Manning, I. K. "Piracy and sixteenth-century Ireland : a social history of Ireland's contribution to pre-Golden Age piracy." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2015. http://livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/3001684/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines a selection of High Court of Admiralty depositions pertaining to Ireland in the sixteenth-century. The seventeenth-century ushered in the ‘Golden Age’ of piracy as well as the plantation of southern Ireland by pirates. Prior to this, the Irish Sea was already active with ‘gentlemen of fortune’ plying their trade, acting as pawns of war, and providing goods through a black-market; thus creating the foundations for the expansion that followed. This thesis analyses the nature of piracy and its relationship with Ireland during the sixteenth century, by illustrating who may have gained from acts of seaborne depredation; and will further illuminate why the island was such a choice location for pirates to operate from and later relocate to. Following a political overview of sixteenth-century Ireland this thesis will cover three chapters, each focusing on a different level of society that benefited from piracy. Each section will analyses a set of cases, comprised of individual depositions, to understand the relationship of ‘political’ piracy, ‘official’ piracy and ‘buyer and merchant’ piracy in the context of Pre-Golden Age Ireland. The sources used in this study from the High Court of Admiralty are a resource that have remained largely untapped. The collection has yet to be edited and translated fully. The manuscripts held in the National Archives also remain un-digitized and are at risk of being lost from damage and general degradation. The present work helps to highlight the value of the Court of Admiralty records. The scans presented in the appendices and enclosed pen drive ensures the preservation of this important data as it relates to Ireland in the sixteenth century.

Bird, Miles T. "Social Piracy in Colonial and Contemporary Southeast Asia." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2013. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/691.
Full textAbstract:
According to the firsthand account of James Brooke, Rajah of Sarawak, it appears that piracy in the state of British Malaya in the mid-1800s was community-driven and egalitarian, led by the interests of heroic figures like the Malayan pirate Si Rahman. These heroic figures share traits with Eric Hobsbawm’s social bandit, and in this case may be ascribed as social pirates. In contrast, late 20th-century and early 21st-century pirates in the region operate in loosely structured, hierarchical groups beholden to transnational criminal syndicates. Evidence suggests that contemporary pirates do not form the egalitarian communities of their colonial counterparts or play the role of ‘Robin Hood’ in their societies. Firsthand accounts of pirates from the modern-day pirate community on Batam Island suggest that the contemporary Southeast Asian pirate is an operative in the increasingly corporate interest of modern-day criminal organizations.

Dick, Bryan. "Framing 'Piracy' : restitution at sea in the later Middle Ages." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2010. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/2244/.
Full textAbstract:
The focus of the thesis is the diplomatic and legal implications of the capture of ships at sea in the later Middle Ages. It challenges key assumptions in much secondary literature concerning the definition of piracy, seeking to explore several major themes relating to the legal status of shipping in periods of war or diplomatic tension in this period. The thesis draws primarily on diplomatic, legal and administrative records, largely those of English royal government, but also makes use of material relating to France, Holland and Zealand, Flanders and the Hanse. The majority of studies on this subject stress the importance of developments which occurred in the fifteenth century, yet I have found it necessary to follow the development of the law of prize, diplomatic provisions for the keeping of the sea and the use of devolved sea-keeping fleets back to the start of the thirteenth century. This thesis questions the tendency of historians to attach the term ‘piracy’, with its modern legal connotations, to a variety of actions at sea in the later Middle Ages. In the absence of a clear legislative or semantic framework a close examination of the complexity of practice surrounding the judgement of prize, the provision of restitution to injured parties, and diplomatic mechanisms designed to prevent disorder at sea, enables a more rounded picture to emerge. A detailed examination of individual cases is set within the broader conceptual framework of international, commercial and maritime law. Chapter 1 provides a study of the wartime role of devolved flees by means of a case study of Henry III’s Poitou campaigns of 1242-3. It demonstrates that private commissioned ships undertook a variety of naval roles including the transport of troops, patrolling the coast and enforcing blockades. Further, it argues that it is anachronistic to criticise private shipowners for seeking profit through attacks on enemy shipping as booty was an integral incentive in all forms of medieval warfare. Chapter 2 provides a detailed examination of the application of letters of marque, one of the principal means of obtaining redress for injuries suffered at the hands of the subject of a foreign sovereign. It demonstrates that far from being a justification for ‘piracy’ letters of marque were highly regulated legal instruments applied in the context of an internationally accepted body of customs. Chapter 3 examines the concept of neutrality and the relationship between warfare and commerce through a study of Anglo-Flemish relations during the Anglo-Scottish wars between 1305 and 1323. It argues that universal standards of neutrality did not exist in this period and that decisions on prize took place within the context of an ever-changing diplomatic background. Chapter 4 focuses on the provision of restitution once judgement had been made through an examination of a complex dispute between English merchants and the count of Hainault, Holland and Zeeland spanning the opening decades of the fourteenth century. It emphasises the ad hoc nature of restitution with a variety of means devised to compensate the injured parties and the difficult and often inconclusive process undergone by litigants against a backdrop of competing interests, both local and national. The thesis concludes that the legal process surrounding the capture of shipping was civil rather than criminal in nature. The plaintiff’s need to obtain restitution was the driving force behind such actions rather than the state’s desire to monopolise the use of violence at sea. The reliance of the English crown on devolved shipping made such a policy fiscally impractical.

