In 1993 this journal started being published in monographic issues, each of them dedicated to a “word”, concept or subject showing up as a great and current problem and subject matter for discussion. The word deals with different fields of human disciplines: History, Politics, Sociology, Philosophy, Anthropology, Economics, Law, Religion, Human Geography. The key-word becomes the main theme of a report of present history and the reason for a comparison among different theories and positions.
