Summary:

This volume explores the intersection of Digital Humanities, Human Geography, and Geographic Information Science (GIScience). It focuses on integrating spatial concepts, theories, and methodologies from geography into digital research in the humanities. The book addresses the limitations of traditional GIS approaches within Digital Humanities and advocates for incorporating critical, feminist, and place-based GIS perspectives to enhance spatial analysis and modeling. Through interdisciplinary contributions, the work aims to bridge disciplinary boundaries, stimulate collaboration, and innovate research frameworks for studying spatial relationships, societal dynamics, and cultural phenomena. It is intended for researchers and scholars in Digital Humanities, geography, and related fields. Generated by AI.
