Abstract

Urban Art is gradually assuming an increasingly significant role in the development of a city’s character, something which is often promoted by public institutions. This has been strongly instigated by the rhetoric of creative cities, present in the strategies for the urban development of many cities in recent years. The rising appreciation of this artistic movement and the recognition of the cultural and symbolic role it currently plays are accompanied by a growing offer of tourism services in this field, namely, through dozens of tours operated by multiple entities. The literature has, in fact, been paying some attention to this phenomenon of touristification of Urban Art. In this article, we draw on qualitative empirical material from an ongoing research project on Urban Art in the city of Lisbon. We consider the touristification of Urban Art in Lisbon to be a recent and still ongoing process involving several social actors with specific perspectives, strategies, actions and representations. We have concluded that there is currently a combination of social and economic factors favourable to the development of this process of touristification. This could not have happened without (a) a number of institutional initiatives, (b) local entrepreneurship ventures and (c) the development of a narrative shared by the different agents.

城市艺术旅游化：以里斯本为例

城市艺术在城市个性发展中逐渐发挥着越来越重要的作用，这通常是由公共机构推动的。近年来，许多城市的城市发展战略中都出现了创意城市的言论，这有力地推动了这一点。随着人们对这场艺术运动的日益赞赏和对其目前所发挥的文化和象征作用的认可，该领域的旅游服务也在不断增加，即通过多个实体运营的数十次旅游。事实上，文献一直在关注城市艺术的旅游化现象。在本文中，我们借鉴了里斯本市正在进行的城市艺术研究项目的定性经验材料。我们认为里斯本城市艺术的旅游化是一个最近且仍在进行的过程，涉及几个具有特定视角、策略、行动和表现的社会参与者。我们得出的结论是，目前有一系列社会和经济因素有利于这一旅游化进程的发展。如果没有（a）一些机构举措，（b）当地创业企业，以及（c）不同代理人共同的叙事，这是不可能发生的。

期刊介绍： Tourist Studies is a multi-disciplinary journal providing a platform for the development of critical perspectives on the nature of tourism as a social phenomenon through a qualitative lens. Theoretical and multi-disciplinary. Tourist Studies provides a critical social science approach to the study of the tourist and the structures which influence tourist behaviour and the production and reproduction of tourism. The journal examines the relationship between tourism and related fields of social inquiry. Tourism and tourist styles consumption are not only emblematic of many features of contemporary social change, such as mobility, restlessness, the search for authenticity and escape, but they are increasingly central to economic restructuring, globalization, the sociology of consumption and the aestheticization of everyday life. Tourist Studies analyzes these features of tourism from a multi-disciplinary perspective and seeks to evaluate, compare and integrate approaches to tourism from sociology, socio-psychology, leisure studies, cultural studies, geography and anthropology. Global Perspective. Tourist Studies takes a global perspective of tourism, widening and challenging the established views of tourism presented in current periodical literature. Tourist Studies includes: Theoretical analysis with a firm grounding in contemporary problems and issues in tourism studies, qualitative analyses of tourism and the tourist experience, reviews linking theory and policy, interviews with scholars at the forefront of their fields, review essays on particular fields or issues in the study of tourism, review of key texts, publications and visual media relating to tourism studies, and notes on conferences and other events of topical interest to the field of tourism studies.
