Description: Introduction to this Volume
On a global scale, more than 40 million people make their living working
directly at sea as fishers, seafarers, in aquaculture or seabed-mining, or related
occupations such as dockworkers, shipbuilding, logistics, maritime administration,
secondary branches of shipping, marine tourism and other maritime
professions. Moreover, the world as we know it today would be inconceivable
without the maritime economy and the people who work in such maritime professions
(Kołodziej, 2022). Significant social developments such as industrialisation
or globalisation are historically and currently closely entangled with the
phenomenon that the Polish maritime sociologist Ludwik Janiszewski named
‘marinization’ (‘marynizacja’) (Janiszewski, 1988; see also: Kołodziej & Kołodziej-
Durnaś, 2022). With this concept, Janiszewski refers to a development of increasing
importance for human life and society, an increasing entanglement of the
terrestrial with the maritime realm (Kołodziej, 2019; Bryniewicz, 2004).

importance for human life and society, an increasing entanglement of the
terrestrial with the maritime realm (Kołodziej, 2019; Bryniewicz, 2004).
Since ancient times, the work of the maritime professions has connected
societies through maritime trade and extended the circulation of material
goods and people, but also of narratives, beliefs, ideas, languages, species, diseases,
violence, and cultures, to the entire world known at the time (Braudel,
1972). Global maritime trade and the maritime professions that carried it out
were also a necessary prerequisite for the later development of industrialisation
and capitalism, in that in many cases they only made possible what Karl
Marx called ‘primitive accumulation’ through economic exploitation of the
colonies of the European empires (Campling & Colás 2021, p. 42–45; Grasmeier,
2021). Thus, according to many researchers, the transatlantic, so-called ‘triangular
trade’ contributed a considerable part to the growth of social wealth in
the imperialist centres, which was necessary for industrialisation, but also,
through the displacement of enslaved people and indentured labourers as well
as the transport of migrants, to the development of the population structure
in large parts of the world such as the Americas, Australia and Africa. Thus,
not only the world economy but also global societal structures such as racism
(Gilroy, 1993), the development of modern gender relations (Federici, 2004
