Abstract: Spectacles and invisibilities of legitimizing discourse of tourismThe aim of this work is to propose and encourage critical reflection on the discursive production of tourism in contemporaneity, in other words, on how tourism is being constructed by different kinds of speeches prepared by different actors.The main working hypothesis is that the discursive production of tourism is not simple communication, but a process of persuasion as it has been used intentionally by powerful social actors who wish to legitimize their own interests in the name of what they call tourism.Therefore, such production is not a neutral activity, but an instrument of a power play: tourism is one of the most finished devices already developed for capitalist subjectivity.The object of analysis of this thesis is the 'legitimating discursive production of tourism'.The methodology of this study is the Critical Analysis of Discourses.The thesis is divided into six chapters.At the end, in the form of final remarks, propose new critical studies to tourism.
