Postmodern Postures

Discover the thought-provoking exploration of the intersection between science and the humanities in Postmodern Postures by Daniel Cordle. Published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 1999, this hardback edition spans 216 pages and delves into the implications of the infamous Sokal hoax, where physicist Alan Sokal cleverly submitted a fabricated article to the journal Social Text. This act not only challenged the prevailing social constructionist views of science but also ignited the 'science wars' that echoed throughout the 1990s. Cordle's insightful analysis offers a critical perspective on postmodernism, literary criticism, and the philosophy of science, making it an essential read for those interested in anthropology and contemporary debates in literary theory.
