This book results from, and expands with further contributions, the international conference “The trouble with primitivism: uses of the past in iberian and transatlantic modernisms”, which closed the project “iberian modernisms and the primitivist imaginary” (PIM) (PTDC/ART-HIS/29837/2017) and that took place at NOVA FCSH, Lisbon, on 26-28 may 2022. A wide range of authors discuss the uses of the past and the myths of origins implicated in the troublesome concept of ‘primitivism’ and its operability in spanish, portuguese, latin american and other semi-peripheral contexts.