Full textAbstract:
Piracy around the Malay Peninsula during the 19th century was extraordinarily prevalent and resulted in the death and loss of liberty for an untold number of people. This essay examines the connections between the piracy of this era and the political economies of the Straits Settlements and the Malay states in the region. Malays pirates often had the support of local rulers who required the goods and slaves brought back by pirates to reinforce their own political and socio-economic positions. The piratical system supported by the rulers was a component of the overall Malay economic system known as kerajaan economics, which helped maintain the status quo for Malay states. This system came under threat once Great Britain and the Netherlands worked to suppress piracy in the region and helped persuade the Malay elite to phase out state-sanctioned piracy. Some people living in Malaya took advantage of the characteristics of British and Malay political economies to engage in acts of piracy regardless of the policies of the British and Malay governments. This study of piracy enables us to understand better the experiences of people of various backgrounds living in 19th-century Malaya, along with how piracy influenced their worldviews.

Hasty, William. ""Decried and abominated in every place" : space, power and piracy, c.1680-1730." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2012. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/3773/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the historical geographies of piracy from around 1680 to 1730, a period in which the relations between pirates and the state changed dramatically. More specifically, the thesis aims to employ a distinctively geographical lens in the study of aspects of piratical and anti-piratical agency, focusing on four particular spatialities. Firstly, the thesis seeks to reanimate the pirate, to study their world through movement and mobilities, both real and imagined, to show how these mattered for the way pirates were rationalised by the state, and how their actual movements differed from those encoded in the notion of the ‘roving’ pirate. Secondly, this thesis shows how questions of space, power and politics played out aboard the pirate ship, attending specifically to certain spatial practices apparent among many pirates, whereby this thesis considers critically the extent to which politics was entangled with space in the life of the pirate afloat. Thirdly, it is suggested that the ‘mercantilist discourse’ that framed piracy as an existential threat to the development of the early-modern state and the accompanying changes to the institutional architecture and everyday practices of the state were underpinned by hitherto neglected geographies of power and representation. Finally, this thesis explores the dark and disturbing geographies of punishment visited upon the bodies of captured pirates. The prison, the gallows and the gibbet are shown to have been important sites in the move towards the social exclusion of the pirate, and it argued that this process of ‘othering’ was permeated with a distinctively geographical logic. These cuts each suggest new perspectives on the story of piracy and the ‘salt-water state’ in the late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth century, foregrounding important patterns, practices and processes that gave distinctive shape to the lives, deaths and legacies of pirates.

Full textAbstract:
This work examines Henry VIII’s contribution to the legal defining and treatment of piracy during his reign and his influence over subsequent Tudor monarchs’ own relationship with piracy and privateering. Through examination of the shift in legal language, piracy as a crime to a paid profession, and the ambiguous definition of who a pirate was it becomes clear that Henry’s reign witnessed a significant transformation in piracy which directly influenced diplomatic relations throughout Europe.

