Plagiarism

18.687 is it plagiarism if it’s plagarism or plagirism? from Humanist Discussion Group (by way of Willard McCarty : Note that the word ‘plagiarism’ is spelled no less than three different ways in this message — in addition to the correct way, it is also spelled ‘plagarism’ and ‘plagirism’!

(in reference to this post on the same list)
It’s also spelled “plagiarim” at some point.
In my mind, it’s part of a radical view against plagiarism in which you’re not allowed to spell the same word the same way twice!

Sorry, couldn’t help it…

Anthropological Interdisciplinarity

18.682 interdisciplinarity is anthropological from Humanist Discussion Group (by way of Willard McCarty

Good to see that anthropology’s approach to interdisciplinarity is well-understood.

One thing I have found is that writers are far more cynical of crossing boundaries and marrying mediums than are visual artists.

Interesting. IMHO, musicians and musicologists are either reluctant to cross boundaries themselves or, more commonly, are extremely skeptical of non-musicians saying anything about music. It might just be an impression, but it’s a strong one.
