of theft and terrorism. The figure of the pirate, be it the maritime figure or the copyright infringer, has been inscribed in a narrative of the non-European Other. Pirates have come to define the boundaries and identity of Western civilization. </span></h3>

The opposition to a Euro-American copyright regime that has surfaced with irregular intervals since the 18th century, recently culminating in the file sharing debates, also questions fundamental concepts of modernity, such as those involving the private-public
and property rights-free speech dichotomies. This division is particularly evident today as the challenges to copyright reflect a general crisis of property rights; destabilizing the distinction between commodities and public resources evident in the wave
of privatization and the distribution of costs and responsibilities in the wake of the global financial crisis.</div>

The goal of this workshop is to explore piracy as a meaningful entry point to the analysis of changing relationships, identities and cultural practices in an era of socio-cultural destabilization that blurs the lines between culture, economy and knowledge.
Piracy presents new conceptual dimensions as it connotes both predatory as well as emancipatory practices. How do we research this phenomenon and what new knowledge does it promote?</div>

How do we position piracy in terms of the predatory and/or the violent?<br>
How do we understand piracy in the context of modernity/modernism?<br>
How do we understand piracy in the context of (post)colonialism?<br>
Can piracy only be defined in the context of capitalism?</div>
