With the distinction of "making the knowledge that turns into culture", this Award is intended to stimulate reflection on problems of art and literature, social sciences and humanistic studies, political theory and ideology- that is to say, culture in its broadest and most fundamental sense- in keeping with the thematic spectrum of Temas Magazine.
