This just in
One of those flyers you get at a conference: A CFP for a new journal, Plagiary.org. If you go to the site and browse around, you'll find a link to the home page of the editor, John P. Lesko. There and on the various links you'll find statements such as these:
"P" is for Plagiarist. "P" also represents Postructuralist Hypocrisy which hypocritically ignores the moral culpability involved in issues such as plagiarism involving very real and alive authors. Postructuralist absurdities such as the "Death of the Author" construct simply do not hold up to close analysis and criticism. If the Author is dead--murdered by French poststructuralists--does that mean that plagiarism is now acceptable? Can plagiarists freely help themselves to the texts which previously belonged to an author? I think not!
