*Heroes or Enemies of All: (Re)Configurations of Sea Robbers in the Golden
Age of Piracy *

*(Roundtable)*

Though maritime pillage has existed for centuries, the words* pirate* and
*piracy* are controversial terms linked to one of the most debated
historical periods: the age of empire and colonialism. In fact, the Golden
Age of Piracy encompasses the period from approximately the sixteenth to
the eighteenth centuries when bands of sea robbers menaced commercial—and
sometimes even military—shipping in the Caribbean, the North American
eastern seaboard, the West African coast, and the Indian Ocean. This
interdisciplinary roundtable seeks to redefine the role played by pirates
and privateers in the ages of empire and colonialism through the analysis
of three categories of primary sources related to these phenomena:

   - philosophies, literature, and historical treaties that sought to
   appease wars during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries,
   - official documentation concerning privateering or piracy,
   - accounts of captains, crew members, or captives that served on
   privateering/pirate expeditions.

   *Please submit abstract proposals (up to 300 words) through this* *link

   *[Re]Interpretation and [Re]Configuration of Piracy in the Caribbean*
   *(Panel)*The study of piracy in the Caribbean and Central America brings
   with it several questions and interpretational dilemmas that frequently
   erupt in ambiguous conclusions. This is due to the fact that during the
   tumultuous late 16th century and early 17th century, the meaning of piracy
   depended on a number of factors: legal matters, customary perceptions of
   predation, geopolitical affairs, trade issues et alter. To increase the
   confusion, modern historians, especially English speakers, use the words
   pirates, privateers, buccaneers, and corsairs interchangeably.

   Based on the well-noted questions about piracy, maritime predation and
   geopolitics, this panel seeks to present an insight into two of the most
   important aspects of piracy in the Caribbean and Central America during the
   Early Modern era:


   - How have acts of maritime predation been perceived in relation to the
   concepts of jus ad bellum and jus in bello?
   - How did common people from the colonial territories perceive pirates?
   - To answer these questions, we welcome proposals for individual papers
   that discuss any aspect of piracy and maritime predation occurring in the
   Caribbean during the Early Modern period.
   - Possible themes are not limited to but include:
   cultural/socio-economic or/and historical impact of maritime predation, the
   law of maritime predation, stereotypes on piracy, gender issues, maritime
   predation, image of pirates and literature of piracy.

   *Please submit abstract proposals (up to 300 words) through this* *link

   and Spanish will be considered.
