A new journal and book series

In 2019-2020 I co-organised the conference "Black Sea as literary and cutural space (II): peoples and communities / La mer Noire comme espace littéraire et culturel (II): peuples et communautés", which was digitally hosted in Sofia in April 2021  (https://sites.google.com/view/blackseaesplit2sofia). 

During the work over the post-conference volume, an idea emerged about the launching of a journal and monograph series devoted to the (re)construction of a Black Sea space across humanities: "Transponticae", paper ISSN 2815-4266, an online version is due (https://sites.google.com/view/transponticae/home).  

The first paper volume of "Transponticae" was printed in April 2023:
