Alexandra Ganser’s Crisis and Legitimacy in Atlantic American Narratives of Piracy, 1678–1865 sets out on an ambitious mission. The book enters an already crowded scholarly conversation – as noted in its introduction, ‘Pirates are everywhere today’ (1) – and attempts a new critical approach to their study. This novelty manifests itself both in the sophistication of Ganser’s arguments and the scope of texts she considers: the book comprises a plethora of genres, periods, methodologies and observations arranged chronologically and intended to demonstrate the inherent paradox of the pirate figure – a figure that exists in the liminal space between legitimate and illegitimate social orders. At the centre of Ganser’s thesis lies her contention that ‘pirate narratives articulate a Freudian return of the oppressed – of colonial violence and resistance in critical moments of North American history’ (4). Ganser uses these moments of crisis to conceptualize her readings of popular accounts of piracy. The book’s introduction lays the foundation of Ganser’s theoretical approach, which is firmly rooted in the sphere of cultural studies. Borrowing a term from literary theorist Edward Said, she employs a ‘contrapuntal’ lens through which to theorize her texts. This methodology allows her to foreground literary voices that have heretofore been drowned out by canonical writings – voices that often challenge received accounts of piracy. Chapter 2 considers the pirate against the backdrop of colonial legitimacy; the texts considered include the English translation of Alexander Exquemelin’s Buccaneers of America (1684) and the sermons of Cotton Mather. The third chapter turns to the Early American Republic and the Antebellum Period, and views its attendant pirate narratives through the lenses of freedom and oppression. Here, Ganser provides close readings of James Fenimore Cooper’s Red Rover (1827) and Maturin Murray Ballou’s Fanny Campbell (1844). In her fourth chapter – arguably her strongest – Ganser investigates theoretical links between piracy and slavery in the years before and during the American Civil War. Particularly engaging are her complementary analyses of M. M. Philip’s Emmanuel Appadocca (1854) and Herman Melville’s ‘Benito Cereno’ (1855–1856). The chapter closes with a fascinating discussion of piratical rhetoric during the Civil War itself: the images printed on Union envelopes provide the fodder for Ganser’s assessment. In its brief conclusion, the book proposes ways forward for the cultural study of the pirate. Book Reviews IJMH
亚历山德拉·甘瑟(Alexandra Ganser)的《大西洋裔美国人海盗叙事中的危机与合法性》(1678-1865)开始了一项雄心勃勃的使命。这本书进入了一个已经拥挤不堪的学术对话——正如其引言中所指出的,“海盗今天无处不在”(1)——并尝试了一种新的批判性研究方法。这种新颖性表现在甘瑟论点的复杂性和她所考虑的文本范围上:这本书包含了大量按时间顺序排列的流派、时期、方法和观察,旨在展示海盗形象的内在悖论——一个存在于合法和非法社会秩序之间的边缘空间中的人物。甘瑟论文的核心是她的论点,即“海盗叙事阐明了被压迫者的弗洛伊德式回归——北美历史关键时刻的殖民暴力和抵抗”(4)。甘瑟利用这些危机时刻来构思她对盗版流行报道的解读。这本书的引言奠定了甘塞尔的理论方法的基础,这种方法牢固地植根于文化研究领域。借用文学理论家爱德华·赛义德的一个术语,她采用了一个“对位”的镜头来对她的文本进行理论化。这种方法使她能够展望迄今为止被规范著作淹没的文学声音——这些声音经常挑战公认的盗版报道。第二章考察了殖民合法性背景下的海盗行为;所考虑的文本包括亚历山大·埃斯克梅林的《美国海盗》(1684)的英译本和科顿·马瑟的布道。第三章转向美国共和国早期和南北战争前时期,并通过自由和压迫的视角来看待随之而来的海盗叙事。在这里,Ganser细读了James Fenimore Cooper的《红漫游者》(1827)和Maturin Murray Ballou的《芬妮·坎贝尔》(1844)。在她的第四章中——可以说是她最有力的一章——甘瑟调查了美国内战前和内战期间海盗和奴隶制之间的理论联系。特别吸引人的是她对M.M.Philip的Emmanuel Appadocca(1854)和Herman Melville的“Benito Cereno”(1855-1856)的补充分析。本章最后对内战期间的海盗言论进行了引人入胜的讨论:印在联邦信封上的图像为甘瑟的评估提供了素材。在其简短的结论中,本书提出了海盗文化研究的前进方向。IJMH书评

