MÆRSK President for Three Years At the annual general meeting of the Danish Shipowners' Association on May 25, Mr. Ib Kruse was elected President after having served as Vice- MÆRSK President for three years. It is an important and demanding task that Mr. Kruse has undertaken in addition to his other areas of responsibility and POST activity. I am convinced that as President of the Danish Shipowners' As- sociation he will make a fine and competent contribution to Danish ship- ping. We wish him luck. At the Association's annual general meeting, Mr. Kruse said that as a Published by A.P.

That is a considerable effort and it is our hope that we may continue it and thus continue to provide many young people a future at sea. There are many examples of this valuable maritime training eventually leading to responsible positions ashore. Mr. T. Dilling and Mr. Bent E. Hansen thus started their careers as apprentices. Mr. Dilling closed his career as a very capable and respected Managing Director of Odense Steel Shipyard and Mr. Bent E. Hansen is today Executive Vice-President in A.P. Møller responsible for the Technical Organization. And many chief engineers who started in the company as youngsters have ended up in important positions ashore, in the Company or in the associated undertaking.

  • 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.

From academic and financial to editorial and emotional, I was never lacking in support. I am truly thankful, not to mention lucky. Sarah Burns, my advisor and mentor, supported my ideas, cheered my successes, and patiently edited and helped me to revise my failures. I also owe her thanks for encouraging me to pursue an unorthodox topic. From the moment pirates came up during one of our meetings in the spring of 2005, I was hooked. She knew it, and she continuously suggested ways to expand the idea first into an independent study, and then into this dissertation. My dissertation committee – Janet Kennedy, Patrick McNaughton, and Beverly Stoeltje – likewise deserves my thanks for their mentoring and enthusiasm. Other scholars have graciously shared with me their knowledge and input along the way. David M.

LLOYD* & ROBERT L. SUMMERS** ABSTRACT Collective efforts among governments and regional organizations is a vital part of the fight againstpiracy that represents a security threat to all nation- states with respect to freedom to navigate the high seas. This paper provides a concise overview ofpiracy, contemporarymaritime drug laws, and cases among the circuit courts to illustrate the procedural concerns that affect fundamental constitutional principles of jurisdiction. A possible solution to existing substantive and procedural due process issues is establishment of a regional judicial institution with broadpowers to preside over criminalprosecutions that include maritime crimes. The suggestion may be a viable means to resolve some concerns with respect to jurisdictionalprinciples, regional stability, and the need for a comprehensive, coordinated response within the Western Hemisphere. Establishing a tribunal to.preside over enforcement practices alleviates dependency on the existing legalframeworkthat may notfully resolve jurisdictionalissues associated with maritime drug trafficking. In addition, a regionaltribunal minimizes the needfor the UnitedStates tofunction as the only viable, sovereign nation-state in the Americas to ensure that pirates engaged in illicit trades are not roaming the high seas with impunity. * J.S.D., St.
