Postmodern pirates offers a comprehensive analysis of disney's pirates of the caribbean series and the pirate motif through the lens of postmodern theories. Susanne zhanial shows how the postmodern elements determine the movies' aesthetics, narratives, and character portrayals, but also places the movies within hollywood's contemporary blockbuster machinery. The book then offers a diachronic analysis of the pirate motif in british literature and hollywood movies. It aims to explain our ongoing fascination with the maritime outlaw, focuses on how a text's cultural background influences the pirate's portrayal, and pays special attention to the aspect of gender. Through the intertextual references in pirates of the caribbean, the motif's development is always tied to disney's postmodern movie
