The Scarlet "P": Plagiarism, Panopticism, and the Rhetoric of Academic Integrity
Zwagerman, Sean
College Composition and Communication, v59 n4 p676-710 Jun 2008
This article is a rhetorical analysis of the anxious and outraged discourse employed in response to the "rising tide" of cheating and plagiarism. This discourse invites actions that are antithetical to the goals of education and the roles of educators, as exemplified by the proliferation of plagiarism-detection technologies. (Contains 15 notes.)
