The Marketplace of Ideas this week announced a conversation with New York University physicist Alan Sokal. It has been rescheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 11th.
In 1996, Sokal caused a stir on both sides of the Atlantic by submitting a logic-free parody of posmodern academic writing entitled “Transgressing the Boundaries: Towards a transformative hermeneutics of quantum gravity” to the cultural studies journal Social Text, which then published it as a piece of serious scholarship. In his new book Beyond the Hoax, Sokal explores the greater, more troubling intellectual issues in science, philosophy and culture with which the hoax was concerned.
The Marketplace of Ideas airs every Tuesday morning at 8am.

Professor Dick Flacks, host of “Culture of Protest,” writes: “In 1936 a fascist rebellion led by Francisco Franco and backed by Hitler and Mussolini was launched against the Spanish Republic. Western states declared neutrality; the USSR was the main national supporter of the Republic. But thousands of young people from around the world were recruited to the International Brigade, including some 3000 Americans who joined the Abraham Lincoln Battalion. The brigadistas fought fiercely and a large proportion were killed. This month marks the 70th anniversary of the departure of the International Brigade from Spain. This year the first official monument to the Lincoln Battalion was unveiled (in San Francisco) and in this year the best known American surviving veterans of the Spanish civil war died. All of this provides an occasion to hear a sampling of the great wealth of music that was created during that struggle.”
The “Songs of the Spanish Civil War” broadcast of “Culture of Protest” airs this Thursday, October 23rd, from 6-7pm.
