In the past decade, there has been a convergence of
transdisciplinary thought characterized by geography’s engagement
with the humanities, and the humanities’ integration of place and
the tools of geography into its studies.

GeoHumanities maps this emerging intellectual terrain
with thirty cutting edge contributions from internationally
renowned scholars, architects, artists, activists, and
scientists. This book explores the humanities’ rapidly expanding
engagement with geography, and the multi-methodological inquiries
that analyze the meanings of place, and then reconstructs those
meanings to provoke new knowledge as well as the possibility of
altered political practices. It is no coincidence that the
geohumanities are forcefully emerging at a time of immense
intellectual and social change. This book focuses on a range of
topics to address urgent contemporary imperatives, such as the
link between creativity and place; altered practices of spatial
literacy; the increasing complexity of visual representation in
art, culture, and science and the ubiquitous presence of
geospatial technologies in the Information Age.

GeoHumanties is essential reading for students wishing
to understand the intellectual trends and forces driving
scholarship and research at the intersections of geography and
the humanities disciplines. These trends hold far-reaching
implications for future work in these disciplines, and for
understanding the changes gripping our societies and our
globalizing world.
