description | High seas are subject to mythical representations of sailors. Fictions carry off this image of crews facing the elements onboard their ship. The seas are then considered as a source of values. Movies and documentaries focus more on the social aspect since 2000, showing sailors as victims of globalization; scriptwriters also start to focus on contemporary piracy. The reality is complex. High seas are crisscrossed by commercial ships where a workforce from emerging countries’ has replaced Western and Japanese crews. High seas are the outpost of globalization: recurrent deregulation (open registries), as the international conventions tend to better manage work and living conditions on board. Solidarity is getting stronger in open seas and on shore. Being a sailor on high seas is at the same time living in a ship, on his own workplace, living mobility and the hazards of globalization on the frontier of the deregulation of work and a new regulation driven by international organizations, trade unions and religious solidarity. |
