The International Congresses of Americanists, which are still being organized, began in 1875. They are events where researchers and experts from all over the world discuss issues related to Americanism, which, for the majority of the time and in almost all expressions, is understood as either Latin Americanism, Hispanic Americanism or Ibero-Americanism.

This project intends to study the first congresses, held between 1875 and 1910, as a privileged scenario to account for some identity tensions manifested in these congresses, and how some of the participants were cultural articulators within their framework. In fact, in these congresses, notions like Latin America, Latinity, Hispanism, Ibero-Americanism and Latin Americanism were proposed as identities in tension, represented by the voice of intellectuals and experts from different latitudes -France, Spain, Latin America- that assumed their own dynamics.

The project’s hypothesis is that, at the beginning, in these congresses, besides defining some disciplinary issues, other aspects of identity were settled, accompanying the climate of the times when relations between nations within the American continent and with Europe -particularly with Spain and France- were changing swiftly.
