Abstract:

Abstract Piracy is both an ancient and a modern social ill. Yet in American popular culture pirates have emerged as dashing heroic figures and Robin Hoods of the Sea. Some examples of this transformation of the pirate image from criminal to popular hero are explored in British and American fiction, cinema and other forms of popular culture.

CHARLES JOHNSON (edited and with introduction by DAVID CORDINGLY). New York: Lyons Press. 1998 [Orig. 1724]. xiv + 370 pp. (Cloth US$ 29.95)The subject of piracy lends itself to giddy jokes about parrots and wooden legs, but also talk of politics, law, cultural relativism, and of course Hollywood. This selection of new books on piracy in the Caribbean and beyond touches on all these possibilities and more. They include a biography of the ever-controversial Elizabethan corsair, Francis Drake; an encyclopedia of piracy in history, literature, and film; a reissued classic eighteenth-century pirate prosopography; and an anarchist-feminist political tract inspired by history and legend. If nothing else, this pot-pourri of approaches to piracy should serve as a reminder that the field of pirate studies is not only alive and well, but gaining new ground.

Abstract:

In this field note article, I discuss my in-progress historical novel about privateering in the 17th century to demonstrate how adult education feminist theories of situated learning have influenced my fiction-based research. I introduce situated learning in gendered communities of practice, explain women’s experiences in (para)military organizations, and describe fiction-based research. I then compare theoretical concepts and quotations with excerpts from my fiction to explore feminist situated learning adult education theories, women in non-traditional roles, fiction-based research, and how women’s lives from the 17th century connect to those in the 21st. I conclude with a discussion of how adult educators can use fiction to engage with theory in their own teaching and research. In ways similar to Watson (2016), who argues that “fiction offers sociologists a medium for doing sociological work” (p. 434), in this article, I explore how fiction can offer adult educators a medium for doing pedagogical work.

Abstract:

AbstrakPenggunaan historical fiction pada media populer seperti komik, film, game, dan lain-lain dengan pendekatan hiburan banyak menarik minat masyarakat untuk melihat berbagai fenomena sejarah. Penyampaian dengan pendekatan hiburan ini tentunya menjadi kekuatan dari genre historical fiction untuk dapat digunakan dalam mengangkat berbagai tema-tema sejarah Indonesia. Salah satu fenomena penting dalam sejarah maritim Indonesia yang tidak umum diketahui adalah fenomena ‘bajak laut’. Fenomena bajak laut yang marak di Indonesia pada masa kolonial merupakan bagian dari sejarah Nusantara yang penting karena pada dasarnya fenomena bajak laut di Nusantara tidak sepenuhnya merupakan gejala kriminal, namun juga merupakan bentuk perjuangan masyarakat maritim terhadap para penjajah pada masa lampau. Mengangkat tema ‘bajak laut’ melalui genre historical fiction dapat menjadi upaya untuk menyampaikan peristiwa sejarah maritim melalui pendekatan hiburan dan juga dapat membuka sudut pandang baru bagi masyarakat dalam melihat fenomena ‘bajak laut’ itu sendiri. Komik sebagai media hasil perancangan dipilih dengan melihat potensi media komik dan antusiasme pembaca komik di Indonesia yang sangat tinggi. Perancangan menggunakan metode design thinking and making dari Matt Cooke mulai dari tahap definition, divergent dan transformation menjadi tahapan yang digunakan dalam proses perancangan untuk menghasilkan karya desain yang terstruktur dan bisa menjangkau audiens dengan mudah dan luas. Kata Kunci: bajak laut, historical fiction, komik, Nusantara AbstractThe use of historical fiction in popular media such as comics, films, games, and others with an entertainment approach has attracted a lot of public interest in various historical phenomena. The presentation with entertainment approach is one of the potential of historical fiction genre and can be used in conveying Indonesian history. One of the most important phenomena in Indonesia's maritime history that is not commonly known is the story of 'piracy'. Piracy that flourished in Indonesia during the colonial period was an important part of maritime history because it was not entirely a criminal phenomenon, but was also a form of the battle against the colonialists. Bringing up the theme of 'piracy' through the historical fiction genre can be an effort to convey maritime historical events through an entertainment approach and can also open new perspectives for the public in seeing the phenomenon of 'piracy' itself. Comics were chosen by considering the potential of comics media and the high enthusiasm of comic readers in Indonesia, by using the Matt Cooke’s design thinking and making method from the definition, divergent and transformation it is hoped that the comics can become a medium that can reach an audience easily and widely.

