Subject: Marxism vs. Pomo. A partial bibliography.

    Some of the messages on the Sokal affair have read as if the debate
between Marxism (historical materialism/revolutionary socialism) was
something just discovered in May of 1996. I here give a reading list
which vividly illustrates the contrary. Some of the works listed do
not deal (directly or indirectly) with the opposition itself; they
are merely (!) extremely good articles or books that could not have
been written within any context that might be labelled "post-modern"
or "post-marxism."
