Abstract
The recent emergence of geohumanities signals a cross-disciplinary and a transdisciplinary engagement with themes of space and place. As a loosely structured field of inquiry, geohumanities combines a long-standing humanities interest in the Earth, dating back to the Renaissance, with much more recent developments in the digital humanities and creative uses of geographic information science (GIScience). This entry explores these varying genealogies of the geohumanities and points toward future prospects for the new field.