Atauz, Ayse Devrim. "Trade, piracy, and naval warfare in the central Mediterranean: the maritime history and archaeology of Malta." Diss., Texas A&M University, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/1969.1/437.
Full textAbstract:
Located approximately in the middle of the central Mediterranean channel, the Maltese Archipelago was touched by the historical events that effected the political, economic and cultural environment of Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. The islands were close to the major maritime routes throughout history and they were often on the border between clashing military, political, religious, and cultural entities. For these reasons, the islands were presumed to have been strategically and economically important, and, thus, frequented by ships. An underwater archaeological survey around the archipelago revealed the scarcity of submerged cultural remains, especially pertaining to shipping and navigation. Preliminary findings elucidate a story that contrasts with the picture presented by modern history and historiography. In this sense, a comparison of the underwater archaeological data with the information gathered through a detailed study of Maltese maritime history clearly shows that the islands were attributed an exaggerated importance in historical texts, due to political and religious trends that are rooted in the period during which the islands were under the control of the Order of Saint John. An objective investigation of the historical and archaeological material provides a more balanced picture, and places the islands in a Mediterranean-wide historical framework from the first colonization of the archipelago eight thousands years ago to the twentieth century.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis investigates the origins of the modern phenomenon of Somali piracy within a deeper historical context. More specifically, this analysis concentrates on the development of piracy in the north of the country. It is here contended that Somali piracy is, in fact, the product of the confluence of three historical currents. The first of these currents is the progressive degeneration of traditional Somali institutions due to exposure to the colonial and global markets. The second is the increasing reliance of northern Somalis on maritime resources due to over exploitation of the land and the fishing initiatives of the Barre regime. The final current is the intrusion of foreign fishing vessels into Somali territorial waters, beginning in the early 1990s, for the purposes of illegal fishing and the dumping of toxic waste.ID: 029809992; System requirements: World Wide Web browser and PDF reader.; Mode of access: World Wide Web.; Thesis (M.A.)--University of Central Florida, 2011.; Includes bibliographical references (p. 98-109).

Full textAbstract:
A life of piracy offered marginal men a profession with a degree of autonomy, despite the brand of “outlaw” and the fear of prosecution. At various times throughout history, governments and crowned heads suspended much of their piracy prosecution, licensing men to work as “privateers” for the state, supplementing naval forces. This practice has a long history, but in sixteenth-century England, Elizabeth I (1558-1603) significantly altered this tradition. Recognizing her own weakness in effectively prosecuting these men and the profit they could contribute to the government, Elizabeth began incorporating pirates into the English naval corps in peacetime—not just in war. This practice increased English naval resources, income, and presence in the emerging Atlantic World, but also increased conflict with the powerful Spanish empire.
By 1605, making peace with Spain, James VI/I (1603-1625) retracted Elizabeth’s privateering promotion, prompting an emigration of English seamen to the American outposts they had developed in the previous century. Now exiles, no longer beholden to the Crown, seamen reverted back to piracy. The Carolinas and Jamaica served as bases for these rover communities. In 1650, the revolutionary leader Oliver Cromwell (1649-1658) once again recognized the merits of such policies. Determined to demonstrate his authority and solidify his rule, Cromwell offered citizenship and state support to Caribbean exiles in exchange for their aiding of his navy in the taking of Spanish Jamaica. Official chartering of Port Royal, Jamaica served as reward for these men’s efforts and as the culmination of a century-long cycle of piracy legislation, creating one of England’s most lucrative colonies in the middle of a traditionally Spanish Caribbean empire.
Through legal and diplomatic records, correspondence, and naval and demographic records from England and Spain, this dissertation explores early modern piracy/privateering policy and its impact on the development of the Atlantic World. European disputes and imperial competition converged in these piracy debates with significant consequences for the definitions of criminality and citizenship and for the development of Atlantic empire.

Teye, Patrick N. "Barbary Pirates: Thomas Jefferson, William Eaton, and the Evolution of U.S. Diplomacy in the Mediterranean." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2013. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/1183.
Full textAbstract:
This study analyzes U.S. relations with the Barbary States from 1784 to 1805. After the American Revolution, the young nation found its commerce menaced in the Mediterranean by North African pirates sponsored by the rulers of Morocco, Tunis, Algiers, and Tripoli. As the U.S. sought to find a solution to end piracy and the practice of paying tributes or ransom to free Americans held captive, Thomas Jefferson proposed several solutions as a diplomat, vice president, and as president when he authorized the Tripolitan War (1801-1805). Thus, this look at U.S. relations with the Barbary States focuses on Jefferson’s evolving foreign policy proposals and argues that William Eaton’s secret mission in 1805 eventually reshaped U.S. policy in the Mediterranean and brought Jefferson’s ideas for a military solution to fruition. This change in policy would soon bring about the end of piracy against U.S. merchant vessels and the nation’s involvement in tributary treaties.

