Geohumanities (sometimes known as spatial humanities) is the fusion, meeting point, academic inquiry between geography and the creative arts. This relatively new field of study investigates the spaces that make possible the intersectional collision of all sorts of geographical studies (manufactured structures, mapping practices, GIS, visual geographies, others) with theories, practices and co-becomings emanating from all manners of the creative arts, as well as the imbrication of affect and emotion. How are places and landscapes conceptualised, represented and/or imagined by social theorists, novelists, painters, film practitioners, poets, philosophers, ecologists and others? How might artistic practices and products of the creative arts and popular media portray, inspire and invite affective responses towards various human and natural spaces?
