In the Greek city of <strong>Athens<\/strong>, to the <strong>temple<\/strong> built to pay tribute to this goddess it was called <strong>Athenaeum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>From this origin, the concept of <strong>athenaeum<\/strong> began to be used to name the <strong>groups dedicated to research and artistic or scientific dissemination<\/strong>, and to <strong>establishment<\/strong> in which the <strong>people<\/strong> dedicated to these tasks met.<\/p>\n<p>An athenaeum, therefore, is currently a <strong>entity<\/strong> that groups individuals interested in some branch of the <strong>culture<\/strong> or knowledge.  These entities may, over time, seek greater formality and constitute themselves as <strong>clubs<\/strong>, <strong>civil associations<\/strong>, etc.<\/p>\n<p>For example: <em>\"Tomorrow there will be a talk on the history of Egypt at the Ateneo de San Juan\"<\/em>, <em>\"For three months I have been learning cryptography at the athenaeum\"<\/em>, <em>\u201cMy grandfather, recently arrived from Spain, met with his compatriots in an athenaeum to discuss <strong>politics<\/strong>\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The rise of the athenaeums as cultural centers took place in the <strong>XIX century<\/strong>.  In countries like <strong>Spain<\/strong>, the upper classes formed their athenaeums with the intention of maintaining the status quo, while the lower classes developed athenaeums with other ideological orientations in order to promote the <strong>revolution<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Athenaeums are generally run by their own members through <strong>assemblies<\/strong>.  In some cases, there are teams of directors who are elected by the rest of the members and who are in charge of <strong>to decide<\/strong> the measures to be taken.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, we can mention that <strong>The Grand Splendid Athenaeum<\/strong>, popularly known as <strong>The Athenaeum<\/strong>, is a famous bookstore of the <strong>Buenos aires city<\/strong> It is located in the building that belonged to an old theater.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Athenaeum of Malaga<\/strong> is a <strong>association<\/strong> of literary and artistic interest that was founded in 1966 in the Spanish city and is part of the <strong>Federation of Athenaeums of Andalusia<\/strong>.  Among its objectives are the following:<\/p>\n<p><strong>*<\/strong> bring together artists, scientists and intellectuals with people interested in their work so that culture in its many forms is fostered and spread;<\/p>\n<p><strong>*<\/strong> organize and promote events such as <strong>conferences<\/strong>, exhibitions, seminars, recitals, contests, colloquia and others that serve to disseminate culture;<\/p>\n<p><strong>*<\/strong> work together with other entities, both in the public and private spheres, to achieve these goals.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Ateneo-1.jpg\" alt=\"Athenaeum\" width=\"260\" height=\"200\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-70195\"\/>In 2001 he began to edit the <strong>magazine<\/strong> <strong>Athenaeum of the New Century<\/strong>.

It has extensions in several Malaga municipalities, such as Fuengirola, Alhaur\u00edn el Grande, Torrox, Ronda, Villanueva del Rosario, Torremolinos and Marbella.<\/p>\n<p>In Seville there is also a cultural association with an equivalent name, which was founded in 1887. Every year the <strong>Athenaeum of Seville Award<\/strong>, a literature contest that began in 1969 with the help of the founder of the <strong>Editorial Planeta<\/strong>, the Spanish publisher <strong>Jose Manuel Lara Hernandez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Among the categories that comprise the Ateneo Prize are <strong>the novel, the story and the poetry<\/strong>.