Full textAbstract:
The following essay examines the image of "Barbary piracy" created by two prominent political figures, Thomas Jefferson and William Eaton, and by the American public from 1784 to 1805, and how those images shaped the policy of the American-Barbary War. Eaton‟s Orientalist approach to describing piracy and the North African population limited his views of this region, thus reducing the American conflict to the annihilation of animalistic "brutes." Jefferson‟s practical approach to describing piracy and the North African population focused on emancipating the region from the corrupting influence of greed, allowing him the necessary flexibility to solve the conflict by either by military force or with peace treaties, whichever was necessary. I will show the impact that categorizing piracy as either the result of a depraved society or as a corrupting force had on both American perceptions of the North Africa people and on the outcome of the American-Barbary War.

Esra, Jo Ann. "The shaping of 'West Barbary' : the re/construction of identity and West Country Barbary captivity." Thesis, University of Exeter, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/10871/13906.
Full textAbstract:
Divided into three parts, this thesis maps a cultural history of Barbary captivity; concentrating on the early 17th century leading up to the Civil Wars; an aspect of British-Muslim contact within which the West Country is overrepresented in the archives. However, this wealth of material contrasts sharply with the paucity of popular and public-facing representations. Situating these accounts within wider contexts, this thesis investigates this contrast, exploring the social, cultural, emotional and economic impact of Barbary captivity upon understandings of place and identity. The first part examines representations of being taken captive, the terror and distress of West Country inhabitants, and the responses and concerns of the authorities. The on-going failure to protect the region and its seafarers exacerbated this distress, producing marginalised geographies of fear and anxiety. The second part explores the themes of memory and identity, arguing that how captives were remembered and forgotten had implications for localised and national identities. For those held in Barbary, families and communities petitioned and undertook ransom collections to redeem the captives, providing reminders to the authorities and appealing for wider remembrance as part of the processes of Christian compassion. Nevertheless, the majority of captives were ‘forgotten’, neither ransomed nor leaving their individual mark within the historical record. This part concludes with a discussion of the role of memory in managing and articulating the ‘trauma’ of captivity. The final part examines mobile and fluid identities, concentrating on returning captives and Islamic converts. Early modern theories of identity situated the humoral body of the captive as susceptible to ‘turning Turk’, contributing to wider negotiations of national, ethnic and religious identities. Cultural anxieties were preoccupied with the ill-defined borders of the geographically displaced material body, generating mutable, hidden and shameful identities. In conclusion, sites of cultural trauma are produced, indicated by the subsequent silence regarding this aspect of localised history.

Full textAbstract:
During the so-called ‘golden age’ of piracy that occurred in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans in the later seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, several thousands of men and a handful of women sailed aboard pirate ships. The narrative, operational techniques, and economic repercussions of the waves of piracy that threatened maritime trade during the ‘golden age’ have fascinated researchers, and so too has the social history of the people involved. Traditionally, the historiography of the social history of pirates has portrayed them as democratic and highly egalitarian bandits, divided their spoil fairly amongst their number, offered compensation for comrades injured in battle, and appointed their own officers by popular vote. They have been presented in contrast to the legitimate societies of Europe and America, and as revolutionaries, eschewing the unfair and harsh practices prevalent in legitimate maritime employment. This study, however, argues that the ‘revolutionary’ model of ‘golden age’ pirates is not an accurate reflection of reality. By using the ‘articles’ or shipboard rules created by pirates, this thesis explores the questions of pirates’ hierarchy, economic practices, social control, and systems of justice, and contextualises the pirates’ society within legitimate society to show that pirates were not as egalitarian or democratic as they have been portrayed, and that virtually all of their social practices were based heavily on, or copied directly from, their experiences in legitimate society, on land and at sea. In doing so, this thesis argues that far from being social revolutionaries, pirates sought to improve their own status, within the pre-existing social framework of legitimate society.

