Having met with some of the "Science and Technology Studies" students and floored by the ignorance of basic technical facts by some of the people they quoted to be correct, I believe this postmodernist trend arose out of post-cold war technological superiority. With Science and Technology no longer needed to fight against a powerful enemy, it was easy to devalue it. However times are changing. A society can only ignore science and facts in favor of meaningless word salad as long as their security does not depends on it.
