ABSTRACT
This study analyzes the creation and authorship processes in the academic practices of undergraduate students. Designed in the research-intervention format, the study was developed from reading and writing workshops held with students from two Brazilian federal universities. The speeches and texts produced by the students were analyzed discursively based on Bakhtin and Vygotski’s foundations and revealed that the exercise of appropriation of new ways of writing is perceived as a risk by the students, who produce their texts responsively to evaluative practices. They also indicate that they seem to be unaware of the creative dimension of their productions, limiting academic creation to repetition of concepts, format restrictions and citations. On the other hand, writing gains authorship and creation traits when the studied content is articulated to their experiences and social contexts.
