Diplomatic ceremonial events at the 1821 Congress of Ljubljana

Udovič, Boštjan (author), Žigon, Tanja (author), Kramberger, Petra (author)

The article focuses on ceremonial events at the often-neglected 1821 Congress of Ljubljana, on related media reports, and on the impact of these events on how the Congress proceeded. The analysis brings two main findings. Firstly, ceremonial events during the Congress of Ljubljana of 1821 were an important part of the Congress, and were also covered extensively by the media. Secondly, the aim of the Austrian political elite in organising the ceremonial events that accompanied the Congress of Ljubljana was not only to grease the wheels of diplomatic talks, but also to pursue a policy of its prestige, including by setting the esprit de corps of the main political leaders of the era.

• Title: Diplomatski ceremonialni dogodki na Ljubljanskem kongresu leta 1821

Abstract

Članek se osredinja na ceremonialne dogodke na pogosto (raziskovalno) zapostavljenem Ljubljanskem kongresu leta 1821, na medijska poročila, povezana s kongresom, ter na vpliv teh ceremonialnih dogodkov na potek kongresa. Analiza prinaša dve glavni ugotovitvi. Prvič, ceremonialni dogodki na Ljubljanskem kongresu leta 1821 so bili pomemben del kongresa, o njih so obširno poročali tudi takratni relevantni mediji. Drugič, cilj avstrijske politične elite pri organizaciji ceremonialnih dogodkov, ki so spremljali Ljubljanski kongres, ni bil le podmazati kolesja diplomatskih pogovorov, temveč tudi voditi politiko lastnega prestiža, med drugim z vzpostavljanjem esprit de corps glavnih političnih voditeljev tistega časa.
