| Description | The paper presents practical use of literary theory, resp. encompassing philology based on the foundations of the Prague School. By structuralist thematic/semantic analysis of the text by Cesare Pavese, we present the current possibilities of using Central European literary theory and suggest where the literary theory can go further. For methodological purposes we use, besides encompassing philology, also the school of interpretive semantics of F. Rastier and also the semantic contexts of Jiří Veltruský (in Rastier's way understood as domains). Interpretation relies on three basic probes: the first examines the dimensions and domains of actors and agonists; the second deals with the semantic contexts of the individual actors and the transmutation of the sign value within these contexts; the third focuses on the isotopic bundle and the semic molecule a la Rastier. Everything is ultimately related to Jan Mukařovský's semantic gesture. The paper presents practical use of literary theory, resp. encompassing philology based on the foundations of the Prague School.
