Niemand kann sagen, was vor dem Anfang des Lebens war und was nach dessen Ende kommt - oder ob es überhaupt Anfang und Ende gibt, die unabhängig sind von kulturellen Mustern. Das Weltbild der Moderne baut allerdings auf solchen Unterscheidungen auf. Denken wir nur zum Beispiel an Immanuel Kant, der dem Menschen einen freien Willen zugesteht, weil er die Fähigkeit hat, sich an den Anfang von etwas zu setzen. Der vorliegende Band versammelt Texte aus verschiedenen kulturwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen, die unterschiedliche Perspektiven auf Anfang und Ende entwickeln und, an ausgewählten Beispielen, chronologisch und thematisch ein weites Feld abdecken - von der Antike bis zur Postmoderne, von historischen Quellen bis zum Film, von der Philosophie bis zur Medienwissenschaft, von William Shakespeare bis Michael Ende, von ersten Sätzen in der Literatur bis zu Schlüssen in der Musik. Das ist sicher nicht das Ende der Beschäftigung mit dem Thema, aber immerhin ein - hoffentlich vielversprechender - Anfang!

This Open Access book, Crisis and Legitimacy in Atlantic American Narratives of Piracy: 1678-1865, examines literary and visual representations of piracy beginning with A.O. Exquemelin’s 1678 Buccaneers of America and ending at the onset of the US-American Civil War. Examining both canonical and understudied texts—from Puritan sermons, James Fenimore Cooper’s The Red Rover, and Herman Melville’s “Benito Cereno” to the popular cross-dressing female pirate novelette Fanny Campbell, and satirical decorated Union envelopes, this book argues that piracy acted as a trope to negotiate ideas of legitimacy in the contexts of U.S. colonialism, nationalism, and expansionism. The readings demonstrate how pirates were invoked in transatlantic literary production at times when dominant conceptions of legitimacy, built upon categorizations of race, class, and gender, had come into crisis. As popular and mobile maritime outlaw figures, it is suggested, pirates asked questions about might and right at critical moments of Atlantic history.
