I compare the Sokal hoax with the Ern Malley hoax: in the first case (USA, 1996), an NYU physicist, Alan Sokal, wrote a bogus article claiming that the laws of physics should be seen as social constru cts; in the second case (Australia, 1943) two poets, James McAuley and Harold Stewart, concocted th e poems of an imaginary modernist, Ern Malley. In both cases the hoaxers realized their aim: Social Text, the magazine that published Sokal’s article, and Angry Penquins, the magazine th at celebrated the poems of Ern Malley, looked foolish. However, while the physics that Sokal used was bogus, what McAuley and Stewart had intentionally tried to write as bad poetry now reads as lively, comic and inventive. The poetry of ″Ern Malley″ now generates more interest than th e genuine poetry of McAuley and Stewart. Thus, while Malley is a hoax-poet, it doesn’t seem that th e hoaxers succeeded in writing hoax-poetry.展开更多