Abstract:

AbstractWhile captivity narratives have long been recognized as an important field of research in American Studies, the substantial body of autobiographical tales portraying captivity in the Muslim world published in England between the late sixteenth and early eighteenth century has only recently begun to attract the attention of literary scholars. Despite a number of important pioneering works, however, British captivity narratives have not only remained at the margins of early modern studies, but even where they have received attention they have mainly been treated as historical source material. In other words, there has hardly been any interest in the genre of captivity narratives as a textual and literary phenomenon in its own right. As a consequence, most of the published stories in question lack thorough narrative analysis, although the genre is situated at the intriguing intersection of travel literature, religious writing (e. g. tales of martyrdom), and prose fiction, and arguably constitutes one of the forerunners of the early novel. This paper proposes that we need to go beyond the limits of current research by rereading British tales of captivity with a stronger interest in their narrative composition, their discursive and generic contexts, and the pragmatics of publishing. Only in this way it will be possible to both do justice and draw more sustained attention to this highly fascinating and yet still understudied genre of literary texts.

Abstract:

In the late sixteenth century, thriving private maritime trade brought forth maritime trouble to the late Ming state. In times of rampant “Japanese” piracy and Hideyoshi’s invasion of Korea, Chinese literati composed unofficial histories and vernacular fiction on China’s foreign relations. Among them, Yan Congjian 嚴從簡 wrote Shuyu zhouzi lu 殊域周咨錄 (Records of Surrounding Strange Realms) (1574), He Qiaoyuan 何喬遠 compiled Wang Xiangji 王享記 (Records of the Emperors’ Tributes) (1597–1620), Luo Yuejiong 羅曰褧 penned Xianbin lu 咸賓錄 (Records of Tributary Guests) (1597), and Luo Maodeng 羅懋登 composed a vernacular novel Sanbao taijian xiyangji tongsu yanyi 三寶太監西洋記通俗演義 (Vernacular Romance of Eunuch Sanbao’s Voyages on the Indian Ocean) (1598). This article examines how the imminent maritime realities reminded the late Ming authors of one cross-border war and two genocides in Java and Sanfoqi during Yuan and early and mid-Ming times. These transgressions that violated Chinese official tributary order became memorable and made Sino-Java relations a definite point of comparison for the late Ming maritime piracy problems. This article argues that the cultural memory of Sino-Java military and diplomatic exchange enabled the authors to lament and condemn the executed pirates Wang Zhi and Chen Zuyi. The four authors imbue their narratives with personal anxieties and nationalistic sentiments. While the historical narratives tend to moralize and idealize China’s tributary world order, the vernacular fiction paints a more realistic picture of the late Ming state by involving heterogeneous voices of the “other.” Collectively, the four narratives represent various images of the Ming Empire, revealing the authors’ deep apprehension of the Mings’ identity, their political criticism of the state, and their divergent and even self-conflicted views toward maritime commerce, immigrants, and people of different races.

Abstract:

The “condition of England” in the middle of the nineteenth century was, for most Victorians (and is, indeed, for most modern scholars of the Victorian period), about as far removed from desert pirates and neo-Grecian queens as London from Jerusalem. But such was not the case in 1847 for the ambitious novelist-turned-politician Benjamin Disraeli, himself a mixture of political and social incongruities, who chose to conclude his political trilogy with a novel that bore greater resemblance to an Arabian Nights fantasy than to any mid-Victorian reform fiction. Contemporary readers of Tancred, or The New Crusade (1847) were understandably perplexed: “There is no principle of cohesion about the book, if we except the covers,” complained one reviewer (qtd. in Stewart 229). And, while critics have expanded upon this dismissive condemnation throughout the twentieth century, not much has changed regarding the general critical appraisal or thoughtful analysis of what Disraeli regarded as the favorite of his compositions (Blake 215). The least popular of the Young England novels both in its own day and in ours, Tancred has most frequently been viewed as an anomaly – an abandonment of the political manifesto Disraeli began in Coningsby and continued in Sybil.

