This article aims to expand the boundaries of linguistic landscape analysis (LL) by proposing the concept of literary landscape (LitL).
Based on the hypothesis that it is possible to recognize and study signs of a literary nature within the LL, our research reveals the omnipresence of such signs, justifying the relevance and need for the concept of LitL. We argue that LitL not only shares many characteristics with LL but also exhibits unique features that outline its existence and durability, functioning as a mechanism of political and cultural mediation that accompanies and shapes the various regimes of canonical preservation of literature. Therefore, we present a comprehensive definition and analytical framework for LitL, illustrated with cases from Portuguese literature.
