SEAP Brown Bag Lecture Series, “Looking back at “the deck of the ship:” architecture, society and violence aboard the ships of the Dutch East India Company”
Van Leur criticized Eurocentric historians for viewing the Indies “from the deck of the ship,” but what did that perspective mean and how was it constructed? This paper addresses space, society and violence aboard the ships of the Dutch East India Company, showing the directors’ attempts to organize their highly diverse vessels and crews via uniform work and seafaring practices, while relying on largely unacknowledged cultural and spatial traditions.
