We have become acutely aware of how the words that we use, the images we project, the sounds that we make, and the traces that we leave impact beyond ourselves. In this issue, JAWS Volume 9 explores resonances in art and art writing. We seek out affinities and attachments to bodies beyond our own, observe as actions reverberate across time and space, and wonder at how correspondences suggest themselves despite historical, geographical, ideological and temporal differences. We look to the power that places, objects, images and events hold to evoke memories and emotions. Resonance harks back but also calls things forward into being. Resonance is an invitation to continue what has already begun.

For the themed section of the journal, we are looking for examples of the myriad ways in which resonance manifests in art and art writing. We welcome submissions that relate, but are not limited, to:

• Associative thinking and making

• Metaphor

• Repetition

• Attachment and Recognition

• Echoes

• Affinity

• Correspondence

• Sound in art and writing

• Expanded translation

• Synaesthesia

• Emotion

• Magic and Evocation

• Collaborative practice

• Posthumanism

• Historicity and art writing

• Citation and intertext
