| Résumé anglais |
North America's migration (in the territory comprised between Mexico to the south and Canada to the north of the continent) is a living phenomenon that, beyond numbers, involves people and their circumstances. In this sense, different narrative expressions contribute to the understanding of this and other associated processes, through the construction of characters and the development of plots that reflect, from various perspectives, on identity. Beyond its facets and contradictions, identity is a set of choices that become relevant (emerge) in different social contexts. This work proposes a comparative analysis of different narrative proposals, within the framework of the migratory process and its parameters: vulnerability, adverse conditions at the origin, transit and destination, cultural clash, uprooting and assimilation, systemic violence, among others. In a review that ranges from testimonial novel to crime novel, through sequential art proposals, the aim is to reflect on how narratives recreate and question both migration in North America and its various social aspects, in terms of individuals and collectives.
