Description:

An exploration of the ways in which Latin American jungles have been plotted by fiction, films and testimonies throughout the 20th century and today. We will investigate the construction of jungle as a cultural space where diverse anxieties about sovereignty, nationhood, race, development, gender and subversion collide, and think about this topo-graphy in relation to projects of modernization, and in the context of recent global angst over the environment and its destruction.
