Aims & Scope

JAWS is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes new art and writing from early- to mid-career researchers and practitioners working across artistic mediums. 

Founded as the Journal of Arts Writing by Students at Chelsea School of Art in 2013 and published by Intellect since 2015, the journal was the first of its kind entirely dedicated to students' work in artistic research. JAWS publishes writing about art and writing as art. We welcome practice-based research, visual essays, book reviews and interviews by practitioners and researchers. We encourage divergent and/or unconventional forms, as well as more traditional submissions. As it stands, we only accept submissions in the English language, but our aim is to connect international contributors with an international audience. 

As a platform, we foster criticality and experimentation. The support and expertise of an established network of editors and peer reviewers allow for co-produced reflection and discussion, guiding our contributors to publish reimagined approaches to writing in artistic scholarship and creative practice. We aim to balance such experiments with the academic rigour of peer review alongside attentive and diligent editorial processes.

Call for Papers: Volume 9

We invite contributions to this hybrid issue of JAWS, which combines both a themed section and an open section.

Theme: 'On Resonance'

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
  • Memory studies
  • Promiscuity
  • Surrealism
  • Magic and Evocation
  • Collaborative practice
  • Posthumanism
  • Historicity and art writing
  • Citation and intertext

Date for submissions: 26 April 2024

Information for authors

We invite the following:

  • Academic submissions of up to 6,000 words
  • Artistic Practice and/or visual essays up to 5,000 words
  • Interviews up to 4,000 words
  • Exhibition, book and event reviews between 1,000 and 3,000 words
  • Reflective pieces between 1,000 and 3,000 words

All articles submitted should be original work and must not be under consideration by other publications. All submissions must be accompanied by an abstract (maximum 100 words), a list of keywords (approx. 6) and a short biography (maximum 150 words).
