Mission Statement

Journals like Sokal Nouveau, which have gone out of print and remain unavailable in digital form, risk being lost to time. Each article within these pages represents the tireless efforts of researchers, thinkers, and editors committed to their respective fields. Letting their work fade into obscurity would be a disservice to academia and society as a whole.

This project’s mission is twofold:

  1. Digitise and Preserve: By creating a high-quality digital archive of Sokal Nouveau, we aim to ensure a curated selection of articles are accessible to scholars, students, and enthusiasts worldwide. Preservation not only safeguards the content from physical degradation but also democratises access to knowledge as a legacy for future scholars.
  2. Promote and Inspire: Beyond preservation, this project seeks to spark renewed interest in the themes explored within these journals. Whether it’s debates about capitalist babies or the exploration of intellectual frameworks, the insights contained in Sokal Nouveau have the power to inform current discussions.

Why Sokal Nouveau Matters Today

The themes addressed in Sokal Nouveau—critical thinking, scepticism, and the interrogation of cultural norms—are timeless. In an era where information is abundant but critical analysis often feels scarce, revisiting these works is more than an academic exercise; it’s an opportunity to engage with foundational questions about the nature of truth, knowledge, and society.

By bringing Sokal Nouveau into the digital age, we hope to contribute to a richer, more informed dialogue about these issues.
