ENGH 341 - Theories of Authorship4 credits
Questions of authorship have challenged scholars throughout history. From discussion of the various authors of Genesis and who wrote the plays attributed to Shakespeare, to concerns about plagiarism and fabrication of data, the topic raises questions at the heart of academia: what constitutes creativity? What do we mean by “originality”? Can there even be such a thing as an “author” in these postmodern times? What are the ethical responsibilities of authors? What are the implications of plagiarism detection software and honor codes? The forms of collaboration made possible by the Internet and required in business and the multi-authored articles in fields of science and medicine provide another level of complexity. In this course, students will explore the broad topic of authorship and use theory to interrogate specific cases where authorship or originality was in question. Prerequisite: ENGH 150 , ENGH 140
