Slavica Tergestina was founded in 1987 at the University of Trieste by scholars of the Advanced School of Modern Languages for Interpreters and Translators (SSLMIT – Scuola Superiore di Lingue Moderne per Interpreti e Traduttori). After the introductory volume published in 1987, the journal appeared regularly beginning in 1994. Since then, eighteen volumes have been published, adding up to over 250 articles written by researchers from different countries (mostly Russian, Hungarian, Croatian, Serbian and Italian Slavic scholars). The volumes were reviewed in several scientific publications in Russia, Italy, Poland, Hungary and Slovenia. Some volumes focused on a monographic topic: <em>Наследие Ю.М. Лотмана</em>, 1996; <em>Славянские языки и перевод</em>, 1997; <em>Художественный текст и его гео-культурные стратификации</em>, 2000; <em>Литературоведение XXI века. Письмо – Текст – Культура</em>, 2002, <em>Law & Literature</em>, 2011; <em>The Great Story</em>, 2012; <em>Slavia Islamica</em>, 2013; <em>The Yugoslav Partisan Art</em>, 2016. Most of the articles published so far deal with the cultural realm of the Slavic world from the perspective of modern structuralist, semiotic and cultural methodological approaches, but the Journal Slavica TerGestina remains open to other approaches and methodologies.
