  • 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”.

    1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Language as a tool of communication is very important in the world. There are many countries which have different languages. English is used among English people and etc. English language is very important everywhere, because it is a tool of communication. Every country has different languages; they use language for their own society. But English language an international language in the world and if they want to communicate with other countries, they can use English. Many people use more than one language for communication. Communication to other people, need a certain communication tool to other people who speak the same language. International language is more effectively used in various countries, so people use English to communicate with others. Figurative language is expressed by means of metaphor or other figure of speech. Figurative language is addicted to or abounding in figures of speech. Figure of speech is unusual, essentially metaphorical mode of expression, used for effect in speech and writing and to clarify on deepen meaning by suggesting similitude’s which provoke thought. according to Potter (1967:53), The general term that will use for the figure of speech that make up figurative language is metaphor, much as the term imagery, which narrowly rivers to visual phenomena, is nevertheless used to cover other sense-impressions as well (Potter, 1967:53). Figure of speech change ordinary language through repetition, substitution, sound 1 2 and wordplay. They mess around with words, skipping them, swapping them, and making them sound different. It is often associated with literature and with poetry in particular.

The time period has been fictionalized and glorified by contemporary society, oftentimes weaving together factual accounts of the men and women who had a role in the Golden Age with dramatized fiction to provide us the tales of the swashbucklers we know today. What this research paper aims to do is to provide a factual account of what being a pirate in the Golden Age was truly like, while debunking the myths and legends that surround this era of maritime history. iv Introduction: A Pirate’s Life For Me The King and his men stole the Queen from her bed and bound her in her bones the seas be ours and by the powers where we will we'll roam Yo ho, all hands Hoist the colors high Heave ho, thieves and beggars Never shall we die Now some have died and some are alive and others sail on sea with the keys to the cage and the Devil to pay we lay to Fiddler's Green.

  • “Arrrr! to Hell with Convention!” Unpacking the Appeal of Pirates in Tampa’S Gasparilla Festival
    ROYAL ROAD “Arrrr! To hell with convention!” Unpacking the Appeal of Pirates in Tampa’s Gasparilla Festival Krista Davis Abstract: Historically, pirates of the 17th and 18th century had a reputation for being ruthless plunderers and scheming villains. However, despite their barbarous history, pirates are often romanticized in current popular culture in flms, books, and in Tampa’s Gasparilla festival. This romanticization of piracy allows society to forget the more accurate, brutal deeds of historical pirates in favor of a more light-hearted perception of them in popular culture, such as through the Pirates of the Caribbean flm series. By examining the representation of pirates in flm and in Gasparilla in relation to their historical counterparts, this essay explores how the idealized pirate has come to represent freedom and independence. Additionally, this essay argues that though the romanticization of pirates in flm and festival provides a means of collective release from societal pressure, the historical reality of piracy should not be forgotten. Western society has long been enraptured with pirates and pirate culture, most prominently since the 2003 release of the frst movie in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. This is evi- dent in children’s desire to dress up as pirates at events such as Halloween and in adults’ desire to do the same in the an- nual Tampa Bay Gasparilla festival. But what is it about piracy that is so appealing? When we consider Jack Sparrow’s lawful disobedience, or the Gasparilla festival’s glorifcation of pirate culture, we might infer that, despite their diferences, the one thing most of these would-be pirates share is the desire for dis- obedience against social structures.
