Geography, Art, Research: Artistic Research in the GeoHumanities

This book explores the intersection of geographical knowledge and artistic research, combining the 'creative turn' of geography with the 'research turn' of the arts. It offers a critical account of these forms of knowledge production through ethnographic stories of working at the intersection of creative arts practices and geographical research. It adopts a geohumanities approach to investigate how these forms of knowledge are produced, consumed, and circulated, challenging existing understandings of key sites of knowledge making. The book seeks to understand the geographies of research at the intersection of geography and creative arts practices, how these geographies challenge existing understandings, and what they can contribute to discussions of working beyond disciplines.

This captivating book delves into the fascinating intersection of geographical knowledge and artistic research, exploring both creative methods and practice-based research. By seamlessly merging geographies' 'creative turn' with the art world's 'research turn,' it presents a comprehensive and critical account of these forms of knowledge production. Drawing from a decade and a half of ethnographic stories centered around the dynamic interplay between creative arts practices and geographical research, this book offers a much-needed critical perspective on these interdisciplinary endeavors.

Adopting a geohumanities approach, the book investigates how these forms of knowledge are generated, consumed, and circulated, shedding light on the emerging imaginaries and practices of key knowledge-making sites such as the field, the artist's studio, the PhD thesis, and the exhibition. Inspired by the geographies of science and knowledge, art history and theory, and accounts of working within and beyond disciplines, this book aims to unravel the geographies of research at the intersection of geography and creative arts practices.

By challenging existing understandings of these disciplines and practices, this book contributes to our broader discussions of working beyond boundaries, including through artistic research. This timely contribution to the emerging fields of artistic research and geohumanities will captivate undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as researchers, with its insightful exploration and thought-provoking insights.
