MARKOVÁ, Romana
The thesis describes the role of Vietnamese cuisine in the process of integration of the Vietnamese minority in the Czech Republic. The diploma thesis is divided into two parts-theoretical and practical. The theoretical part deals with the concept of integration as such, its definition and classification. The first half of the work focuses on the integration policy of the Government of the Czech Republic and introduces readers to the notions of culture, cultural sensitivity, intercultural encounters and contact. In the theoretical part, there are also described centers for supporting integration and non-profit organizations in the Czech Republic engaged in the support of integration and what is the role the food in this process and to what extent these organizations focus on the role of food. There is also a presentation of Vietnamese cuisine in the Czech Republic. Furthermore, the theoretical part of the thesis focuses specifically on the concept of food, Vietnamese cuisine and a brief introduction of typical Vietnamese dishes. Last but not least, the diploma thesis reflects important knowledge about food as an instrument of integration, which serves as the basis for the following practical part. The practical part is devoted to the research itself, the main task of which was to find out, in a semi-structured interview, what role food plays in the process of integration, to what extent the addressed organizations consciously use food in their practice as one way of integration and how they reflect its effectiveness in the integration process. It reveals how Vietnamese cuisine is perceived in the Czech Republic and how the Vietnamese minority adopts Czech eating habits. It also summarizes the benefits of introducing culture through food, and the possible disadvantages of this, or the extent to which it is possible to learn about foreign cultures through food.
