Lingua Franca
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the linguistic concept, see Lingua franca.
Lingua Franca was a magazine about intellectual and literary life in academia. It was where the Sokal Affair was first revealed and its editors later published a book (The Sokal Hoax) of selected papers on the subject.
The magazine folded in the 2001 economic downturn. The following year, editor Alexander Star published the collection Quick Studies: The Best of Lingua Franca.
