In its 1996 Spring/Summer issue (pp. 217-252), Social Text journal published an article by Alan Sokal, Professor of Physics at New York University, entitled Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity. The article was a hoax submitted, according to Sokal, to see would a leading journal of cultural studies publish an article liberally salted with nonsense if (a) it sounded good and (b) it flattered the editors ideological preconceptions? It would. Needless to say, the editors of Social Text were not pleased. skepdic/sokal.html
