|  | The Sokal Hoax by Lingua Franca
In the summer of 1996 Alan Sokal, a physicist, submitted a parody of postmodern intellectualism to the cultural studies journal Social Text, couching scientifically untenable theses in academic jargon; it was readily accepted. He later admitted his ruse in the review journal Lingua Franca, causing a major uproar in the halls of academia. The Lingua Franca editors have here compiled the complete genealogy of Sokal's grand escapade: the original article submitted to Social Text, his revelation in Lingua Franca, and a variety of reviews and responses from across the cultural and academic cloth.
