This course examines how the jungle/rainforest ("selva") space is defined in Latin America and how it is represented in literature, film, and photography. The course does not focus on the Brazilian Amazon, but instead examines the representation of Spanish-American jungle spaces, including those found in Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, and the Central American isthmus, from the Encounter until present day.

This course is also listed as ENVS 332.
