Geographic information systems (GIS) have spurred a renewed
interest in the influence of geographical space on human behavior
and cultural development. Ideally GIS enables humanities scholars
to discover relationships of memory, artifact, and experience that
exist in a particular place and across time. Although successfully
used by other disciplines, efforts by humanists to apply GIS and
the spatial analytic method in their studies have been limited and
halting. The Spatial Humanities aims to re-orient and perhaps
revolutionize humanities scholarship by critically engaging the
technology and specifically directing it to the subject matter of
the humanities. To this end, the contributors explore the potential
of spatial methods such as text-based geographical analysis,
multimedia GIS, animated maps, deep contingency, deep mapping, and
the geo-spatial semantic web."
