Escrita, plágio e autoria em produções acadêmicas

Abstract

The objective of this work was to analyze aspects of writing that graduates in Letters from different universities, located in the North, Northeast and Southeast regions, mobilize to build their academic productions. Thus, the assumption is that the writing processes have undergone changes by the intervention and ease of the words of others. Therefore, we investigate how plagiarism and authorship are present in these texts aiming at a knowledge about the writing and constitution of subject author. Specifically, we analyze how the relationship with the voice of the other is presented in the construction of their discourses and, furthermore, we had as purpose to investigate in what way the indications of authorship are presented in these textual productions. It was also interesting to reflect how the production of knowledge has been a relevant practice for writing in the contemporary university, often interdicted by the copy feature. Thereby, we analyze how the students present their positioning before the act of writing and how they constitute critical subjects in this scenario. From a qualitative (ESTEBAN, 2010) and index (GINZBURG, 1989), the study deals with the complexity of the act of writing and being the holder of its words in a context of text / speech relationship that requires criticality of the students. We had as main theoretical contribution conceptions of M. Bakhtin about the concepts of subject, authorship and verbal interaction. In order to compose the analyzes, we have as starting point studies about the universe of academic writing in Geraldi (1997), Barzotto (2013, 2016), Krokoscz (2012), Fairchild (2016, 2017) Berheim and Chauí (2008), Severino (2013) and Possenti (2009). The relation between the theories adopted allows to move between the discursive spheres in order to understand the relation between subject and writing in higher education. As results we had expressive data, since the plagiarism has been a form of writing and has been adding more space in the university. On the other hand, the practice prohibits the production of knowledge and hinders the development of a voice of the graduating. We also emphasize that authorship must take place in this academic environment, since it is the space to develop the construction of being author and holder critical positions.
