In this article, we address the international dimension of Stellenbosch University (SU) during the apartheid era, most notably during the academic boycott of South African universities between the early 1960s and the early 1990s. Based on information gathered from the documentary sources of the university and interviews with key role players at the university, the findings of the research will put some of the well established hypotheses on South Africa’s academic isolation and an increasing localism in higher education during that period into perspective. The article will show that prior to 1990 there were different kinds of international activities going on at SU, despite the academic boycotts.

Authorship attribution has been a concern across disciplines, from Information Science (MIRANDA et al, 2007; VANZ; STUMPF, 2010) to Medicine (GRIEGER, 2005; MONTEIRO, 2004; PETROIANU, 2002). With this in mind, we aim at providing an... more

Authorship attribution has been a concern across disciplines, from Information Science (MIRANDA et al, 2007; VANZ; STUMPF, 2010) to
Medicine (GRIEGER, 2005; MONTEIRO, 2004; PETROIANU, 2002). With this in mind, we aim at providing an overview on Conversations (GEE,
1999) about authorship in the field of Applied Linguistics from 2012 to 2015. Drawing on Critical Discourse Analysis (FAIRCLOUGH, 1992, 2003), we review nine articles published in well-known Applied Linguistics journals. The results indicated that there are four different perspectives from which authorship is addressed: dialogicity, responsibility, ideological positioning and intellectual property. Quoting and paraphrasing were the most cited practices in association
with the concept of dialogicity as a form of exercising authorship in the academic context.
