Pirates, Looting, Historiography, Early GlobalizationAbstract
The purpose of this essay is to analyze the different perspectives from which pirates and their history have been viewed, whether in relation to maritime looting, the formation of the capitalist world economy, the expansion of empires in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries, or simply with the cultural and daily aspects that they developed in their life. It seeks to observe the existence of pirates as characters who essentially became global subjects due to the specific dynamics of their activity and the manifestations in a series of transformations that affected other subjects around the globe, mainly in the Atlantic maritime space, during early globalization.
