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”. -

Treasure Island
School Radio Treasure Island 3. Long John Silver and the Hispaniola Narrator: Three weeks after Jim Hawkins escapes the pirate gang with Billy Bones’ treasure map, he arrives in Bristol on a hot Sunday morning. What a city. The gateway to the Oceans of the World. Tea, sugar, cotton, coffee, slaves - aye, slaves - fill the streets and the docks. The great masts of a dozen fleets tower over the quays. Sailors, travellers, the rich and the poor throng the busy streets all of them hungry for money or food - or adventure. Jim has a note - he must find a Mr Silver who will show him to the Squire’s ship. Jim finds him all right down on the quayside - and there’s a shock, for as he comes up behind the man, he sees he has only one leg. Could this be the pirate, so feared by Billy Bones? Jim: Mister... Silver... sir? Long John Silver: Silver? Long John Silver you be intending to say, I’m sure, and who may you be? Narrator: Jim stares up. Tall and strong, with a face as big as a ham, intelligent and smiling, Long John Silver winks down at him. Jim relaxes - this man’s no pirate. Jim: Jim Hawkins, sir. Cabin boy to the new ship. Long John Silver: Is that so? Jim: Squire Trelawney’s ship. Sir. Long John Silver: Well, pleased I am to see you my boy. I’m ship’s cook - and now you’re come, we must go aboard. Hop in now. Narrator: With a graceful turn and a jump, Silver’s down into a little boat, untying the rope and preparing to row. -

We hear the creak of rigging on a ship set adrift. As the lights begin to dim, we hear menacing, thrilling music building in the background. When a single spot is left illuminating the chest, the music comes to a crashing climax and quickly subsides to continue playing in the background. With the musical climax, the lid of the chest opens with a horrifying groan. Light starts to emanate from the chest, and the spotlight dims. Voices and the sounds of action begin to issue forth from the chest. The music continues underneath.) VOICE OF BILLY BONES (singing) "Fifteen men on the dead man's chest - Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum! Drink and the devil had done for the rest - Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!" VOICE OF BLACK DOG Bill! Come, Bill, you know me; you know an old shipmate, Bill, surely. -

The Scourge of the Land and Sea. an Awful Outlaw Or a Romantic Hero?
The scourge of the land and sea An awful outlaw or a romantic hero? As long as people sailed through the rivers and the high seas there were those who tried to gain wealth by depriving others of their possessions. The existence of the sea rovers or, more precisely, sea robbers, is intricately connected with the developed commerce and conflicts among different communities and countries. In peaceful times in well-organized states piracy is usually viewed as an abomination and pirates are social outcasts living on the verge of normal communities under the strict official rule. They are the violent strangers, dealing with death and destruction, bringing flames, slavery and plunder. Hence the sea robbers are the aliens – cruel, colorful, constantly drunk, and, to some extent, free. They are definitely very different from the ordinary folks. In this article I would like to explain the difference between pirates and corsairs and present, in short, the tradition of Western piracy. The important factor of sea roving was the daily existence of mariners which distinguished typical sailors from land dwellers. I would like to describe the reality of life aboard the ship in the golden age of sail. It might be helpful in developing a better understanding of the romantic allure of piracy which survived to our very days. Johann Wolfgang Goethe in his probably most famous work, Faust, put into the mouth of Mephistopheles memorable words: I know a little of navigation: War, trade, and piracy, allow, As three in one, no separation1. And indeed: he was right. Nowadays – in the 21st century – the dire risk of being robbed while at sea does not want to cease to exist. -

Loechle ALL RIGHTS RESERVED iii Acknowledgments I am indebted to many people for the help and encouragement they have given me during the long duration of this project. 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. Lubin read a version of my third chapter and gave me helpful advice, opening up to me new ways of thinking about Howard Pyle in particular. -

Leaving the Mm:J.In to Ply About Lundy, for Securing Trade
Rep. Lundy Field Soc. 4 7 IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLACK ENSIGN: LUNDY'S PART IN PIRACY By C.G. HARFIELD Flat 4, 23 Upperton Gardens, Eastboume, BN21 2AA Pirates! The word simultaneously conjures images of fear, violence and brutality with evocations of adventure on the high seas, swashbuckling heroes and quests for buried treasure. Furthermore, the combination of pirates and islands excites romantic fascination (Cordingly 1995, 162-6), perhaps founded upon the popular and sanitised anti-heroes of literature such as Long John Silver and Captain Hook (Mitchell discusses how literature has romanticised piracy, 1976, 7-10). This paper aims to discover, as far as possible, the part Lundy had to play in piracy in British waters, and to place that in perspective. The nature of the sources for piracy around Lundy will be discussed elsewhere (Harfield, forthcoming); here the story those sources tell is presented. It is not a story of deep-water pirates who traversed the oceans in search of bullion ships, but rather an illustration of the nature of coastal piracy with the bulk of the evidence coming from the Tudor and Stuart periods. LUNDY AS A LANDMARK IN THE EVIDENCE The majority of references to Lundy and pirates mention the island only as a landmark (Harfield, forthcoming). Royal Navy ships are regularly recorded plying the waters between the Scilly Isles, Lundy and the southern coasts of Wales and Ireland (see fig. I) with the intention of clearing these waters of pirates, both British and foreign. For instance, Captain John Donner encountered English pirates ':fifteen miles distant from Lundy Isle" in April 155 7 (7.3.1568, CSP(D)).
