Social Text is a postmodernist cultural studies journal published by Duke University Press.
It became world famous in 1996 when physicist Alan Sokal revealed that his article, "Transgressing the Boundaries: Toward a Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity", which the journal had published, was in fact a spoof of postmodernist writing consisting of (to quote Sokal himself) "the silliest quotations I could find ... from some of the most prominent French and American intellectuals" along with "a nonsensical argument linking these quotations together."
