1229 | | Geohumanities: creative geographies and artistic practices at a crossroads | Maria Lindmäe (1); Brian Rosa (2); Tauri Tuvikene (3); Aleksandra Ianchenko (4)
This panel invites papers that focus on the intersection of arts, culture and geographical research in addressing contemporary societal challenges, building on the tradition of geohumanities. We welcome papers that bring new knowledge of how artistic and cultural practices relate to, and intervene in the production of spaces, places, and landscapes. We are particularly interested in discussions relating to creative responses to the Covid-19 pandemic, climate change and other socio-ecological challenges, urban livelihoods, inequalities and mobilities, along with the methodological innovations and challenges brought forth through engagement with experimental methods and non-textual outputs. The session pushes forward exploration on how the emerging field of the geohumanities is manifested in Europe, how do we understand its value in relation to broader currents in geography, and how it relates to closely affiliated field of landscape research, urban studies and artistic research?
We welcome papers that include topics such as:
Creative practices for a sustainable future: how can the creative arts sector address climate change and convey actions for social and ecological sustainability.
New methodological approaches to doing geohumanities.
Theorizing the geohumanities and its relationship with broader currents in geography, the humanities, and creative practice.
(Post)-pandemic landscapes and culture: how have recent social changes influenced urban and rural landscape change and what is the role of geohumanities in addressing such changes.
Artistic and cultural practices emerging from (post)-pandemic urban to rural migration: challenges and impacts on the local communities.
The crossover between research-based arts practice, artistic research and creative methods within geography.
Formats and challenges to publishing and disseminating geohumanities research that engages with non-textual media.
