Summary/Abstract: The study poses a question about the future of canons in a context which is fundamentally opposed to the conditions of formation and operation of canons. When we talk about the canons, in fact, the issue is the way of transferring, the nature and the organization of the culture. The concussion and collapse is related to the changes in the culture’s deep structure. The growing volume of cultural production, the diffusion of knowledge and the virtualization refers to a process where culture falls apart in values which are not communicating with each other, which can be indicated with the concept of cultural tribalization. This situation may void the issue of canons as well.