Abstract:

Chapter Three of The Misfortunes of Alonso Ramírez, attributed to the Novohispanic polymath Carlos de Sigüenza y Góngora but widely believed to be based on a true account, tells the tale of the title character’s captivity among English pirates, who supposedly torture him for the information they need to execute savage raids on Spanish positions in the Philippines, and then plunder their way from Cambodia to Madagascar and Brazil. Nicole Legnani situates the excerpt in the larger story told by the novel as a whole and discusses the novel’s place in the broader context of colonial Latin American literature and its transpacific commitments.

Abstract:

This chapter focuses on Xu Xu’s fiction from the 1930s and 40s, providing analyses of his main short stories and novels from this period, demonstrating how Xu’s work transitioned from modernist experimentation to popular romances after his return from studies in France. Xu’s bestselling short stories and novels were often set abroad and featured exotic, otherworldly characters, such as ghosts, spies, pirates and gypsies. In many of these works, the cosmopolitan, rational and educated male protagonist encounters a mysterious, elusive, otherworldly woman. Eventually, the truth is revealed and the mysteries are uncovered, vindicating the modern outlook of the male narrator. With their references to traditional literature, abnormal psychology and sexual desire, such works frequently echo Shi Zhecun and Mu Shiying’s writings from a decade earlier, yet Xu’s writings are mainly escapist entertainment rather than an attack on rational modernity or the status of art in society.

Abstract:

The second chapter explores the transition from missionary texts to a more secularized portrayal of the islands in adventure fiction. I begin with George Vason, an LMS missionary who “went native” and lived amongst the islanders, which serves as a transition between conversion narrative and adventure fiction. The emerging genre of “boy’s fiction” emphasized entertainment rather than moral edification, while the works of authors such as Frederick Marryat and R.M. Ballantyne act primarily as propaganda for the growing empire. Marryat deliberately rewrites The Swiss Family Robinson in his novel Masterman Ready both to offer a more “authentic” representation of British trade and to showcase the ways in which boys could best serve the growing empire. R.M. Ballantyne’s first Pacific novel, The Coral Island, also focuses on boys as “men of empire” but, through the character of Bloody Bill, warns against the dangerous implications of Pacific trade. In his later works, Gascoyne, the Sandal-wood Trader and The Island Queen, Ballantyne explores other alternatives for the future of the British presence in the Pacific, transforming pirates into productive traders and evaluating the effect of female leadership on the masculine tradition of Pacific fiction.

Abstract:

This chapter explores pirates, and pirate colonies, as imagined by Lord Byron and William Hone. The fictional pirates of these texts, like the pirates of A General History, are deeply implicated in the power structures that historical pirates tended to operate outside of: Byron’s and Hone’s pirates are tied to the nation, to the military, to religion, and to a sense of territory more generally. Reading The Corsair and The Bride of Abydos with the perspective of Hone and Don Juan in mind, this chapter argues that depictions of this particular kind of piratical failure function as a diagnosis of the imperial forces that threaten utopian imaginations, while Don Juan proposes a kind of spatial imagination that escapes rather than reinforces imperialism.

Abstract:

A one-time commercial illustrator, a playwright and a fiction writer, Jack Yeats spent much of his early adult life in in Devon, where he lived before he moved to Greystones, County Wicklow, in 1910. He loved to swim and to sail, and the characteristic he valued most was a wildness that he associated with a natural freedom, a liberty that drew him to paint travellers, fishermen, and circus performers. Wildness for Yeats was a freedom from self-consciousness and a capacity to act gaily, a characteristic he drew with vigor in his sketches of jockeys, boxers, and pirates for his children’s theatre. This last represented a freedom of the port and sea that was anchored in a much older culture of oceanic trade and discovery and the portals of this maritime world were a threshold between the diverse cultures that Yeats inhabited, which this chapter reads through his scrapbook collection.
