulates an idea of advanced training and in 1968 the principle of continuing education to train the knowledge worker. Their relation to the concept of distributed education by P. Drucker is revealed. It is stated that the key institutions of the knowledge society are university and school established on the principles of research training and related scientific and cognitive continuity. The concept of dynamic competence is defined; the relationship of creative learning with the reality of the knowledge society is shown. The analysis of fundamental contradictions of education in the knowledge society is given. KEYWORDS ARTICLE HISTORY Education, society, learning, competence, creativity Received 21 August 2015 Revised 20 July 2016 Accepted 15 August 2016 Introduction In the middle of the XXth century in the socio-economic reality of industrially developed countries of the world there was a move in the direction of a knowledge society.
