Summary/Abstract: The cause of concentration of the auto-referential model of literature can be theoretically proved on disappearing referentiality. It can be proved also by means of insight into the work of La Pittura that mannerism is far more (post)modern than it could have appeared prima facie. Theoretical and methodological data are to be verified on particular interpretations so that they do not lose their legitimacy. This pays chiefly on newer theories, particularly on the system theory and deconstruction, which are only about to achieve their reputation in the interpretation practice and to prove their potential for working with literary texts. Irritation caused by both positions mentioned is obvious since they radically refuse the target principle of hermeneutics -- i. e. complete decipherment of the meaning of the text. Despite of this, both theories offer a notion inventory, which enables describing some phenomena of literary texts not possible to seize by means of traditional hermeneutic instruments. A meaningful interconnection of these two theories can even multiply this potential.
