Abstract: Let $Gamma$ be a one-ended, torsion-free hyperbolic group and let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group with finite center. Using the canonical JSJ splitting due to Sela, we define amalgam Anosov representations of $Gamma$ into $G$ and prove that they form a domain of discontinuity for the action of $mathrmOut(Gamma)$. In the appendix, we prove, using projective Anosov Schottky groups, that if the restriction of the representation to every Fuchsian or rigid vertex group of the JSJ splitting of $Gamma$ is Anosov, with respect to a fixed pair of opposite parabolic subgroups, then $ho$ is amalgam Anosov.
