The intertextuality that dare not speak its name: Constructing plagiarism as a textual crime

Research output: Conference PapersRGC 33 - Other conference paperpeer-review

Abstract

Plagiarism is commonly perceived as a transgressive act, treated within the university community as a violation of academic ethics, and generally understood to reflect upon the honesty and morality of the perpetrator. This paper will argue that this view of plagiarism is socially constructed, and will discuss alternative understandings of this form of intertextuality. It will also address implications of these alternative understandings of plagiarism for higher education.
