Resumo
The essay adopts a broadly used trope of piracy/'piracy' to exemplify the possible need for an individualistic and neo-vitalist agenda (along with a conventional and mutually intolerant 'postmarxist-communal' and/or 'liberal-pragmatist-policy-oriented' approach) regarding both the methodology and the social mission of cultural studies. Relevant regional and family history of/ from the Croatian/Slovenian/Italian three-border zone is considered, along with auto-ethnographic accounts of the author's own piratical inspirations and transgressions regarding his action research on sexual violence in South Korea. By juxtaposing political and personal chronologies with literary histories, and by situating outbursts of transgressive empowerment and revolutionary intervention side-by-side with tacit interstices and disruptions of violence, this contribution aims to evoke and exemplify the complexity of socially engaged cultural studies.
