Alan Sokal, Professor of Mathematics at University College London and Professor Emeritus of Physics at New York University, discusses his (in)famous "Sokal hoax" (1996), how the hoax was almost revealed, and the contemporary issues that have followed from his Beyond the Hoax: Science, Philosophy and Culture (Oxford UP, 2008). Covering the historical backdrop of the current debates over identity politics, Sokal discusses the 1950’s “Two Cultures Controversy” ignited by CP Snow, the culture wars of late 1980s and early 1990s and the ensuing “science wars” of the 1990s. Sokal examines the ways in which politics of the left and the right affected academic debates on science and the humanities, and how identity politics has become a dog whistle where orthodoxy to anti-science hokum indicts the subject as being necessarily affiliated with the far-right. Analysing the current debate on gender identity and the attack on women’s rights, Sokal discusses the effects of critical theory on this debate noting the anti-intellectual core to academic debates today whereby the analysis of “oppression” has been elevated to the status of an “unquestionable truth” noting the turn from a radical relativism to a dogmatic absolutism. Sokal critiques reified postmodernism where political principles have firmly fixed themselves to fundamental truths that cannot possibly be questioned.

In 1996 stuurde natuurkunde professor Alan Sokal een artikel naar Social Text, een postmodernistisch academisch tijdschrift dat maar al te blij was het te publiceren. Enkel, dat artikel was een volledig verzinsel. Het was een list om aan te tonen dat postmodernisme grotendeels intellectueel bedrog is. In deze podcast bespreken we dat voorval en het boek dat Sokal later met Jean Bricmont schreef: Intellectueel bedrog, Postmodernisme, wetenschap en antiwetenschap.
El físico Alan Sokal hizo un experimento al escribir un artículo que desnuda la sabiduría barata de este mundo.
Neste quarto episódio conversamos com os físicos Daniel Sasaki e Vitor de Jesus sobre do que se trata esta tal de Física Quântica. Do que estamos falando quando usamos esta expressão? Refletimos sobre o uso indiscriminado que tem sido feito do termo, especialmente por pessoas e instituições que oferecem melhoria na qualidade de vida e que adjetivam seus produtos com a qualidade de quântico. Existe relação entre este uso e a Física Quântica que nasceu no começo do século XX e que resultou em muitos avanços tecnológicos em diversas áreas, como saúde, comunicações e economia? Vem descobrir com a gente. Obras mencionadas ao longo do episódio: Imposturas Intelectuais, de Alan Sokal. Alice no País do Quantum, de Robert Gilmore. Sem Medo da Física, de Lawrence Krauss. A Dança do Universo, de Marcelo Gleiser. Conceitos de Física Quântica(2 vols.), de Osvaldo Pessoa Jr. Teoria Quântica: estudos históricos e implicações culturais, de Olival Freire Jr., Osvaldo Pessoa Jr. e Joan Lisa Bromberg.

Héctor Rago “Transgrediendo fronteras: hacia una hermenéutica transformadora de la teoría cuántica de la gravitación” fue el rimbombante título que el físico neoyorkino Alan Sokal eligió para su trabajo aceptado en 1996 por la prestigiosa revista norteamericana Social Text.
In 1996, Dr. Alan Sokal, a physics professor, wanted to test the intellectual rigor of “postmodern cultural studies.” To do so, he wrote an article titled “Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity.” This article was full of absolute nonsense—but Dr. Sokal believed it would be accepted by an academic journal anyway. And he was right. This hoax—called the “Sokal Affair” or “Sokal Hoax”—caused an uproar in academia because it questioned the validity of social science commentary on scientific inquiry. Fast forward to 2017. Three academics, editor Helen Pluckrose, mathematician James A. Lindsay, and philosopher Peter Boghossian, did something similar but bigger. And with a similar purpose—they wanted to test the intellectual rigor of academic journals in the fields of gender, queer, race, and fat studies—what they call as a whole, “grievance studies.” They wanted to see if they could produce absurd articles using the catch-phrases and biases they observed in cultural studies academic journals—and get them published. Of the 20 nonsense articles the trio wrote, 7 passed peer review and were published, and one even received recognition. Seven more were on the verge of publication before their hoax was uncovered. This academic project has been dubbed “Sokal Squared” as a nod to Dr. Alan Sokal’s hoax article from 1996. While it may sound like this topic is only of interest to academia, the authors believe it is relevant—in fact, crucial—for everyone to understand the implications of what is going on in universities and academic journals because the knowledge produced there affects us all. We spoke with all three of the “Sokal Squared” hoaxers, or “academic whistleblowers” as they would say, for today’s program. We should have the extended conversations with our guests posted by the evening of March 2, 2019.

In this first podcast, presented by Bristol Festival of Ideas and sponsored by the Philosopher's Magazine, George Miller looks back at some of the highlights of the 2008 Bristol Festival of Ideas. Baroness Susan Greenfield, Professor of Pharmacology at Oxford University, Director of the Royal Institution and a member of the House of Lords, talks about her new book 'ID: The Quest for Meaning in the 21st Century'. Raymond Tallis, polymath, poet and Emeritus Professor of Gerontology, then discusses what goes on inside our heads with reference to his new book, 'The Kingdom of Infinite Space'. He is followed by Alan Sokal, Professor of Physics at New York University, who talks about pseudo-science, religion and misinformation in public life. This podcast is 30 minutes long (28MB), and is the first in a series that will be issued each month from now until autumn.
