Abstract

In April, 2020, Dr. Geoff Cole published, “Why the ‘Hoax’ Paper of Baldwin (2018) Should Be Reinstated.” We are the authors of the “Baldwin” paper published in Fat Studies. The paper satirized theoretical ideas within Fat Studies as part of a larger project to demonstrate the lack of rigor in certain theoretical approaches to cultural studies. In this response, we agree with Cole that our project should not be understood as hoaxes and that the retracted article should be reinstated, but defend our methods.

理解“冤情研究事件”论文及其为什么应该恢复——对Geoff Cole的回应

2020年4月，Geoff Cole博士发表了《为什么鲍德温(2018)的‘骗局’论文应该被恢复》。我们是发表在《脂肪研究》上的“Baldwin”论文的作者。这篇论文讽刺了脂肪研究中的理论观点，作为一个更大项目的一部分，以证明某些文化研究的理论方法缺乏严谨性。在此回应中，我们同意Cole的观点，即我们的项目不应被理解为骗局，撤回的文章应被恢复，但我们为我们的方法辩护。

期刊介绍： Sociological Methods & Research is a quarterly journal devoted to sociology as a cumulative empirical science. The objectives of SMR are multiple, but emphasis is placed on articles that advance the understanding of the field through systematic presentations that clarify methodological problems and assist in ordering the known facts in an area. Review articles will be published, particularly those that emphasize a critical analysis of the status of the arts, but original presentations that are broadly based and provide new research will also be published. Intrinsically, SMR is viewed as substantive journal but one that is highly focused on the assessment of the scientific status of sociology. The scope is broad and flexible, and authors are invited to correspond with the editors about the appropriateness of their articles.
