How can we speak about process in literature and the arts? Process involves action(s) and changes taking place over time (creative process, narrativity, etc.) and/or across media (from text to image and vice-versa, process art, photography, etc.). Process leads toward a particular outcome and/or event.
The objective of the 2023 Graduate Conference in Studies in Comparative Literatures and Arts is to present and analyze how different authors/artists understand the notion of process and applies it in their work, or how different works process information (for instance, how a landscape or an event is represented, evoked, described, mediatized in specific works). Works studied may be literary texts, visual art, performances, music, installations, interdisciplinary creation, etc.

To emigrate is to leave, to immigrate is to arrive and stay, to migrate is to move, often as a result of forced displacement. Most emigrants, immigrants, migrants and/or refugees frequently face difficult, if not heartbreaking decisions when they decide they must settle elsewhere. According to the latest UNHCR estimates, 65.6 million people have been forcibly displaced worldwide by war, poverty, and/or climate change. Many live(d) in refugee/migrant camps where they often face(d) inhumane conditions, discrimination, violence, and racism, while others spend/spent most of their lives in transit camps. Contributions to this volume explore topics in literature, graphic novels, visual arts, film, dance, and education.
