Repo Man posted:"Sokal exposed an infatuation with academic puffery that characterizes the entire project of academic postmodernism. Our aim was smaller yet more pointed. We intended to test the hypothesis that flattery of the academic Left’s moral architecture in general, and of the moral orthodoxy in gender studies in particular, is the overwhelming determiner of publication in an academic journal in the field. That is, we sought to demonstrate that a desire for a certain moral view of the world to be validated could overcome the critical assessment required for legitimate scholarship. Particularly, we suspected that gender studies is crippled academically by an overriding almost-religious belief that maleness is the root of all evil. On the evidence, our suspicion was justified." Scientists don't know how to test a hypothesis, more at 11 edit: nevermind he's not even a scientist he's an atheist advocate

Gazpacho posted:Vivek Chibber, who is a critic of post-colonial theory and specifically subaltern studies, shows the right way to go about debunking a trendy humanities field that you believe is doing academic damage: Huh, that's interesting. I've never heard of Vivek Chibber before, but I looked up his wikipedia and he seems cool.
