Social Text
Social Text (print: ISSN 0164-2472, online: ISSN 1527-1951) is an academic journal published by Duke University Press. Since its inception as an independent editorial collective in 1979, Social Text has addressed a wide range of social and cultural phenomena, covering questions of gender, sexuality, race, and the environment. Each issue covers subjects in the debates around feminism, Marxism, neoliberalism, postcolonialism, postmodernism, queer theory, and popular culture. Some notable contributors are Fredric Jameson, Cornel West, Andrew Ross, Judith Butler, Laura Kipnis, Ellen Willis, Edward Said, Stanley Aronowitz, and Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak.
The journal gained notoriety in 1996 for the so-called Sokal Affair, when it published an article that physicist Alan Sokal had deliberately written as a hoax.
