In Writing Pirates, Yuanfei Wang connects Chinese literary production to emerging discourses of pirates and the sea. In the late Ming dynasty, so-called "Japanese pirates" raided southeast coastal China. Hideyoshi invaded Korea. Europeans sailed for overseas territories, and Chinese maritime merchants and emigrants founded diaspora communities in Southeast Asia. Travel writings, histories, and fiction of the period jointly narrate pirates and China's Orient in maritime Asia. Wang shows that the late Ming discourses of pirates and the sea were fluid, ambivalent, and dialogical; they simultaneously entailed imperialistic and personal narratives of the "other": foreigners, renegades, migrants, and marginalized authors. At the center of the discourses, early modern concepts of empire, race, and authenticity were intensively negotiated. Connecting late Ming literature to the global maritime world, Writing Pirates expands current discussions of Chinese diaspora and debates on Sinophone language and identity.

Sea Narratives: Cultural Responses to the Sea, 1600-Present explores the relationship between the sea and culture from the early modern period to the present. The collection uses the concept of the ‘sea narrative’ as a lens through which to consider the multiple ways in which the sea has shaped, challenged, and expanded modes of cultural representation to produce varied, contested and provocative chronicles of the sea across a variety of cultural forms within diverse socio-cultural moments. Sea Narratives provides a unique perspective on the relationship between the sea and cultural production: it reveals the sea to be more than simply a source of creative inspiration, instead showing how the sea has had a demonstrable effect on new modes and forms of narration across the cultural sphere, and in turn, how these forms have been essential in shaping socio-cultural understandings of the sea. The result is an incisive exploration of the sea’s force as a cultural presence.

Am 7. November 1775 trat Goethe in den Kreis des Weimarer Hofes. Die im September des folgenden Jahres entstandene Dichtung »Seefahrt« gilt als biographisch getreuer Spiegel dieser veränderten Lebenswelt. Ziel der Untersuchung ist demgegenüber ein doppeltes: sie zeigt, daß dem Gedicht ein genau kalkuliertes poetologisches Programm zugrundeliegt, das Goethe in der Auseinandersetzung mit Salomon Gessners Idylle »Der Sturm« erprobte; sie entfaltet darüber hinaus den anthropologisch grundierten Erfahrungshorizont, in den die Meeresdichtung des 18. Jahrhunderts, von Barthold Heinrich Brockes und James Thomson über Wieland, Mendelssohn und Klopstock bis hin zu Stolberg und Herder, gestellt ist. Die Lebensstimmung, die in Goethes »Seefahrt« zum Ausdruck kommt, umreißt eine Situation, die den Menschen in der Krisis eines "physisch-moralischen" Konfliktes zeigt. Der Handlungsverlauf des Gedichts, das sich zunächst als präzise Kontrafaktur des Psalms 107 gibt, reflektiert im Kern eine Motivkonstellation, die sich als beinahe centonenhafte Überformung horazischer Dichtungen herausstellt. Herders Odenkonzept und Diderots Dramentheorie haben die strukturelle Einheit der Dichtung wesentlich geprägt. Zwanzig Jahre später hat Goethe diesen "physisch-moralischen" Konflikt zu einer ästhetisch-sittlichen Spannung umgedeutet: »Alexis und Dora« ist der spielerische Reflex einer Lebensform, die, wie in der Dichtung »Seefahrt«, die Lösung des Konflikts bewußt verweigert. Der Band enthält neben einem Ausblick auf die Meeresdichtung Heines, Baudelaires und Rimbauds sowie einem detaillierten Register den Erstdruck von Herders Horaz-Adaption »An ein Schiff«.
