Análise do discurso sobre o mercado de trabalho em turismo e empregabilidade segundo a visão do departamento de turismo de uma instituição de ensino superior do Brasil

The objective of this study is to analyze the discourse on the Labour Market in Tourism and Employability according to the Department of Tourism vision of a higher education institution in Brazil. The assumption here is that by means of this device would be possible to observe the gaps in the tourism high education, which are reflected in the characterization of this professional. Therefore, the review of the literature was resorted to vocational training and work in tourism market, in a selectively and non-exahaustive basis, focusing this discussion on the Brazilian scenario. Methodologically, it sought the assistance provided by Discourse Analysis (DA) as a method of research (main guiding design) and as technique (specific set of procedures) for the delimitation of a theoretical corpus on the subject, listed from a cut made in the linguistic material collected by interviews with all the faculty of tourism of the high education institution (IHE) in the state of Minas Gerais. Specifically, it was used the four discursive categories developed by Faria and Linhares (1993) - lexical selection, mobilization of discursive characters, relationship between implicit and explicit content and silencing - to observe the prevailing view in the discourse of this community about the professional training and the labor market in tourism. As a result, it is found that a lack of definition and a fragmentation in relation to their own conception of what is tourism, which is reflected in the attitudes of these professionals tend to face the phenomenon and its relation to praxis. In addition, one can observe the enphasis in mobilizing the discursive character "students" to whom the responsibility for success is transferred or not in terms of their employability. It is concluded, therefore, that the analysis undertaken has allowed us to show the world view that underpins the design of those who play a key role in the (re)production of this field. This conception, still fragmented and multifaceted, has direct repercussions on training and conceptions assimilated by students, although it is implicitly positioned as neutral or subject to the action of the subject. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o discurso sobre o Mercado de Trabalho em Turismo e Empregabilidade segundo a visão do Departamento de Turismo de uma Instituição de Ensino Superior do Brasil. A suposição aqui é a de que por meio deste dispositivo seria possível observar as lacunas existentes na formação superior e
