The main objective is a qualitative probe into lives of Czech nationals living in Portugal, and to determine the problems Czechs faced trying to adapt to living in a new country. It also seeks to determine the hallmarks of acceptance by the host country from the perspective of Czechs. The first part of the hypothesis discusses the actual progression of migration in the European Union. It also describes migration theories and defines landmarks in the history of immigrationto Portugal. The other chapters are focused on immigration and integration politics in the European Union as a whole and in Portugal specifically. The thesis also described the role of programme Eures and the ACIDI organization. The thesis also details social security coordination for migrants within the European Union and within Portugal. The last chapter outlines the theme of expatriate associations. The theoretical part of diploma thesis is based mainly on professional Czech and foreign publication sources as well as internet sources. The second, practical part defines the target and research questions which are as follows: Which qualitative problems did Czechs living in Portugal face during the process of adaptation to portuguese society? What are the hallmarks of cultural acceptance by the host country from the Czech perspective? The data was obtained through the method of semi- structured interviews. The method of "captured clusters" was chosen for data evaluation while the "searched clusters" were processed into charts for charity. The discussions seeks answers on research questions by searched clusters and compares it with information in professional academic literature. The discussion cites direct responses from comunication partners to describe and approximate the life of Czechs living in Portugal. The research revealed that for Czechs trying to adapt to portuguese society, the biggest obstaclewas the difficulty of the portuguese language. A low level of competence in portuguese made it difficultto deal with administrative processes in state offices and other state institutions. It also complicated their entry and movement in labor market. However, the research determined that Czechs generally become accustomed to the cultural particularities of portuguese society, even if they still find distinct individual differences. The research showed that it was the opinion of most czechs´s that the portuguese tend to judge many immigrants based on prejudices and pre-conceived notions.

A ideia desta dissertação nasceu da pesquisa intitulada O Shuttle Migration dos brasileiros residentes no Japão sobre os fenômenos decasségui e o chamado Shuttle Migration. Desde o início do movimento decasségui, emigração dos brasileiros para o Japão, já se passaram mais de 20 anos. O referido movimento tem mostrado diversas mudanças, sendo uma delas o aparecimento de Shuttle Migration, doravante denominado como Migração Repetitiva. A Migração Repetitiva refere-se a pessoas migrantes que vão e retornam entre locais de residência, no caso, situados em países diversos, repetindo muitas vezes esse vai e volta. Muitos dos trabalhadores brasileiros no Japão tentam regressar para o Brasil, porém, frequentemente não conseguem readaptar-se e partem novamente. Neste trabalho, tentamos entender os motivos dessas idas e voltas através de contexto histórico-estrutural dos dois países. / This dissertations idea originated from the previous research about dekasegi phenomenon and Shuttle Migration, which title was The Shuttle Migration of Brazilian Workers in Japan. Since Brazilian workers emigration to Japan, a so-called dekasegi phenomenon started, over 20 years have passed. And, this phenomenon has showed various changes. One of them is appearance of Shuttle Migration called Repeated Migration in this dissertation. The term refers to the migrated people who goes and comes back between residential locations in different countries, often repeating this movement. Many of Brazilian workers in Japan try to return to Brazil, but frequently they cant readapt and go away again. In this dissertation, well try to understand causes of this repeated movement through the historical and structural contexts of both countries.

A presente tese analisa as formas de estruturação e as relações entre as comunidades lituanas radicados na Argentina, Brasil e Uruguai. De forma comparada, buscaremos compreender as referências identitarias deste grupo nacional durante o processo de desenraizamento territorial e a formação dos laços de solidariedade ao longo do processo de inserção nos diferentes Estados nacionais. Ao mesmo tempo, analisaremos como estas comunidades se relacionavam, para além das fronteiras dos países em que se estabeleceram, construindo intercâmbios de experiências e organizando movimentos sociais e políticos. Das diferentes posturas políticas identificaremos os conflitos no interior das comunidades e destas com os Estados e a sociedade argentina, brasileira e uruguaia. Ainda consideraremos o papel do governo lituano nas formações comunitárias, durante o período de independência do país (1918 1940). Procuraremos observar a relação entre os lituanos de origem judaica com a estruturação das comunidades nacionais lituanas. Adotaremos como balizas temporais os anos de 1920 a 1950, contemplando os dois principais momentos desta imigração para a América do Sul. / We aim to investigate the forms of organization and the relation among the Lithuanian communities rooted in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay. By comparing them, we seek to understand the identity references within each national group during the process of territorial unrooting and solidarity bonding along with the inset processes in the different national States. At the same time, we intend to analise how those communitites have related to each other, beyond the country boundaries in which they had established themselves, building experience interchanges and organizing social and political movements. From the different political postures, we intend to identify the conflicts within the communities and against the Argentinian, Brazilian, and Uruguayan States and societies. We still intend to consider the Lithuanian government role in the community formation during the period of the country independency (1918-1940). We also look for observing the relation among the originally Jewish Lithuanian and the Lithuanian national communities formation process. We have considered the years between 1920 and 1950 as our time range, comprising the two main moments of the imigration to South America.

(in English): The aim of the present thesis is to investigate and describe the role of non-professional translation and interpreting between Spanish and Czech in the intercultural communication, whose actors were and are Czech compatriots in Argentina. The two introductory parts of the thesis provide a summary on the historical context of the Czech emigration to Argentina and about the language situation of Czech compatriots in Argentina. The theoretical part is based on the sociological turn in translation studies, on the focus on the translator and the history of translation and translators. Methodologically, the thesis is based primarily on archival research and oral history. The empirical part maps the occurrence of amateur translations in our corpus, further, it draws attention to some larger translations made by compatriots and, last but not least, it gathers information about non-professional interpreting in the Czech compatriot communities in Argentina. As a conclusion, the found information is summarized and further possibilities of linguistic research of the Czech compatriot communities in Argentina are proposed.