Alford, Brandon Wade. "Robert Searle and the Rise of the English in the Caribbean." UNF Digital Commons, 2019. https://digitalcommons.unf.edu/etd/885.
Full textAbstract:
This research examines the career of Robert Searle, an English privateer, that conducted state-sponsored attacks against the Spanish and Dutch in the Caribbean from 1655 to 1671. Set within the Buccaneering Period of the Golden Age of Piracy (1650-1680), Robert Searle’s personal actions contributed to the rise of the English in the Caribbean to a position of dominance over Spain, which dominated the region from 1492 until the 1670s. Searle serves as a window into the contributions of thousands of nameless men who journeyed to the Caribbean as a member of Oliver Cromwell’s Western Design Fleet. These men failed in their endeavor to take Hispaniola from the Spanish, successfully invaded Jamaica, and spent the next fifteen years securing England’s largest possession in the region, transitioning Jamaica from a military outpost to a successful plantation colony. These men, including Searle himself, have been overshadowed in the history of English Jamaica by more well-known figures such as Sir Henry Morgan, the famed “Admiral of the Buccaneers.”
Searle and his compatriots pursued the objectives of the core in London throughout the contested periphery of the Caribbean region. These goals were first framed as the complete destruction of the Spanish Empire in the Americas and later as achieving trade between Jamaica and Spain’s American colonies. The examination of Robert Searle through the core-periphery relationship between the metropole and the Caribbean illustrates how the totality of his actions contributed to the rising English position in the Caribbean. Ultimately, Searle and his fellow privateers proved vital to Spain conceding to England the rights of trade and formal recognition of their colonies in the region with a series of succeeding Treaties of Madrid.

Full textAbstract:
A noção de pirataria, pertencente ao vocabulário humano desde a Antiguidade, ganha novos sentidos no atual período histórico. Neste período da globalização, o modo de produção capitalista e o meio técnico-científico-informacional se tornaram planetários. Consolida-se, portanto, uma mesma base técnica do funcionamento das sociedades nos distintos territórios, acompanhada da globalização de normas de controle cada vez mais rígidas, como se procura mostrar, neste trabalho, a partir da expansão do sistema de patentes e de proteção de direitos intelectuais. Entretanto, as novas tecnologias informacionais e comunicacionais são progressivamente mais flexíveis e possibilitam, nos lugares onde se instalam, usos não previstos e, por isso mesmo, classificados como ilegais. Nesta pesquisa, defende-se que a expansão do meio técnico-científico-informacional no Brasil engendra novas formas de piratarias, sejam aquelas praticadas pelos agentes do circuito superior da economia urbana, sejam aquelas características do circuito inferior, de acordo com a proposição de Santos (1971; 2004 [1975]). A pirataria não pode, portanto, ser analisada como uma aberração ao processo de globalização em curso, mas, ao contrário, uma de suas manifestações mais notáveis. Assim, análises econômicas e jurídicas sobre o fenômeno, mesmo predominantes, não permitem a compreensão da totalidade dos agentes e situações envolvidos. O processo de urbanização do território combina a seletividade de objetos e informações, a desigualdade de renda e a manutenção de baixos salários, associados à ampla difusão de novas mercadorias cujo consumo é incentivado pela propaganda. Nesta situação brasileira, a pirataria, contraposta ao elevado preço das mercadorias ditas originais, tem uma função central no processo recente de modernização do território. Finalmente, almejando revelar a pirataria como um uso das técnicas e informações contemporâneas a partir dos lugares, são analisadas situações geográficas reveladoras de formas de vida e de produção baseadas na desapropriação como fonte de criação de novas economias urbanas, especialmente em São Paulo, Belém do Pará e Foz do Iguaçu - Ciudad del Este.The notion of piracy, which has been used by human vocabulary since old times, acquires a new sense during the historic period. At this globalization period, the way of capitalist production and the informational scientific technical environment have become worldwide. It consolidates, therefore, on the same technical basis of the society functioning in distinct territories, followed for the more and more rigid world rules of control, as it is presented, on this essay, on the expansion of legal right system and the protection of the intellectual rights. However, the new informational and communicational technologies are progressively more flexible and they allow, where they are set on, non-predict uses and, for that, classified as illegals. This research takes into consideration the expansion of the informational scientific technical environment in Brazil cause new ways of piracy, those that are practiced by the agent of higher circuit of the urban economy, or those whose features of the lower circuit, according Santos proposition(1971; 2004 [1975]). The piracy cannot, therefore, be analyzed as nonstandard to the globalization process in course, but, on the contrary, one of the most remarkable manifestations. So, economic and juridical analysis on the phenomenon, predominant or not, do not allow the comprehension of the totality of the involving agents and situations. The process of urbanizing of the territory combines the selectivity of objects and information, the social inequalities and the maintenance of low incomes, combined to the enormous diffusion of the new goods whose consumption is stimulated by propaganda. In this Brazilian situation, the piracy, contrasting to the higher price of goods so called originals, has a central function on the recent process of modernization of the territory. Finally, getting into the point to reveal piracy as a use of the up-to-date technics and information from the places, they are analyzed as revealed geographical situations of life style and of the production based on embezzlement as source of creation of an urban economy, especially in São Paulo, Belém do Pará and Foz do Iguaçu - Ciudad del Este.

