Resumo(s)
This article discusses the self-perceived integration of Swedes permanently residing
in Portugal. The knowledge of how EU citizens, particularly Swedes, live and integrate
into Portuguese society is limited. The conceptual framework on self-perceived
integration takes its points of departure from the concepts of a sense of belonging to
society and place, feelings of discomfort and coping tactics. Using a semi-structured
interview guide, 36 in-depth interviews with Swedes permanently residing in
Portugal were conducted. Whereas some of the permanently residing Swedes have
no ambition of integrating into Portuguese society, others display a strong selfperceived
feeling of being integrated within the community where they live. The
added value of this paper is that it shows the complexity behind the construction of
the feeling of self-perceived integration of Swedes in Portugal. Building a feeling of
self-perceived integration depends on many factors and is not a linear process.
