This study seeks to discuss plagiarism in the academic context as an act that has increased significantly due to free access to digital hypertexts. Considering that there are texts from diverse fields of knowledge circulating on the internet, undergraduate students find it easier to copy than to construct their own authorship. In order to contribute to this discussion, this study intends to reflect on the need to open objective and subjective spaces in the University - the place for the production of language - in order to make construction of authorship effective in the dialectic between the individual and the collective. In this sense, reading and writing practices should be experienced as the motivation for intellectual production, with the intention of providing the student, as a future teacher, with the autonomy needed to write and to establish him or herself as author, as he or she navigates the digital network.