Basee sur les quarante-neuf titres publies et sur les documents conserves en archives (lettres circulaires, correspondances, pieces comptables, documents officiels relatifs a la vie de l'association et a la pratique editoriale), l'etude se developpe selon trois axes : - reconstitution chronologique de la vie de la micro-entreprise - analyse des options et comportements, tant pour ce qui releve des choix editoriaux ou financiers que pour ce qui a trait aux methodes et techniques de travail (composition, impression, brochage, distribution. . . ). Cette analyse est completee d'une comparaison entre cette micro-entreprise et d'autres entreprises semblables de la decennie. - elaboration d'un catalogue raisonne des publications de l'entreprise comprenant, outre un signalement et une description materielle, un ensemble de sections decrivant des particularismes de contenu et de distribution ou relevant des elements sur la vie posterieure des publications (critiques, reeditions. . . )This thesis aims at clarifying the processes of a very small publishing house (non-profit making association, under the 1901 french act), set up in 1976 and which stop all activities in 1981. This association published magazines, original books and portfolios. It also reprinted in secret various texts, mainly from xxth century writers, unavailable for various reasons. Based on the 49 titles published and the documents archived (circulars, correspondence, accounting documents, official documents concerning the association and its publishing procedures), the study focusses on 3 points : - history of the activity, - analysis of options and behavioural aspects, dealing as well with edition and financial issues as with work methods and techniques (typesetting, printing, binding, distribution). The analysis is supplemented by a comparison between the micro-publishing house and similar publishing houses operating at the same period. - setting up of a "reasoned" catalog of the publications, including particulars and a physical description, and chapters describing the special characteristics relating to content and distribution or elements pertaining to post-publishing (critics, new editions. . . )

Cette thèse se présente comme un essai de socio-histoire de la profession plurielle de marin dans le royaume de Majorque sur la longue durée, de la conquête de l’île par Jacques Ier d’Aragon en 1229 au soutien majorquin à la conquête du royaume de Naples par Alphonse V le Magnanime dans les années 1440. La substitution de la notion de « professionnel de mer » à celle floue de « gens de mer », employée dans l’historiographie, permet d’observer plus précisément ces hommes, en discernant pour chacun, de manière synchronique et diachronique grâce à la reconstitution de trajectoires individuelles, compétences et activités navales, fonctions à bord, et statut social à terre, dans un contexte médiéval où les statuts juridiques, des aristocrates aux esclaves, occupaient une place centrale dans l’identification des individus et la hiérarchisation de la société majorquine. Dans trois grandes parties successives, l’étude articulée et interdépendante des dimensions pratiques, institutionnelles et sociales de cette professionnalisation offre ainsi des réalités vécues multiples, individuellement et collectivement, tant en mer qu’à terre, qui dépassent le simple cadre normatif présenté dans les différentes coutumes de mer, les collectifs professionnels et les juridictions maritimes en vigueur dans le royaume de MajorqueThis thesis is a socio-historical essay about the plural profession of mariner in the kingdom of Majorca over the long term, from the conquest of the island by James I of Aragon in 1229 to Majorcan support for the conquest of the kingdom of Naples by Alfonso V the Magnanimous in the 1440s. The substitution of the notion of "professional of the sea" for that of "seaman", used in historiography, allows for a more precise observation of these men, discerning for each of them, synchronously and diachronically thanks to the reconstitution of individual trajectories, naval skills and activities, functions on board, and social status on land, in a medieval context where legal status, from aristocrats to slaves, occupied a central place in the identification of individuals and in the hierarchisation of Majorcan society. In three main successive parts, the articulated and interdependent study of the practical, institutional and social dimensions of this professionalisation thus offers multiple lived realities, individually and collectively, both at sea and on land, which go beyond the simple normative framework presented in the different sea customs, professional collectives and maritime jurisdictions in force in the Kingdom of Majorca

