  • Caribbean Pirates and the Representation of Colonialism
    Abstract Tales of piracy are influenced by popular media that romanticize it. For instance, Treasure Island and Pirates of the Caribbean created a romantic pirate image, with specific pirate tropes that now everyone is familiar with. This romantic pirate image is based upon Caribbean pirates from the Golden Age of Piracy. A current game, namely; Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag (Ubisoft Montreal, 2013), that is settled within this Golden Age of Piracy in the colonial Caribbean around 1715 also deals with the romanticization of piracy. This is because consumers have certain expectations when it comes to pirates. This period of time being dominated by colonialism causes that the representation of piracy in popular media is tied up with the representation of colonialism, and consequently the subaltern. A romantic representation of Caribbean pirates could therefore be problematic for their representation. For this reason, this research adds to the existing debate surrounding postcolonialism and game studies by focusing on how/whether romanticization affects the representation of colonialism, and consequently the subaltern. The research uses a plurality of play, because play explains whether the subaltern is controlled or been given agency, and because playing in a different way than following the game allows for new insights. Hereby have implied play and exploratory play been used to investigate how piracy is represented while playing according to the rules. Transgressive play is further used in order to investigate what the boundaries of the representation of piracy are, and what the role of the player is. All of this has then been placed in relation to the romantic pirate genre, and representation of the subaltern.

These are characters fueled by the power of metaphor, lost in the idea of America as they expose the fabulism of reality itself through their absurd attempts to realize their often idealistic wishes and longings. They hunt treasure in the forest of northwestern Pennsylvania, shoot hot air balloons out of the sky, run major celebrities down with their cars on nights of blinded judgment, and even kidnap roadrunners. They stage protests for bigots’ funerals, wage strange wars with dairy farm animals, have misguided epiphanies in checkout lanes, and write urgent letters to Santa Claus himself. These pieces seek to render the biblical commonplace and highlight the profundities of everyday trivialities. As is suggested by the collection’s parenthetical subtitle,A Good Time Holiday Eight-Track for the Real American, these are stories that strive to be musical.

  • The London School of Economics and Political Science the Ideological Origins of Piracy in International Legal Thought Tor Krever
    The London School of Economics and Political Science The ideological origins of piracy in international legal thought Tor Krever A thesis submitted to the Department of Law of the London School of Economics for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, London, May 2018 1 Declaration I certify that the thesis I have presented for examination for the PhD degree of the London School of Economics and Political Science is solely my own work other than where I have clearly indicated that it is the work of others (in which case the extent of any work carried out jointly by me and any other person is clearly identified in it). The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 88,133 words. 2 Abstract This thesis explores the origins of the pirate in international legal thought. It takes as its starting point the recent wave of piracy off the coast of Somalia, mapping the image of the pirate constructed by contemporary legal commentators. The figure of the pirate that takes shape is the archetype of illegitimacy and epitome of enmity in international law: hostis humani generis. Where and when did this figure first emerge in international legal thought? My argument is twofold. First, against dominant transhistorical accounts which project the pirate backwards in an unbroken arc from the present to antiquity, I show that its juridical identity has been marked by fundamental discontinuities and transformations.
