Abstract: This issue of the Lusophone Journal of Cultural Studies, focuses on the relations that public art establishes with a very current, but relatively little studied, social process: tourism communication, in particular the case of cultural tourism. Dean McCannell (University of California) and other authors from France, Spain, Portugal and Brazil present texts inside the following sections:

• (Hi)stories, epistemologies and theories about public art, the city and tourism;

• Visual, virtual and virtuous methodologies for the communication of urban and tourism arts;

• Case studies on public art for tourism communication;

• Various clues for future re-mediations on current media.

Cultural Studies and Tourism Studies, as well as adjacent research areas, can benefit from this dialectics.

Keywords: Public art; tourism communication; sociological methods; digital media
