This essay explores the concept of literary culture and its place in the creation of political cultures. In this text I defend the theoretical and methodological interest, for intellectual history, of adopting a broad idea of the concept of literary culture. Focusing the Goan case in the colonial period, I recall its multilingualism and the importance of attending the social, political history and intellectual history of each language in the constitution of diverse local literary cultures. The challenge is to study such diversity, the transits between traditions and the political-cultural use of the palette of languages, considering the coexistence of multilingualism with plurilingualism in this society.
