The name SpLitera is a mixture of Split and literature, but hidden in it is also the English word split in the meaning of division (which must be overcome through encounters): The division of the Mediterranean Sea into religions, peoples, language groups and continents; the division of the Mediterranean Sea into traditions, currents of the sea and winds, vegetation thriving on the shores of the Mediterranean. The division of the inhabitants into old-established and newcomers, travellers, tourists, refugees. The division into the mainland and the islands.
