  • 'God's Friend, the Whole World's Enemy'
    This article from Netherlands Journal of Legal Philosophy is published by Eleven international publishing and made available to anonieme bezoeker ‘God’s Friend, the Whole World’s Enemy’ Reconsidering the role of piracy in the development of universal jurisdiction. Louis Sicking ‘And so if justice is left out, what are kingdoms except great robber bands? For what are robber bands except little kingdoms? The band also is a group of men gov- erned by the orders of a leader, bound by a social compact, and its booty is divided according to a law agreed upon. (…) Alexander the Great (…) [asked] a certain pirate whom he had captured (…) what he was thinking of, that he should molest the sea, he said with defiant independ- ence: “The same as you when you molest the world! Since I do this with a little ship I am called a pirate. You do it with a great fleet and are called an emperor.”’ Augustine, The City of God.1 1 Introduction Piracy, including the ways in which it was viewed over time, is predominantly considered the way David Luban does in his article with the telling title ‘The Enemy of All Humanity.’2 This common approach takes Cicero’s concept ‘enemy of all’ (communis hostis omnium) as a point of departure and ends with the special place piracy holds today within the field of international law because of the uni- versal jurisdiction that applies. In between legal scholars are mentioned who used or adapted Cicero’s expression, including the medieval jurist Bartolus Saxoferrato (1314-1357) and the early modern jurist Alberico Gentili (1552-1608) who con- nected piracy with the law of nations.

  • The Efoto-Project: Narrative Construction of the Past and Semi-Automated Data Curation
    The efoto-project: Narrative construction of the past and semi-automated data curation Mareike Katharina Schumacher, University of Hamburg Abstract: The efoto project is a cooperation between the Cultural Ministry of Hamburg, the University of Hamburg and numerous archives, museums and libraries of the city. Its overall aim is to create a large image database of the city and make it accessible to the public. Access is provided via a mobile appli- cation which has been developed as part of the project. In the content narratives are seen as the central link between image data and users, and the images in the database can be enriched with narrative elements at different levels. Partner institutions can create city walks with them and users can comment on them or record audio notes with their personal narratives in addition to the images. In this article we want to show how scientific insights and workflows are used to create or initiate narratives that supplement the historical photographs. In the first place images and metadata are provided digitally. Narratives in the form of comments and audio notices will be added by users once the application goes public. During the efoto-project it became apparent that in our partner institutions, there are no ready-made city walks already available for mobile application. As city walks are time-consuming to create or to convert into the right format for a mobile application, we developed the model of semi-auto- mated digital data curation presented in this article. In our attempt to develop the model we used strategies from narrative and cul- tural theory, digital humanities and historiography.

  • Home of Diversity Lower Saxony – from the Flat Coastal Region Bordering the North Sea Through to the Low Mountain Ranges in the Harz
    State Chancellery of Lower Saxony Home of Diversity Lower Saxony – from the flat coastal region bordering the North Sea through to the low mountain ranges in the Harz. Dear Reader, Lower Saxony is one of the most innovative and most diversified federal states in the Federal Republic of Germany. No other state is so diverse, which is already evident in the wide range of landscapes. This wide variety is also reflected in the interplay of history and modernity, tradition and future. The same is true for the people in Lower Saxony. They are characterised not only by the various regions but also all the different countries of origin. The economy in Lower Saxony is booming in a wide range of industries. Here you can find both traditional craftsmanship and innovative companies with international standing. Lower Saxony offers its residents and guests an excellent quality of life. Pristine natural landscapes and pulsating metropolitan flair, along with an outstanding range of cultural activities, are right around the corner from each other. On the following pages, I would like to present you with a few impressions of Lower Saxony. This is merely a small selection. Lower Saxony is much more than this. Warmest greetings Your Stephan Weil Minister-President of Lower Saxony Lower Saxony historical Although Lower Saxony was only established as a federal state in 1946, it is brimming over with history and stories. In 1995, the oldest still-preserved hunting weapons of mankind were discovered in Schöningen (District of Helmstedt): the 300,000 year-old Schöningen spears. In 9 BC, the area now known as Lower Saxony was the scene of an event of worldwide historical significance: In the present- day Kalkriese near Bramsche (District of Osnabrück), Germanic tribes led by Arminius annihilated three Roman legions under Varus, thus putting a stop to Roman expansion into Germania.

After the last year’s epic clash between the Christian and Pagan armies in the Great Scandinavian Crusade, I am happy to present you the Hanseatic League and smart merchants, brave Tetonic Knights, sneaky pirates and their struggle for power and profit. I am glad that you have chosen this committee and I am sure that it will be an unforgettable experience. As you will probably recognise soon, researching and preparing for a historical crisis is different from the preparation for an ordinary UN-Committee. Sometimes it is very hard to find useful information and if you find any, they often contradict each other (see Final notes on the Study Guide and historical accuracy). Because you are not the only ones facing this difficulties, don’t worry. If you read the Study Guide and the additional information we will provide carefully you will be well prepared for the crisis.

  • Hanse Traders and Victual Brothers in Skjernesund and Other Outports of Southernmost Norway in the Early Fifteenth Century
    Pirates and merchants – Hanse traders and Victual Brothers in Skjernesund and other outports of southernmost Norway in the early fifteenth century FRANS-ARNE H. STYLEGAR, PÅL NYMOEN AND GUNNAR EIKLI Stylegar, F.-A. H., Nymoen, P., Eikli, G. 2019. Pirates and merchants – Hanse traders and Victual Brothers in Skjernesund and other outports of southernmost Norway in the early fifteenth century. AmS-Skrifter 27, 245–257, Stavanger, ISSN 0800-0816, ISBN 978-82-7760-183-0. Friend or foe? Trader or pirate? Commercial shipping along the archipelago of southern Norway in the early fifteenth century could be a risky business. Hanseatic skippers must have had detailed knowledge of sailing routes and good harbours along the route past Lindesnes towards Bergen. Among a chain of good natural harbours, Skjernesund near Mandal formed a hub, a protected inner route consisting of several good harbour areas sheltered from the exposed Skagerrak north of Skjernøya. An overview of dated shipwrecks along the coast of southern Norway is presented and their context discussed in relation to why they wrecked. It is striking that the majority of wrecks have been found in port areas. The most common interpretation of these wrecks individually is that there are natural explanations for these as losses at sea. By comparing the written sources and historical events from the main period of these shipwrecks, it is probable that in many cases the cause was piracy. Frans-Arne H.
