Abstract

This paper uses the term 'intellectual (im)property' as a rhetorical device to conceptualize and linguistically trouble the discursive and legal entity, 'intellectual property.' It begins by examining the contextual background for recent changes in the legal, political and economic arenas of 'intellectual property' and copyright regimes. Dominant metaphors framing popular and scholarly discussion of these increasingly controversial entities are explored, and a three-pronged programmatic framework for reconstituting the field as it currently stands is presented.

Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
