Graduating Tactics: theorizing plagiarism as consumptive practice

Plagiarism is a growing concern to educators in the tertiary sector,
although currently its appearances in the higher education literature have
predominantly been concerned with its prevention and management. This
article draws on the poststructuralist theory of consumption developed by
Michel de Certeau, to consider plagiarism as a tactic deployed by consumers
in their attempts to negotiate the demands of an increasingly commodified
tertiary education sector. The article interrogates institutional structures
of power through which consumers of tertiary education are attracted,
progress and are occasionally excluded, to argue that the tertiary sector's
subscription to market ideologies makes educational institutions complicit
in the production of a climate in which the illicit appropriation of the
work of others is deployed by students as a tactic to achieve educational
success. Theorizing plagiarism as a consumptive practice is a necessary step
in developing adequate institutional responses to plagiarism designed to
facilitate student's negotiation of curriculum, rather than negotiation of
institutional strategies.
