Abstract

: In Paraíso Travel the painful process that the characters suffer in their migration trip is raised, but also the focus is related to what for some represents the almost impossible insertion in these “new worlds”. The love-hate relationship (union-separation) that constitutes the story of Marlon and Reina, is the excuse to realize what the anguish of many of the migrants means in their spaces of exclusion, while opting for other spaces that also do not They represent a real way out of your pain and disenchantment problems.

Similarly, in The brief and wonderful life of Óscar Wao, the issue of migration is approached in two directions: space migration that takes the central character from one country to another in search of better conditions that allow its social insertion and a better adaptability, in personal and professional terms, in order to function in another culture while fleeing “from the curse” that afflicts his family. On the other hand, it manifests a process of internal migration, a shun of itself, and its immediate environment, so it seeks refuge in comics and literary production, while trying to be the best at what it does, a new teacher of science fiction; this as a way to find oneself, and to interact more adequately with their environment and their own personality.