ArqueólogoLa presente memoria se enmarca dentro del proyecto Fondecyt 1130279 “Arqueología en la Pampa del Tamarugal (Tarapacá, Andes Centro Sur): El período Formativo como discursos sobre naturaleza, cultura y resistencia (ca. 400 a.C.-900 d.C.)”, e incluye los restos materiales recuperados en los proyectos Fondecyt 1030923 y 1080458, todos al interior de la Región de Tarapacá y manteniendo la misma línea de investigación. Esta memoria consiste en el estudio arqueobotánico de los restos vegetales (carporrestos) provenientes de dos poblados del curso bajo de la quebrada de Tarapacá, específicamente los sitios Pircas y Caserones. El primero con fechas calibradas entre los 370 a.C. y 500 d.C. (Urbina y Adán 2007), situándolo en el Formativo Temprano; mientras que Caserones presenta fechas entre el 20 d.C. y el 1.020 d.C., con ocupaciones del Formativo Tardío y del Período Intermedio Tardío (Urbina, Adán y Pellegrino 2012). Dichos asentamientos y fechados corresponden a reevaluaciones de dichos sitios en la última década durante el transcurso de los proyectos Fondecyt mencionados (García y Vidal 2006; García et al. 2014; Méndez-Quirós 2012; Pellegrino 2013; Santa-Sagredo et al. 2015; Urbina et al. 2012; Uribe 2006; Uribe y Adán 2009); aunque fueron primeramente estudiados en la década de 1960 en adelante, cuando surgen los primeros postulados e interpretaciones sobre estos sitios (Núñez 1966, 1979, 1982, 1984 a y b; Meighan y True 1980)

Since 1980, peruvian communities, prompted by a development scheme defined by the serpaj (service non-violent latin amer ican movement) hare been trying to market their traditional craft, combining tradition with modernity. The trading techn iques they are using, allow them to depend their cultural values.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse présente l’analyse de la trilogie de José Manuel Fajardo (1957) constituée par les trois romans, Carta del fin del mundo (1996), El Converso (1998) et Mi nombre es Jamaica (2010). Ces trois œuvres font partie du sous-genre, roman istorique d’aventures. À travers l‘étude du temps, de l’espace et des personnages, ce travail de recherche a pour objectif de délimiter la part de l’histoire et de l’aventure au sein de ces trois œuvres qui renvoient à des périodes marquantes de l’histoire de l’Espagne (la conquête, le Siècle d’or). Les nombreuses références à l’expulsion des Morisques ou à la diaspora sépharade témoignent de la volonté de l’auteur de faire œuvre d’historien en sauvant de l’oubli certains pans de l’histoire d’Espagne délaissés par l’Histoire officielle. Cette récupération historique va de pair avec une fictionnalisation de cette matière historique (la découverte de l’Amérique, la piraterie au XVIIe siècle, dans les Caraïbes et en méditerranée) qui permet à l’auteur de créer de l’aventure. Cette aventure est vécue par les héros comme une quête identitaire qui les conduit, à travers la traversée d’innombrables espaces, vers leur Terre promise ; ce qui leur confère une indéniable épaisseur humaineThis thesis introduces the trilogy by José Manuel Fajardo (1957) composed of Carta del fin del mundo (1996), El Converso (1998) and Mi nombre es Jamaica (2010).These three works are part of the historical adventure novel sub-genre. Focusing on time, space and characters, this research work is aimed at making a distinction between history and adventure in these three works that refer to significant periods in the history of Spain (the conquest, the Golden Age). The numerous references to the expulsion of the Moriscos or the Sephardic diaspora show the author's willingness to work as a historian by saving fromoblivion some parts of Spanish history neglected by official history. This historical exploitation goes hand in hand with fictionalizing the historical matter _such as the discovery of America or piracy in the seventeenth century in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean seas_ which makes it possible for the author to create adventure. This adventure is experienced by the heroes as a search for identity that leads them, through the crossing of countless spaces, to their promised land; whichgives them potent human depth

Full textAbstract:
Genom att analysera domstolsmaterialet från rättegången mot fildelningssiten The Pirat Bay, i relation till en idéhistorisk diskussion om äganderätt, har uppsatsen funnit att den liberala tanketraditionen och dess juridiska institutioner står inför en betydelseglidning vad gället begreppsparet ”Egendom” och ”Stöld”. Det har visat sig att Lockes naturtillstånd, varseblivningen av ”det oändliga” på jorden, har skiftat plats; från ”naturen” ut till ”cyberspace”, vilket har resulterat i att fildelningstekniken skapat en ny matematik som omöjliggör tidigare egendomsdefinition.