odologies. Remarkably, for a book with a lot of numbers, it is eminently readable. My only fear is that the academic imprint and its monetization schemes will keep it from being read. Given that this might be a stumbling block towards a wide audience, I almost wished that the book were more technical. Of special interest to the readers of this journal will be the many ways that patterns of resistance were shaped by the maritime geographies within which convicts often found themselves situated. Chapter 5, on shipboard mutinies, is particularly interesting in this regard. Ships of transportation were not only floating prisons, but also hospitals – because the health of the workers was imperative – and factories – in the sense that they produced a commodity for a (labour) market. At sea and locked at the crossroads of these three entangled structures of confinement, dissent could turn mutinous, and even piratical. The book triumphs in the way that it convincingly relates such dramatic events – of which there were surprisingly many – to the more pedestrian forms of resistance, such as issuing threats, stopping work or simply running away. In this sense,Unfree Workers tells a story that fluidly combines the extraordinary and the everyday. For anyone who is even vaguely intrigued by either the subject or the methodology, this is a thrilling and inspiring work.
气味。值得注意的是,对于一本有很多数字的书来说,它的可读性非常强。我唯一担心的是,学术印记及其货币化计划会使它无法被阅读。考虑到这可能会成为吸引广大读者的绊脚石,我几乎希望这本书更具技术性。这本杂志的读者特别感兴趣的是,罪犯经常身处的海洋地理环境在许多方面塑造了抵抗模式。关于船上兵变的第五章在这方面特别有趣。运输船不仅是浮动监狱,也是医院——因为工人的健康至关重要——还有工厂——因为它们为(劳动力)市场生产商品。在海上,被锁在这三个相互纠缠的监禁结构的十字路口,异见人士可能会叛变,甚至海盗。这本书的成功之处在于,它令人信服地将如此戏剧性的事件(其中的事件数量惊人地多)与更普通的抵抗形式联系起来,比如发出威胁、停止工作或只是逃跑。从这个意义上讲,《无自由工人》讲述了一个将非凡与日常流畅结合在一起的故事。对于任何对主题或方法感兴趣的人来说,这是一部激动人心、鼓舞人心的作品。

completely objective accounts, as they were often framed by and included alternative views that were beneficial to their authors. The questionable feasibility of the research is also evidenced by the somewhat lacking conclusions within the contributions, which mostly close only with preliminary notes or minor summaries, admitting that the research is still a work in progress or emphasizing the need for additional research. While each contribution is fascinating in its own right, the notion of the ‘long eighteenth century’ relies on the representation and reliability of its supporting material, which at present does seem like a hurdle yet to be overcome. This special issue attempts primarily to show the practical feasibility of realizing Van Leur’s vision of the ‘long eighteenth century’ through contemporary research, while indicating its ability to rectify enduring Eurocentric and teleological historical assumptions and achieve a more comprehensive understanding of our global history. Despite much promise, the contributions appear unable to definitively establish the wider framework due to the aforementioned difficulties. Remarkable promise does, however, exist, as Shimada clearly portrays the scholarly advancements that have been made. The researchers have utilized exciting new sources and research approaches, gradually uncovering a deeper understanding of premodern Asian history. This special issue can therefore best be viewed as a stepping stone. For those involved in maritime and global history, it constitutes a fascinating read with inspiring topics and approaches. Through further efforts like this, a prominent eighteenth century could very well become a reality.
完全客观的叙述,因为它们通常由对作者有益的替代观点构成并包含这些观点。这项研究的可行性值得怀疑,这也体现在文章中有些缺乏结论,这些结论大多只以初步说明或小摘要结束,承认这项研究仍在进行中,或强调需要进一步研究。虽然每一项贡献本身都很吸引人,但“漫长的十八世纪”的概念依赖于其支持材料的代表性和可靠性,而目前这似乎是一个有待克服的障碍。本期特刊主要试图展示通过当代研究实现范对“漫长的十八世纪”愿景的现实可行性,同时表明其有能力纠正长期存在的以欧洲为中心和目的论的历史假设,并对我们的全球历史有更全面的了解。尽管有很大的希望,但由于上述困难,这些捐款似乎无法最终建立更广泛的框架。然而,由于岛田清楚地描绘了已经取得的学术进步,确实存在着显著的前景。研究人员利用令人兴奋的新来源和研究方法,逐渐揭示了对前现代亚洲历史的更深入理解。因此,这个特刊最好被看作是一块垫脚石。对于那些参与海洋和全球历史的人来说,这是一本引人入胜的读物,有着鼓舞人心的主题和方法。通过进一步这样的努力,一个突出的十八世纪很可能成为现实。

Book Review: The ‘Long Eighteenth Century’ in Maritime Asian History by Shimada Ryūto, ed. 《书评:亚洲海洋史上漫长的十八世纪》,岛田龙藤主编。

