Since its origin, geography and the humanities have dialogued with each other with the purpose of understanding the complex relationships between humans and the environment. The spatial reflections formulated from cultural geography that reached history, art, archaeology, and literature, from the second half of the 20th century to date, have been potentiated in the last two decades with the emergence of interdisciplinary fields known such as geohumanities and spatial humanities. These neologisms are sometimes used as synonyms and it is possible to identify a certain disparity in their respective definitions when they are enunciated from geography, or from the humanities. One of the aspects that tends to vary is its relationship with geospatial technologies and its conception from the digital humanities, a field created from the interaction between the humanities and computational sciences. This article aims to explain the bridges between cultural geography and digital humanities with a view to reflecting on and answering the following questions: What are the similarities and tensions between these interdisciplinary neologisms? What difference is there when these are enunciated from the field of geography or from the digital humanities? How has the dialogue been with and from cultural geography that explains the different notions of these concepts? How are these fields understood and practiced in the context of Ibero-American countries? This analysis seeks to point out the need to promote and strengthen the dialogue between cultural geographers and digital humanists, which can guide the creation and strengthening of new lines of research.
