The philosophical modernity of the Enlightenment contributed to change cultural agents and international knowledge networks. The European agents and values of eighteenth-century intellectual communication were expanded and secularized. New forms of intellectual and patriotic sociability emerged in the public sphere. In this context, sociability was marked by the establishment of philanthropic, economic and patriotic associations. This study highlights the importance of three associations created and imagined in the late 18th and early 19th centuries: the Sociedade dos Mancebos Patriotas of Coimbra (1780); the Montepio Literário (1813); and the Sociedade Patriótica Literária de Lisboa (1822).

Resumo
A modernidade filosófica do Iluminismo contribuiu para a mudança de agentes culturais e de redes internacionais do conhecimento. Os veículos de comunicação intelectual, à escala europeia, foram expandidos e secularizados. Novas formas de sociabilidade intelectual e patriótica surgiram na esfera pública. Neste contexto, a sociabilidade mundana foi marcada pelo estabelecimento de associações filantrópicas, económicas e patrióticas. Neste estudo destacamos a importância que três associações tiveram no final do século XVIII e inícios do século XIX: a Sociedade dos Mancebos Patriotas com sede em Coimbra (1780); o Montepio Literário (1813); e a Sociedade Patriótica Literária de Lisboa (1822).
