	The Social Text (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The prologue and Passus 1, 2, and 3 are littered with social and economic commentary on the 14th century.
		Regardless of the metaphorical and allegorical elements, Piers Plowman is essentially a social commentary.
		Throughout the beginning of the poem, the author constantly refers to the distinction between social classes and its moral and economic importance.

	Amato on the Social Text Controversy
		for those who missed the social text brouhaha as it unfolded: a physicist, one alan sokal, publishes a piece entitled "transgressing the boundaries: toward a transformative hermeneutics of quantum gravity," in the spring/summer 1996 special issue of the magazine social text, an issue devoted to the so-called "science wars"...
		in sum, sokal's assumption that his "parody" struck a disreputable chord with the woozy editors of social text is ill-conceived.
		that the social text editorial board might have seen sokal's parody for what it was, not simply as a "curio" (ross)...

	Text as Social Object
		Text is a compound object: it is BOTH expression of thought, as a linguistic creation, and a commodity subject to a variety of forces, including economic, political, technical, and cultural pressures.
		Text consumption is a dynamic process, where the consumer is an active participant in the textual experience because s/he brings an enormous set of preconceptions, beliefs, and expectations through which s/he filters the text.
		If text consumption is always an interpretive act, it is clear that a significant element of the interpretive apparatus brought by the reader/viewer/listener to the text is conditioned by the political, cultural, economic, and regulatory contexts in which texts are consumed.

	Science Studies: Beyond the Social Text hoax
		Social Text assembled leading figures in science studies (also termed Science and Technology Studies, or STS) to rebut Gross, Levitt, and all who stood with them.
		Lingua Franca that his Social Text essay was a put-on, a parody of anti-science rhetoric.
		Anders Stephanson, associate professor of history at Columbia and member of the Social Text board until the early 1990s, agrees that many critiques have been marked by "crude constructivism." Yet the defense of science, in his view, is often no less crude.

	A Physicist Experiments With Cultural Studies
		Fair enough: anyone who believes that the laws of physics are mere social conventions is invited to try transgressing those conventions from the windows of my apartment.
		Social Text's acceptance of my article exemplifies the intellectual arrogance of Theory -- meaning postmodernist literarytheory -- carried to its logical extreme.
		The recent turn of many ``progressive'' or ``leftist'' academic humanists and social scientists toward one or another form of epistemic relativism betrays this worthy heritage and undermines the already fragile prospects for progressive social critique.

	On Social Text (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		As the social commentator Heather Mac Donald reported in an essay on "The Diversity Industry" in The New Republic a couple of years ago, what counts for those charged with increasing diversity in the corporate world is not competence but such political criteria as race, sex, or ethnic origin.
		The second intellectual handicap on prominent view in this issue of Social Text is the inability to distinguish between the uses to which science might be put and the truth or cogency of the knowledge which it supplies.
		For although the notion that the truths of science are mere social constructions--that they are, for example, somehow subject to the claims of "diversity"--is arrant nonsense, it is nonetheless true that science by no means exhausts our experience of the world.

	A Mathematician Reads Social Text
		Criticisms of social studies of science are made by the ``antidemocratic right'' who ``virtually never'' ``contest the accuracy of social studies of science'' but merely engage in ``ridicule''.
		An irenic, Martin tells us, is like a polemic, only friendlier, and indeed she is. Her article is a search for ``common ground,'' between the social and natural sciences, and among the social scientists themselves, who, it seems don't always see eye to eye on questions about the nature of science.
		Likewise, the unfortunate prominence of some dubious scholarship in the field of social science studies should not be held against the field as whole or be seen as typical of the political left.

	Re: The Social Text (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		I agree with you that literature reflects and confronts the social concerns of the time, it would almost be impossible for it not to.
		When you say that due to the ploitical and social differences that appear in "Piers" are comparable to today's you point out something that is very intereasting, how do you think the society that exists a 1000 years from now will view our society today.
		I think that it will be drastically different, but there will be different interpretations from the different classes that exist in that society.

	What the Social Text Affair Does and Does Not Prove (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The extreme versions of social constructivism and relativism — such as the Edinburgh ``strong programme'' — are, I think, largely based on the same failure to distinguish clearly between ontology, epistemology, and the sociology of knowledge.
		The term was apparently first coined by Social Text co-editor Andrew Ross, who explained that ``the Science Wars [are] a second front opened up by conservatives cheered by the successes of their legions in the holy Culture Wars.
		The ``Science Wars'' special issue of Social Text was conceived primarily to attack Paul R. Gross and Norman Levitt, Higher Superstition: The Academic Left and its Quarrels with Science (Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press, 1994).

	Catholic Social Teaching Documents (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Modern Catholic social teaching is the body of social principles and moral teaching that is articulated in the papal, conciliar, and other official documents issued since the late nineteenth century and dealing with the economic, political, and social order.
		Applying the teachings of his predecessors to modern problems, and affirming the role of the Church as a teacher, and as a nurturing guardian of the poor and oppressed, John XXIII calls for a greater awareness of the need for all peoples to live as one community with a common good.
		Calling attention to the structural roots of injustice afflicting human relations, the Bishops declare that action in the pursuit of justice, and participation in the transformation of the world are constitutive elements in the Church's mission of preaching the Gospel.

	Social Text article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Alan Sokal of New York University submitted a jargon-packed, heavily footnoted article to Social Text, a left-wing critical studies publication.
		The external world, Sokal wrote, is nothing more than a product of "the long, post-Enlightenment hegemony over the Western intellectual outlook." Sokal referred to deconstructionism, quantum mechanics, and, of course, "the multidimensional and non-linear logic of fuzzy systems." The editors of Social Text ran the story without doing much critical studying of their own.
		"Anyone who believes that the laws of physics are mere social conventions is invited to try transgressing those conventions from the windows of my apartment," says the professor.

		Sokal claims that the editors, had they been scrupulous and intellectually competent, would have recognized from the first paragraph of his essay that it was a parody.
		In his article, Sokal attacks "the dogma imposed by the long post-Enlightenment hegemony over the Western intellectual outlook" that there is an external world governed by laws of nature which we can understand imperfectly using the scientific method.
		This tendency to confirmation bias affects physicists as well as professors in the social sciences and the humanities.

	Jonah Goldberg on the Firemen Statue on National Review Online
		As Stanley Fish put it not too long ago in the New York Times, "[P]ostmodernism maintains only that there can be no independent standard for determining which of many rival interpretations of an event is the true one." Of course, postmodernism doesn't maintain only that, but you get the point.
		The editors of Social Text, as part of their long campaign against facts-without-quotation-marks, dedicated an entire issue to the problem of "science." For obvious reasons, PoMos hate science more than dogs hate vacuum cleaners, and they bark at it about as much.
		The "firemen" were actually the faculty of the New School for Social Research, with Asian and homosexual women in wheelchairs leading the charge up the stairs of the burning building.
