"Public Culture" is a reviewed interdisciplinary academic journal of cultural studies, founded in 1988 by anthropologists Carol Breckenridge and Arjun Appadurai. By its own account, the journal seeks to address “the cultural transformations associated with cities, media and consumption, and the cultural flows that draw cities, societies and states into larger transnational relationships and global political economies” [cite web|url=http://publicculture.org/|title=Public Culture web site] . Among recent contributors are Charles Taylor, Asef Bayat, Dipesh Chakrabarty, George Chauncey, Jean Comaroff, Achille Mbembe, and Michael Watts.

"Public Culture" is currently edited at Columbia University and published for the Society for Transnational Cultural Studies by Duke University Press. Initially based at the University of Pennsylvania and published independently, in 1992 the journal moved to the University of Chicago, first under the editorship of Carol Breckenridge, later under Elizabeth Povinelli. In 2004, the journal moved from Chicago to New York to accompany its editor, Claudio Lomnitz, based first at The New School and then, since 2006, at Columbia. Under Lomnitz and Executive Editor Dilip Parameshwar Gaonkar, "Public Culture" underwent a complete redesign and implemented three new regular sections: “Doxa at Large,” a space for shorter opinion pieces on recent events; “Arts in Circulation,” featuring reflections on innovative cultural work and on the work of art in public; and “Sites of Knowledge,” focusing on institutions that have made a significant mark on a world region.

The journal has received recognition from several sources, including a nomination for Best Journal Design in the 2007 Council of Editors of Learned Journals Awards and a favorable review in the "Times Literary Supplement".cite web|url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/the_tls/|title=The Times Literary Supplement|accessdate = 2006-11-3|author=Danchev, Alex|title=The Times Literary Supplement|date=Friday, 3 Novemember, 2006]
