Plagiat Et Décolonialité

Abstract

Questioning plagiarism is probably tackling the issue of copyright ownership and the resources associated with it, but it is also about reflecting on our own position in relation to the knowledge of others. We will not dwell on the etymology of the word "plagiarism" which referred to theft and concealment of children before referring to theft and concealment of words. There is here a certain permanence of meaning, insofar as if the object of what is stolen has been able to change, the act itself of ravishing to others what seems to come back to it by right, constitutes a semantic invariant of this lexicon.
