The role of creative culture at the crossroad of geography and the humanities.

Abstract

The geographic experience and the geohumanistic knowledge are articulated around the the concept of geograficity that Eric Dardel raised more than half a century ago. This concept includes an ontological reflection on the “geographical being” as the most essential part of geography (and also of the humanities). In the present article the different perspectives of the geohumanities are analyzed: the creative geographies, the geoliterature, the geohistory or the visual geographies among others. In this article we present concrete examples of the geographical experience in each of these areas to draw a discourse on how this set of new perspectives, rather than creating a new epistemological orientation, aims to open new horizons in geographical knowledge that integrates different areas inside and outside of academic geography and draw new links with humanistic disciplines and the creative arts.

Keywords: Creativity, humanities, geohumanities, geocreativity, art, geographic thought.
