More About This Textbook

Overview

This book offers a wealth of thinking about the complex and often contradictory definitions surrounding the concepts of plagiarism and intellectual property. The authors show that plagiarism is not nearly as simple and clear cut a phenomenon as we may think. Contributors offer many definitions and facets of plagiarism and intellectual property, demonstrating that if defining a supposedly "simple" concept is difficult, then applying multiple definitions is even harder, creating practical problems in many realms. This volume exposes the range and breadth of these overlapping and complex issues, reflecting a postmodern sensibility of fragmentation, and clarifies some of the confusion, not by reducing plagiarism to ever-simpler definitions and providing new or better rules to apply, but by complicating the issue, examining what plagiarism and intellectual property are (and are not) in our more or less postmodern world.

Booknews
Considers complex and often contradictory definitions surrounding the concepts of plagiarism and intellectual property, and demonstrates the difficulty in defining a supposedly "simple" concept and applying multiple definitions. Reflects on the postmodern sensibility of fragmentation, and examines what plagiarism and intellectual property are and are not in our postmodern world. Discusses copyright law and plagiarism, looks at imitation and originality in classical rhetoric, offers socio-historical perspectives, and examines 19th- and 20th- century notions of authorship in student publications and textbooks.
