摘要

摘要僵尸和海盗在质疑自由、奴役和生死的对立时,已经就(后)殖民关系进行了几个世纪的谈判。僵尸,注定要为主人服务的尸体或灵魂,将奴役的历史主题化,其中也包括叛乱。同样,海盗一方面被用来表达殖民冒险和剥削,另一方面则被用来表达超越既定权力关系的抵抗集体的想法。两者都被塑造成例外的人物,他们在法律和国家之外进行讨论,同时为两者发挥构成作用;这两个人物都有着矛盾的性格特征&英雄与罪犯、反叛者与奴隶、犯罪者与受害者。这篇开篇文章介绍了这些人物在大西洋领域的结合,重点介绍了他们对帝国和国家建设、法律话语和思想史以及当代文化和艺术研究的文化历史功能。

Liberty and death: Pirates and zombies in Atlantic modernity
ABSTRACT Questioning the opposition of freedom and enslavement and of life and death, zombies and pirates have negotiated (post)colonial relations for centuries. Zombies, bodies or spirits doomed to serve a master beyond death, thematize histories of enslavement which also include rebellion. Similarly, pirates were used to articulate colonial adventure and exploitation on the one hand and the idea of a resistant collective beyond established power relations on the other. Both have been cast as figures of exception who are discursively located beyond law and state while simultaneously playing a constitutive role for both; both figures are marked by ambivalent characterizations – hero and criminal, rebel and slave, perpetrator and victim. This opening essay introduces the conjunctures of these figures in the Atlantic realm with a focus on their cultural-historical functions for empire and nation building, for legal discourses and the history of ideas, as well as for contemporary cultural and artistic research.
