The plagiarism as an intellectual creation

Main Article Content

Abstract

Plagiarism has long been frowned upon in the world of culture. It was nothing more than the appropriation of a speech, ideas or images of others by those who were less gifted and often with the sole purpose of increasing prestige or personal fortune. However, the plagiarism myth, like most myths, can easily be turned around. Perhaps it is those who support the legislation of representation and the privatization of the language who are under suspicion; Perhaps it is the actions of plagiarists, under certain social conditions, that contribute most to cultural enrichment. Before the Enlightenment, plagiarism was well seen. It was useful in that it contributed to the distribution of ideas. An English poet could appropriate and translate a Petrarch sonnet and claim, furthermore, that it was his. According to the classical aesthetics of art understood as imitation, plagiarism was a totally accepted practice.
