Richard Klein’s transcript of Jean-Michel Vappereau’s comments on the “Sokal affair” in 1996. The “Sokal affair” or “Sokal hoax” was an instance of intentional academic fraud conducted by Alan Sokal, a physics professor at New York University and University College London. Sokal submitted a paper laced with jargon that appealed to the ideological sensibilities of the editors of Social Text, a renowned journal in cultural studies. These are Vappereau’s comments on the situation, delivered sometime shortly after the Sokal publication.
