No offense to anyone, but this is the only thing I know about the journal. Someone should try to expand this article in a "non-Sokal" direction (the articles on Alan Sokal, the Sokal Affair, and Fashionable Nonsense already talk enough about the hoax). - dcljr 02:51, 16 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Well, nearly three years later and it hasn't been expanded, and doesn't seem likely to. The fundamental problem is that there aren't any third party sources for anything else: Pretty much the only things that have been written about the journal at all are in the context of the Sokal affair. Every incoming link is also from that context. --Delirium21:14, 20 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
Glad to see Alan Sokal felt the need to hide his identity when he commented above. I agree - this article, whatever one thinks of the journal, doesn't say much about the history of Social Text, the role it's played in the development of the social sciences and humanities, and instead focuses on the debates about science.

I'd be pretty surprised if Alan Sokal, who lives in New York, monitored the talk page of this article and cared enough to reply to a then two-year old comment when on a trip to Florida or something. Headbomb {t · c · p · b}14:52, 31 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
