Creative Geographies, Geography of Art, Creative (Re)turnAbstract
Since its origins as a modern science, geographical knowledge has established contact with artistic practices. This process intensified after the 1960s with the diffusion of the humanistic epistemological movement and has recently gained a breath of fresh air due to the creative (re)turn in geography. By surveying these tendencies, this essay aims to unravel the contemporary articulations between Geography and Art, focusing on creative geographies. Thus, this text follows a theoretical and methodological discussion based on the bibliography of cultural geographies and phenomenological conceptions of art and presents some examples of its applications. By conceiving arts as processes that involve idea matrixes with multiple meanings, the creative (re)turn is marked by studies that highlight the (in)visible, (in)tangible, (un)speakable, and (im)possible geographical experiences. These investigations concern performances, graffiti, literature, painting, installation, and other artistic manifestations that are sensibly, intersubjectively, and intercorporeally associated with spatial dynamics. Beyond promoting the geographical studies of artworks and what they produce in the world, creative geographies also disseminate immersive, experimental, and art-inspired research practices. Thus, geopoetic, geoaesthetic, and art-geographical productions offer methodological, theoretical, and linguistic pathways for contemporary cultural geographies’ investigations.
