Perspectives on Plagiarism and Intellectual Property in a Postmodern World

Perspectives on Plagiarism and Intellectual Property in a Postmodern World 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.

This book offers and explains various definitions of plagiarism. Issues covered include copyright law and plagiarism; imitation and originality in classical rhetoric; sociohistorical perspectives; and late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century notions of authorship in student publications and textbooks. The authors also offer different applications of these plagiarism definitions in specific arenas including university writing centers, administrative settings, peer-writing groups, textbook publishing, and the wider marketplace.
Customer Review: A Complex Issue, Addressed Honorably
Contrary to other opinion, this is a very fine book and a must read for educators at any level. Intellectual property is not and can not now be absolutely defined, but as teachers, we have to open the discussion, and here is where that discussion begins.

What we perceive as “plagiarism” has complex definitions and even more complex motivations. This book honors the complexity. It’s really very easy to pronounce that “students cheat.” However, when their own instructors model the same behavior that their students are penalized for, the issue becomes a whole lot less simplistic.

For instance, I have taught at the university level for many years. I have regularly had my instructional materials “borrowed” without my authorization by other instructors in our program (and other universities). I’ve never complained to administration. Why would I? The materials serve.

As a kind of “in” joke, however, I started inserting a tiny stylized image into the corner of my handouts, in part so my students would recognize the originator. We all got a kick.

To this day, I will see new teachers (and veterans) in the mailroom, whiting out or otherwise eliminating my stylized image so that they can present my materials as their own. When I mention this to my freshman students, they respond: “If we did that, we’d get thrown out of school!”

And to complicate matters, how much of the wisdom in “my” materials was picked up at faculty meetings, grading sessions, talks over dinner, phone calls?

“Plagiarism” isn’t as simple an idea as we might suspect.

I will tell you that I have taught with both the editors over the years. You might imagine that this colors my judgment, but it doesn’t, really , except that I have first-hand observations that testify to the fact that these two scholars are exceptional educators who know how the classroom works and understand not just the theory but the practice of composition.

I would urge anyone teaching writing to get this book and consider the thoughtful selections within. Not seriously pondering the issues raised here, I believe, would be pretty lame, given the challenges we face in dealing with the appropriation and citation of text as we enter an era of nearly limitless communication.

Customer Review: Intellectual Mastur*&*%#$ a la Foucault, Barthes et al
Not to discount the years of intellectual effort which have gone into this work, but I just could’t help thinking after my first read through, “What a load of rubbish and a complete waste of time and money! ! !” I’ll say right up front that “Yes, I have written a book on plagiarizm myself. Quite true. But this has not colored my assessment of Perspectives on Plagiarism.” I guess I’m just reacting to the overly (pseudo-??)academic/scholarly jargon which permeates much of the work.

The problem with most academics, including most [but not all] of the contributing authors to the work, is that they are so attached to their pet theories and intellectualizing that they can’t escape from the intellectual masturb*&*%#$ a la Foucault, Barthes and others in the same critical tradition. This is evident in the wide-ranging discussions of authorship, postmodernism, and the “remains of the author”.

For the solely academic and intellectual I suppose there might be some enjoyment in these Perspectives on Plagiarism, but I myself found them quite dry, unstimulating, and on the whole irrelevant to what’s really happening on university campuses today other than the discussions in Part II: Applications in which there were some useful info on Writing Center operations.

As most of the so called GenX knows though, the real writing centers are in Cyberspace, on the Internet where downloading of papers has been commonplace since the mid-1990s. Nowadays, cheatsites have been revamped to write papers on any topic, any timeframe (overnight specials!), according to a student’s needs.

I wish I hadn’t wasted my $$$ on this book as a student researching the topic for a paper some time ago. Wanna buy it cheap? $5 and it’s yours. Just send me an email.

For a better, eminently intellectual read on the topic, I’d recommend Sean Burke’s The Death and Return of the Author. Wow! This guy demolishes the Foucault/Barth assertion that the Author is dead. Instead, the Author seems rather to be making a “sly and spectral return”. So much for the Frenchies and their pet theories. The Author ain’t dead like they thought. Barthes and Foucault are quite dead at this point, the first run down by a laundry truck in Paris, the second succumbing to AIDS in the 1980s. But the Author is still quite alive contrary to Barthes, Foucault and other views in the “Death of the Author” intellectual masturb*&*%#$ camp.

The Celebration Chronicles : Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Property Values in Disney’s New Town

The Celebration Chronicles : Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Property Values in Disney’s New Town “Planned with impeccably correct intentions, built with improperly low-wage labor, and sold on the basis of improbably lavish guarantees, Celebration would be put to the test time and time again. . . . True to the ethos of the blockbuster box-office hit, would this town deliver on the promise of its business plan or its community plan? Or would it sidestep all expectations and play by a different script?”

