Counterfeit Authorship or Plagiarized Texts?
17. December 2013
Lecture, given as part of the workshop “Good Copy//Bad Copy”
Mario Biagioli ist professor at the University of California Davis, STS Program and School of Law.
The workshop is built around the provocation that the differentiations between the original and the copy are becoming increasingly obsolete. Instead the most pertinent questions arise from the possibility and processes of differentiation that are being generated within and among ‘copies’ themselves. By taking the case of the pharmaceutical copy and exploring contestations over sanctioned generics versus the ‘counterfeit’, the interchangeable generics versus the ‘merely’ similar this workshop seeks to push conversations on the copy in creative empirically grounded directions. It especially explores processes of differentiation as they are being shaped by new configurations of health, value and security in Europe, Latin America, South Asia and Southern Africa.
