Abstract
Of all the terms that came to define the making of culture and art in the long twentieth century, there was perhaps none as necessary and troublesome as primitivism and the tropes associated with it. This afterword is a reflection on the collection of articles in this special issue struggling with the question of how to work with disputed terms such as primitivism, and to consider the possibilities and limits of the aesthetic ideology of modernism and its alternative iterations.
