Summary/Abstract: The present article discusses briefly, along the lines proposed by the organizers of the conference dedicated to ‘Contemporary Strategies of Literary and Cultural Histories’, the possible changes of paradigm in literary criticism and theory under the assumption of a complexity dominated world. Its conclusion is that a new way of “metaphoric thinking” based on “multivalued concepts”, among them amnesia and anamnesis mentioned by the organizers, represents one of the most adequate ways to establish a new paradigm for the technological age of tomorrow.