Within the historiography of global maritime history, the eighteenth century as an axis of research has often been regarded as a controversial concept. First introduced by the Dutch historian J. C. Van Leur in 1934, the axis rejected the conventional, positivist, Eurocentric focus of contemporary research, which primarily focused on the neighbouring centuries while reducing the eighteenth century to insignificance. In opposition, Van Leur coined the term the ‘long eighteenth century’, aiming to emphasize inter-Asian agency while limiting the assumed European influence. Shimada Ryuto has brought together a group of researchers with the aim of revitalizing and proving the feasibility of this concept. As editor of Acta Asiatica, he supports Van Leur’s proposal by stating how the eighteenth century as an analytical frame has a unique ability to convey the vibrant, transformative and predominantly Asian nature of this century, stimulating a much-needed reconsideration of past historical assumptions. The main goal of this special issue of Acta Asiatica is therefore described by Shimada as building ‘a new temporal axis for research’ (iii–iv), utilizing practical contributions that are capable of establishing a theoretical framework. As a new perspective within historical research, the eighteenth century is regarded as the Asian linchpin between conventional premodern and modern centuries. Equipped with diverging topics and methodologies, the contributions outline each author’s own research project, tied together through the eighteenth-century narrative. First, Peng Hao disputes the Japanese Sakoku policy (national seclusion, 鎖国) through a detailed analysis of the eighteenth-century commercial relations between Chinese and Japanese merchants in Nagasaki.

Van Leur在1934年首次提出了这一轴线,它拒绝了当代研究中传统的、实证主义的、以欧洲为中心的焦点,这种焦点主要集中在邻近的几个世纪,而把18世纪贬低为微不足道的。与此相反,Van Leur创造了“漫长的18世纪”一词,旨在强调亚洲间的代理,同时限制假定的欧洲影响。岛田龙人召集了一组研究人员,目的是振兴和证明这一概念的可行性。作为《亚洲学报》(Acta Asiatica)的编辑,他支持范leur的建议,指出18世纪作为一个分析框架,如何具有独特的能力来传达本世纪充满活力、变革和以亚洲为主的本质,从而激发人们对过去历史假设的重新思考。因此,岛田将这期《亚洲学报》特刊的主要目标描述为建立“一个新的研究时间轴”(iii-iv),利用能够建立理论框架的实际贡献。作为历史研究的一个新视角,18世纪被认为是亚洲传统前现代和现代之间的关键时期。这些著作采用了不同的主题和方法,概述了每个作者自己的研究项目,通过18世纪的叙述联系在一起。首先,彭浩通过对18世纪长崎中日商人商业关系的详细分析,对日本的闭关锁国政策提出了质疑。这项政策经过调整,以满足和适应当地的社会经济情况。随后,加藤新作检查
{"title":"Book Review: The ‘Long Eighteenth Century’ in Maritime Asian History by Shimada Ryūto, ed.","authors":"Thidrek Vossen","doi":"10.1177/08438714231194530","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/08438714231194530","url":null,"abstract":"Within the historiography of global maritime history, the eighteenth century as an axis of research has often been regarded as a controversial concept. First introduced by the Dutch historian J. C. Van Leur in 1934, the axis rejected the conventional, positivist, Eurocentric focus of contemporary research, which primarily focused on the neighbouring centuries while reducing the eighteenth century to insignificance. In opposition, Van Leur coined the term the ‘long eighteenth century’, aiming to emphasize inter-Asian agency while limiting the assumed European influence. Shimada Ryuto has brought together a group of researchers with the aim of revitalizing and proving the feasibility of this concept. As editor of Acta Asiatica, he supports Van Leur’s proposal by stating how the eighteenth century as an analytical frame has a unique ability to convey the vibrant, transformative and predominantly Asian nature of this century, stimulating a much-needed reconsideration of past historical assumptions. The main goal of this special issue of Acta Asiatica is therefore described by Shimada as building ‘a new temporal axis for research’ (iii–iv), utilizing practical contributions that are capable of establishing a theoretical framework. As a new perspective within historical research, the eighteenth century is regarded as the Asian linchpin between conventional premodern and modern centuries. Equipped with diverging topics and methodologies, the contributions outline each author’s own research project, tied together through the eighteenth-century narrative. First, Peng Hao disputes the Japanese Sakoku policy (national seclusion, 鎖国) through a detailed analysis of the eighteenth-century commercial relations between Chinese and Japanese merchants in Nagasaki. This policy was adjusted to meet and accommodate local socio-economic circumstances.
