The purpose of this work project is to analyze the phenomenon of self-initiated expatriation (SIE) through its link to the Protean Career and Career Capital theories, focusing in particular on Italian and Portuguese students attending a Master in the business area. The main research questions are to understand the reasons driving the intention to expatriate, after the conclusion of the academic path, using three main categories (Adventure Motivation, Work Characteristic Motivation and instrumental Motivation) and the intention to repatriate. A sample of Italian and Portuguese students was obtained. Italians show a higher intention to expatriate relative to Portuguese; nevertheless, no other significant differences were found among the two populations, because of the similar cultural background and economic situation. Additionally, several heterogeneities were observed considering other clusters defined by Gender, Teaching Language of the Master and Past International Experiences, across the two nationalities. Furthermore, possible future researches and practical implications were discussed.

If an opening to the argument of this dissertation is of imperative necessity, one might tentatively begin with Herbert Quain, born in Roscommon, Ireland, author of the novels The God of the Labyrinth (1933) and April March (1936), the short-story collection Statements (1939), and the play The Secret Mirror (undated). To a certain extent, this idiosyncratic Irish author, who hailed from the ancient province of Connacht, may be regarded as a forerunner of the type of novels which will be considered in this dissertation. Quain was, after all, the unconscious creator of one of the first structurally disintegrated novels in the history of western literature, April March. His first novel, The God of the Labyrinth, also exhibits elements which are characteristic of structurally disintegrated fiction, for it provides the reader with two possible solutions to a mysterious crime. As a matter of fact, one might suggest that Quain’s debut novel offers the reader the possibility to ignore the solution to the crime and carry on living his or her readerly life, turning a blind eye to the novel itself. It may hence be argued that Quain’s first novel is in fact a compound of three different novels. It is self-evident that the structure of Quain’s oeuvre is of an experimental nature, combining geometrical precision with authorial innovation, and one finds in it a higher consideration for formal defiance than for the text itself. In other words, the means of expression are the concern of the author and not, interestingly, the textual content. April March, for example, is a novel which regresses back into itself, its first chapter focussing on an evening which is preceded by three possible evenings which, in turn, are each preceded by three other, dissimilar, possible evenings. It is a novel of backward-movement, and it is due to this process of branching regression that April March contains within itself at least nine possible novels. Structure, therefore, paradoxically controls the text, for it allows the text to expand or contract under its formal limitations. In other words, the formal aspects of the novel, usually associated with the restrictive device of a superior design, contribute to a liberation of the novel’s discourse. It is paradoxical only in the sense that the idea of structure necessarily entails the fixation of a narrative skeleton that determines how plot and discourse interact, something which Quain flouts for the purposes of innovation. In this sense, April March’s convoluted structure allows for multiple readings and interpretations of the same text, consciously germinating narratives within itself, producing different texts from a single, unique source. Thus, text and means of expression are bonded by a structural design that, rather than limiting, liberates the text of the novel.

O estudo, com um desenho quase experimental, teve como objetivo verificar os efeitos de um programa específico de formação tipo SEL (aprendizagem social, emocional) e de autodisciplina nas variáveis: clima da sala de aula, autodisciplina, envolvimento académico e autoeficácia dos professores. Um grupo de 13 professoras de Língua Portuguesa, do 2º ciclo, a lecionar a 489 alunos do 5º e 6ºano, em duas escolas do Alentejo Litoral, foi sujeito ao programa específico de formação e implementou-o com os alunos durante um período de 5 meses. Para a recolha de dados na avaliação pré-teste e pós-teste utilizou-se o questionário, aplicado às professoras e aos alunos, e a observação de aulas em registo vídeo. As aulas filmadas foram analisadas por 21 professores observadores, de diferentes disciplinas e de outras escolas, com mais de dez anos de experiência profissional. Os registos individuais das professoras, em grelhas orientadas, sobre a aplicação e a eficácia do programa nos alunos, foram submetidos a análise de conteúdo. Ainda que os resultados não sejam significativos estatisticamente, indicam tendências positivas na alteração das variáveis, sobretudo os da avaliação dos professores observadores. Os resultados dos dados qualitativos mostram alterações positivas no clima relacional da sala de aula, nos comportamentos sociais dos alunos e maior envolvimento cognitivo, emocional e comportamental nas atividades da disciplina. Na autoeficácia das professoras também se verificaram ganhos positivos na avaliação pós-teste.
