    Biographical note: Die Kulturanthropologin und Filmemacherin Martina Kleinert durchsegelte mit ihrem Partner für Dreharbeiten in der Südsee den halben Pazifik. Dort entdeckte sie ihr Forschungsfeld der Weltumsegler. Heute lebt sie in Berlin. Main description: Unter Segeln um die Welt - wie viel Realität verträgt der Traum? Die erste deutschsprachige Ethnographie »gewöhnlicher« Weltumsegelungen diskutiert in einmalig umfassender Weise die Lebenswelt von Fahrtenseglern. Die Kulturanthropologin und Filmemacherin Martina Kleinert untersucht im Kontext von mobile culture studies, Reise- und Migrationsforschung die sozialen Beziehungen an Bord und in der Seglergemeinschaft - der Cruising Community -, aber auch die materielle Kultur der Fahrtenyacht selbst. Und sie behandelt die zentrale Frage nach der historischen Entwicklung: Veränderte GPS wirklich alles, und endete damit eine Ära? Segelten in den 1970ern durchwegs junge Zivilisationsflüchtlinge, während heute nur mehr wohlhabende Ruhestandsmigranten die südliche Sonne suchen? Main description: Around the world under canvas - how much reality can this dream take? The first German ethnography of »ordinary« circumnavigations discusses the life of cruising sailors in a uniquely comprehensive way. Cultural anthropologist and film maker Martina Kleinert investigates the social relationships on board and within the "cruising community", but also the material culture of the cruising yacht itself in the context of mobile culture studies and travel and migration research. And she raises the central question about the historical development anew: Did GPS really change everything, and does this mark the end of an era? Furthermore: Did only young civilization escapists sail in the 1970s, while only wealthy retirement migrants searching for the southern sun remain today?

    "Thirteen Rivers' is a tale of pirates, hurricanes, war parties, betrayal, revenge, ship-wreck, kidnapping and murder in a chronicle of events only life itself could inspire. What became of the 208 people who left France bound for La Louisiane? In 1685, French explorer Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle and his followers arrived on the Gulf coast seeking the mouth of the Mississippi River, tis fertile farmlands and lucrative profits of a year-round seaport. Instead he found a wilderness inhabited by Karankawa Indians, feral beats and misery, five-hundred miles off course of his intended destination. Was their leader a visionary of his time or a madman? And how was La Salle to know that, in reality, thirteen broad and treacherous rivers sprawled between his fort on the Gulf of Mexico and the might Mississippi. This is their story, retold from the journal pages of First Lieutenant Henri Jontel. --

    A raíz de sus ataques a las costas de España y a sus posesiones ultramarinas, el corsario inglés Sir Francis Drake (c. 1540-1596) representó una amenaza constante para el dominio político y mercantil del imperio español en las últimas décadas del siglo XVI. Las interpretaciones narrativas de sus ataques a los territorios españoles en América trajeron consigo los argumentos desde los cuales tanto españoles como ingleses reclamaron soberanía y posesión del Nuevo Mundo. Como fruto de esta rivalidad, los escritores españoles e ingleses utilizaron las mismas estrategias retóricas, y expresaron las mismas demandas para diseñar y respaldar sus respectivos imperios transatlánticos. El presente estudio examina las representaciones del corsario inglés Sir Francis Drake en la literatura española e inglesa de los siglos XVI y XVII. Se analizan ambos corpus textuales en virtud del contencioso intercambio de información que ocurrió entre ambos países durante la temprana edad moderna; un tópico que no ha sido explorado previamente en detalle y que da cuenta de cómo la piratería se utilizó como un arma retórica en una guerra ideológica. Al analizar ambos corpus simultáneamente, Disputas de altamar demuestra que los escritores españoles reconstruyeron la historia del descubrimiento y conquista de América a la luz de lo que escribían sus adversarios, y viceversa

    Biographical note: Die Kulturanthropologin und Filmemacherin Martina Kleinert durchsegelte mit ihrem Partner für Dreharbeiten in der Südsee den halben Pazifik. Dort entdeckte sie ihr Forschungsfeld der Weltumsegler. Heute lebt sie in Berlin. Main description: Unter Segeln um die Welt - wie viel Realität verträgt der Traum? Die erste deutschsprachige Ethnographie »gewöhnlicher« Weltumsegelungen diskutiert in einmalig umfassender Weise die Lebenswelt von Fahrtenseglern. Die Kulturanthropologin und Filmemacherin Martina Kleinert untersucht im Kontext von mobile culture studies, Reise- und Migrationsforschung die sozialen Beziehungen an Bord und in der Seglergemeinschaft - der Cruising Community -, aber auch die materielle Kultur der Fahrtenyacht selbst. Und sie behandelt die zentrale Frage nach der historischen Entwicklung: Veränderte GPS wirklich alles, und endete damit eine Ära? Segelten in den 1970ern durchwegs junge Zivilisationsflüchtlinge, während heute nur mehr wohlhabende Ruhestandsmigranten die südliche Sonne suchen? Main description: Around the world under canvas - how much reality can this dream take? The first German ethnography of »ordinary« circumnavigations discusses the life of cruising sailors in a uniquely comprehensive way. Cultural anthropologist and film maker Martina Kleinert investigates the social relationships on board and within the "cruising community", but also the material culture of the cruising yacht itself in the context of mobile culture studies and travel and migration research. And she raises the central question about the historical development anew: Did GPS really change everything, and does this mark the end of an era? Furthermore: Did only young civilization escapists sail in the 1970s, while only wealthy retirement migrants searching for the southern sun remain today?

    The story of Everett Ruess, who disappeared in the wilderness of Southern Utah in 1934, has for decades been one of the most intriguing mysteries of western lore. A Californian off on an adventure at age 20, he loved poetry, nature, art, and beauty. His family tracked his wanderings for four years, and then Everett disappeared without a trace. In 2008 an old Navajo Indian came forward with information that he had witnessed a murder in 1934, probably that of young Ruess. The bones were recovered, DNA testing was done, National Geographic Adventurer picked up the story, and the family r
