This project aims to collect, explore, contextualise and analyse diaries written at European courts in the second half of the 18th century, both as texts, and as historical sources. At the early modern courts personal relations were determined by hierarchy and etiquette, and public life took prominence over private life. By the middle of the 18th century legitimacy of rank by birth and of the high costs of a ceremonial court was being eroded, both from the inside and the outside. There was also an increasing production of egodocuments, which has usually been interpreted as a sign of growing introspection and self-questioning, and connected with the "birth of the individual". Amongst key questions addressed in the project are to what extent the writing of a private diary at court was used to solve tensions between public and private and to create a separate persona? Was this persona, and in a wider sense the concept of person, inner-directed, or relational, that is determined by the place of the author within the court-hierarchy and family? To what extent was is shaped by the rituals of his or her environment? To what extent was it gendered? During the first two years the research will concentrate on the Dutch Stadholderate court. In the second stage the scope will be widened to the Prussian and Habsburg courts, to compare the results and test the hypotheses based on the Dutch case-study. Central to the project will be an in-depth comparison between three extensive court diaries, written in The Hague (Hardenbroek, 1759-1787), in Berlin (Lehndorff, 1750-1775) and in Vienna (Khevenhüller-Metsch, 1742-1776).

该项目旨在在18世纪下半叶在欧洲法院收集，探索，上下文化和分析日记，包括文本和历史资料。在早期的现代法院，个人关系由等级制和礼节决定，公共生活在私人生活中占有重要地位。到18世纪中叶，无论是从内部还是外部，都远离了出生和仪式法院的高昂成本。自我的生产也越来越多，通常被解释为内省和自我询问的标志，并与“个人的出生”有关。该项目中解决的关键问题之一是在何种程度上使用法庭上的私人日记来解决公共和私人之间的紧张局势并创建一个单独的角色？这个角色是由作者在法院等级和家庭中的位置决定的人，内部指导或关系的概念吗？他或她的环境的仪式在多大程度上塑造了？它在多大程度上是性别的？在最初的两年中，研究将集中在荷兰大厦法院。在第二阶段，范围将扩大到普鲁士和哈布斯堡法院，以比较结果并根据荷兰案件研究进行测试。该项目的核心将是在柏林（Lehndorff，1750-1775）和维也纳（Khevenhüller-Metsch，1742-1776）之间的三个广泛的法院日记（HAGENBROEK，1759-1787）之间的深入比较。
