Behind the Scenes Head to Head Postmodern Riff When I taught in Moldova it used to drive me crazy cause I couldn’t get the kids to be quiet when they were taking a quiz. Most American teachers lost their tempers because of all that “cheating.”
Meanwhile, I was an honorary member of the Teacher’s Collective, lived across from the collective fields, and co-wrote grants for my Peace Corps buddies who were organizing a summer camp for kids.
Maybe plagiarism is only really a concern in a context where the single author still rules. There is no maybe about it. Only, maybe, a “So what?”
When we move to mediums like the wiki, plagiarism is not possible intrinsically, within a piece, only when a member of the honorary wiki-collective goes into the single-author world and “borrows” something. But then, who becomes the plagiarist? The whole collective?
