“This edition of the Lusophone Journal of Cultural Studies, dedicated to “Resigni-fications of festivities and community identities”, is published as part of the research project “Festivity, cultural heritage and community sustainability. Interplays between re-search and communication: the Bugiada e Mouriscada of Sobrado case”, involving a team of researchers from the Communication and Society Research Centre of the University of Minho. The project aims undertake an in-depth study of the Bugiada e Mouriscada festival in Sobrado, in the Valongo municipality, which takes place on 24 June each year. Its cen-tral objective is to develop a critical framework for recording, analysing, interpreting and disseminating findings on regularly occurring popular festivities, and their relationship with local cultural identities. Coincidentally, this issue, dedicated to festivals, is released in the same year that the open access peer-reviewed TheJournal of Festive Studies was launched. This is a sign of the vitality of this emerging field of study, which is asserting its position within the Social and Human Sciences” [Introdutory note].
