Individualni in kolektivni spomin sta znakovna, imata identitetno funkcijo. Literatura je medij kulturnega spomina: literarni teksti so sledi minulih doživetij in mentalitet, pa tudi časovni ...palimpsesti; literarni kanon prek družbenih mehanizmov zagotavlja trajnost reprezentativnih idej in predstav, topika in mnemotehnika pa kontinuiteto argumentacije in imaginacije; motivi in teme novo ustvarjanje in branje vežejo na spominske sheme; z zvrstmi se obnavljajo stare upodobitve sveta, s citatnostjo pa se literatura spominja svoje tradicije, jo preoblikuje in vstopa v družbenozgodovinski kontekst.
