  • Cultural Imaginations of Piracy in Video Games
    FORUM FOR INTER-AMERICAN RESEARCH (FIAR) VOL. 11.2 (SEP. 2018) 30-43 ISSN: 1867-1519 © forum for inter-american research “In a world without gold, we might have been heroes!” Cultural Imaginations of Piracy in Video Games EUGEN PFISTER (HOCHSCHULE DER KÜNSTE BERN) Abstract From its beginning, colonialism had to be legitimized in Western Europe through cultural and political narratives and imagery, for example in early modern travel reports and engravings. Images and tales of the exotic Caribbean, of beautiful but dangerous „natives“, of unbelievable fortunes and adventures inspired numerous generations of young men to leave for the „new worlds“ and those left behind to support the project. An interesting figure in this set of imaginations in North- Western Europe was the “pirate”: poems, plays, novels and illustrations of dashing young rogues, helping their nation to claim their rightful share of the „Seven Seas“ achieved major successes in France, Britain the Netherlands and beyond. These images – regardless of how far they might have been from their historical inspiration – were immensely successful and are still an integral and popular part of our narrative repertoire: from novels to movies to video games. It is important to note that the “story” was – from the 18th century onwards –almost always the same: a young (often aristocratic) man, unfairly convicted for a crime he didn’t commit became an hors-la-loi against his will but still adhered to his own strict code of conduct and honour. By rescuing a city/ colony/princess he redeemed himself and could be reintegrated into society. Here lies the morale of the story: these imaginations functioned also as acts of political communication, teaching “social discipline”.

  • Captain Jack Sparrow JRPC Version
    The Ambiguous Captain Jack Sparrow: Destabilizing Gender, Politics and Religion in Disney’s Pirates of the Caribbean Dr. Jennifer E. Porter (Memorial University) [email protected] ABSTRACT: Scholars have argued that Disney films reflect a nostalgia for a white, colonial, male-oriented Christian past and an uncritical acceptance of overtly consumerist culture. This article examines these academic criticisms of Disney through the lens of Disney’s film trilogy Pirates of the Caribbean. The paper argues that Disney’s Pirates films destabilize traditional models of gender, politics and religion through the figure of Captain Jack Sparrow. Exploring Jack as a Trickster figure highlights dichotomies such as good and evil, life and death, male and female, human and divine, democracy and imperialism, and points to a broader trend within these Disney films to problematize accepted categories. As a result, the article suggests that Disney’s ideological “message” is much more nuanced in these films than academic critics give Disney credit for. [1] Pirates of the Caribbean debuted as a “dark ride” at Disneyland in 1967; modeled on imagineer Marc Davis’ sketches, it was the last ride to be conceived and built while Walt Disney himself was alive, and opened to the public three months after his death.i The ride consists of a series of vignettes, showing audio-animatronic pirates, both living and dead, indulging in various piratical pursuits. When the Walt Disney Company decided to make a film based on the popular ride, a number of screen and story-writers

  • OPEN SCENARIO the Pirates of the Caribbean
    OPEN SCENARIO The Pirates of the Caribbean OPEN SCENARIOS GUIDELINES This programme is delivered in 20 hours ideally divided in sessions of 1 hour each. It is possible to change the structure according to the school’s needs (for example 2 hours sessions or 45 minutes sessions); in any case, the duration and the number of HIIT exercises must be kept as described as any alteration would compromise and invalidate the effectiveness of the sportive training. The total number of hours for the delivery of the programme should not be less than 20. 20 hours divided in: - 1 introductory lesson - 7 episodes (one Open Scenario) to repeat twice (2 hours per episode) = 14 hours - 4 lessons ‘extra’ to be used freely - 1 final lesson (with parents) In order to keep the programme effective and to give the best outcome to all the participants, it is recommended a maximum number of 20 participants per session. SUGGESTED STRUCTURE OF EACH SESSION - Game to know each other and to build the group - Why Theatre and Sport go together: discussion on the meaning and affinity of sport and theatre plus delivery of two games* - Introduction to the Programme* - Introduction to dramatization and improvisation: games and exercise* - Presentation of the Story chosen by teachers (Harry Potter /Jack Sparrow / Peter Pan)* - Introduction to the episode and building of the set in the space with the class - Description of the space from the theatrical perspective. (for example: a ladder is a mountain to climb, a mattress is a lake to swim in it) - Discussion on the outcomes of the episode - Dramatization of the beginning of the episode (for example in Harry Potter: performance of magic, sounds, of magic, words of magic, searching for Harry, calling Harry).
