Beyond the Resonance Metaphor: Re-Sounding Images, Experiences, and Poetic Reverberations.
NiTRO: Non Traditional Research Outcomes, 41.
pp. 1-4.
Abstract
In the creative and performing arts, resonance is everywhere, both literally and metaphorically. In music, a plucked string on a viola vibrates at the natural frequency of the instrument’s hollow body. In singing, the vocal folds open and close to chop up the pressurised airflow from the lungs, creating soundwaves that are resounded by the vocal tract. Metaphorically, in moments of connection, performers feel a resonance with their audience – an actor may feel 'heard' by their fans; a musician might be 'amplified' by a crowd’s roaring applause. Off stage, and on page, writers too strive to achieve emotional resonance – that magical connection between characters and readers. As readers, we might encounter a poet whose skilful use of figurative language ('Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?') resonates with our felt experience of longing and lust.