Scholar and iconoclast Andrew Ross set out to answer these questions by spending a year living in the much scrutinized, and often demonized, Celebration–the picture-perfect town that Disney is building for 20,000 people in the swamp and scrub of central Florida. Lavishly planned with a downtown center and newly-minted antique homes, and front-loaded with an ultra-progressive school, hospital, and high-tech infrastructure, Celebration would be yet another fresh start in a word gone wrong. Yet behind the picket fences, gleaming facades, and “Kodak moment” streetscapes, Ross discovered genuine, complex, and often surprising truths.

In this compelling, eye-opening account, based on his personal encounters and on several hundred hours of interviews with residents, employees, and county locals, Ross records what went right and what went wrong in this latest version of the American Dream. Diverse in background, Celebration’s pioneers were united by a desire to escape the cheerless isolation of suburbia and reconnect with the neighbors. They were also dazzled by the Disney brand name and expected much more than they got. The Celebration Chronicles recounts their often unruly struggles to build a community in the face of adversity: shoddy construction, typecasting by the media, Disney’s skittishness about negative publicity, and friction with the working-class county of Osceola. An acute observer in the controversial school, Ross takes us to the front lines of a superheated battle of wills between educators and townspeople.

What does Celebration reveal about the state of contemporary culture? Is this model town a cause for celebration or alarm? Can we entrust the public interest to giant beneficiaries of the marketplace like Disney? One of our shrewdest social commentators, Ross brilliantly places this planned community within the context of the New Urbanist movement to combat suburban sprawl and restore public life to the nation’s increasingly privatized landscape. Powerful, wide-ranging in its analysis, The Celebration Chronicles is a provocative account of the inner life of a new American town.
Customer Review: an engaging discussion on the American dream
Andrew Ross’s, The Celebration Chronicles, is a scholarly interpretation of the neo-traditional ideal and how it manifests itself with the development of a Florida community. From the onset of the book, it appears as if Celebration is everything that the Disney executives had envisioned and everything that the residents had hoped —- but is it?

Ross, however, delays peeling back the town’s veneer and instead takes us on a sight seeing tour of Celebration —- along the way we can see palm-lined promenades, a beautiful lake, neo-traditional homes and stately designed commercial/residential buildings. The author, respectfully, gives deference to the key architectural styles —- Anglo-Caribbean, Low Country and St Augustine. Ultimately, our travels along Market St take us to the town square and we feel somehow that Disney has delivered.

Then the serious questions begin and the reader becomes privy to a host of controversies —- shoddy home construction, the prohibitive cost to live in Celebration, conflicts over the educational agenda of the K-12 school and a questionable commitment to social and ethnic diversity.

Ross’s observations may reflect an intellectual detachment. But the reader will discover that the book has its share of levity and amusing anecdotes. He notes, for example, the following —- rumors of gypsies taking up residence and a resident heard to say, “What we need are a few drunks around this town.”

This book is a serious study. Forewarned —- you won’t find the vanity-fair critiques so pervasive in glossy journals and travel tabloids. What you will find, though, are the author’s lengthy observations that attempt to explain all the factors —- both positive and negative —- that impact life in the community of Celebration. Eventually the book evolves into a valuable lesson on urban history and social science. I, as a reader, found the process of getting to this eventuality fulfilling and I recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in these topics.
Customer Review: Boring Read about an elitist community
Reading this book was like watching paint dry….I moved to Celebration in 1998. At first I was charmed by the Disney connection, distinctive house designs (for florida anyway), the nice, well kept streets.

Fast forward several years….

Celebration now has a — TERRIBLE — reputation in the central florida area for being snotty and elitist. It’s is a shame what has become of Celebration. Someone should write a book about that.

Proteins: Structures and Molecular Properties

Proteins: Structures and Molecular Properties Customer Review: Don’t buy this book
Please, I don’t buy this book except if you want for some reference. I bought my graduate school, for me were complete unuseful.
Customer Review: Great protein chem text
I have been using this text as a supplement in a biophysics course and have found it very helpful. The text discusses physical properties of interactions within a polypeptide chain as well as with the environment. This book goes into protein folding, determination of evolutionary relationships between proteins, enzymology, methods for determining structure (like NMR, X-Ray diff), and is an excellent graduate or advanced undergraduate text.

GETTING STARTED IN PROPERTY FLIPPING

Flipping can be applied to raw land, commercial, or industrial property, but those are more advanced endeavors. Getting Started in Property Flipping eases you into this arena by focusing the discussion on single-family residential property.

Written by acclaimed real estate investor and bestselling author Michael C. Thomsett, Getting Started in Property Flipping is an accessible introduction to this creative approach to real estate investing. Filled with real-world examples and practical advice, this book clearly shows you the many sides of property flipping and takes you through the process of defining whether or not flipping is an appropriate strategy for you. Getting Started in Property Flipping also provides you with valuable information on flipping strategies, approaches to valuing property, and a variety of other issues you need to become familiar with in order to achieve success.

Written from an investor’s point-of-view, Getting Started in Property Flipping is a straightforward guide to a highly profitable field.
