Cette thèse s’inscrit dans la perspective d’un diagnostic stratégique du secteur de Transport Routier Interurbain des Voyageurs (TRIV) en Afrique de l’Ouest (Cas du Burkina Faso, du Mali et du Niger).L’organisation du transport et le fonctionnement des entreprises dudit secteur à l’aune de la mondialisation et de la modernisation laissent encore à désirer. Nombreuses sont les difficultés recensées à divers niveaux du système entravant ainsi le développement économique du secteur.Pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest, de nombreuses études et recherches ont déjà été réalisées sur le système de transport urbain et sur le transport des marchandises avec diagnostics et préconisations . Cependant le sous-secteur du TRIV a aussi son importance et il convient de le prendre en compte dans le schéma d’intégration sous régionale en Afrique. Notre recherche démontre que l’analyse du TRIV ne doit pas se limiter à ses aspects réglementaires et institutionnels et qu’elle doit intégrer les entreprises comme éléments clés du développement du secteur. Celles-ci sont désormais confrontées au défi de la concurrence sur les marchés tant intérieurs que sous-régionaux du transport des voyageurs. La modernisation du secteur et son développement ultérieur impliquent des adaptations des entreprises artisanales, des changements dans l’organisation et les conditions de fonctionnement de cette activité.Notre démarche aborde dans un premier temps, la configuration actuelle du marché de TRIV. L’analyse met en évidence l’indispensable complémentarité de l’offre des sociétés de transport et des artisans transporteurs. A partir de ce constat, des modèles de stratégies potentielles sont élaborés pour les entreprises contraintes à la compétitivité.Cependant, compte tenu de l’organisation du marché de TRIV au Niger, de la multiplicité des entreprises et de l’absence des données, nous avons défini des groupes contrastés d’entreprises, le regroupement se faisant à partir des caractéristiques techniques, organisationnelles (types de véhicules utilisés, organisation des services) et géographique (lignes desservies).Cette approche nous a permis de mettre en lumière les spécificités des maillons du marché mais aussi les grands déséquilibres existants en matière de desserte dans les principales zones. A travers les modèles de stratégies développés, notre ambition est de donner un cadre de référence aux entreprises à partir duquel et compte tenu de leurs ressources internes, elles organiseront leur stratégie. Ces entreprises devraient pouvoir y parvenir dans le cadre d’une politique publique des transports prenant en compte les attentes des principaux acteurs. / This thesis is registered in the perspective of a strategic diagnosis of the Transport sector Intercity Road of travellers (TRIV) in West Africa (case of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger). The transport organization and the functioning of enterprises of the sector to the yardstick of globalization and the modernization is still inadequate. There are many difficulties identified at various levels of the system thus hindering the economic development of the sector. For West Africa, many studies and research have already been carried out on the system of urban transport and on the transport of goods with diagnostics and recommendations . However, the sub-sector of TRIV also has its importance and it should be taken into account in the schema of sub-regional integration in Africa. Our research shows that the analysis of TRIV must not be limited to its aspects regulatory and institutional and that it must integrate the companies as the key elements of the development of the sector. These are now faced the challenge of competition on the markets both the domestic that sub-regional passenger transport. The modernization of the sector and its subsequent development involve adjustments of craft businesses, changes in the organization and the conditions of operation of this activity. Our approach addresses in the first time, the current configuration of the market of TRIV The analysis highlights the indispensable complementarity of the offer of transport companies and craftsmen carriers. From this finding, models of potential strategies are developed for firms forced to competitiveness. However, in light of the organization of the market of TRIV in Niger, of the multiplicity of enterprises and absence of data, we defined groups contrasting of enterprises, the consolidation at from the technical characteristics, organizational (types of vehicles used, organization of the services) and the geographical (lines served). This approach has allowed us to highlight the specificities of links in the market but also the major imbalances existing in the field of service in the main areas. Through the models of strategies developed, our ambition is to give a reference framework for companies from which and taking into account their internal resources, they organize their strategy. These companies should be able to achieve in the framework of a public policy of transport taking into account the expectations of key actors.

Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo realizar uma investigação das diferenças de orientações culturais entre o Brasil e os Estados Unidos a partir da análise de um corpus de resenhas de viajantes e aplicar esses resultados em uma proposta de tradução funcionalista na área do turismo. Cultura, neste trabalho, é entendida como sistema compartilhado para a interpretação da realidade e organização da experiência (Katan, 2004: 26), noção relacionada às orientações culturais ou tendências que as culturas desenvolvem para determinados padrões de percepção da realidade. Adotamos o referencial teórico de três áreas: Estudos Interculturais para a eleição do modelo de orientações culturais que norteia a análise (Hall, 1977; Hofstede, 2001; Trompenaars e Hampden-Turner, 2012; Walker et al. 2003); Linguística de Corpus e sua perspectiva da linguagem como sistema probabilístico (Sinclair, 1991); Teoria Funcionalista da Tradução (Vermeer, 1989) e seu enfoque na função comunicativa do texto final como o fio condutor das estratégias tradutórias. O corpus de estudo é composto por resenhas de hotéis extraídas do site TripAdvisor, escritas em inglês por americanos e em português por brasileiros. Foram compiladas 15 mil resenhas, totalizando 2.160.333 palavras, divididas em dois subcorpora em cada idioma: resenhas de americanos sobre hotéis nos EUA e sobre hotéis no Brasil; resenhas de brasileiros sobre hotéis nos EUA e sobre hotéis no Brasil. Esse corpus foi explorado com o auxílio do software WordSmith Tools 7 (Scott, 2016). No total, foram apresentadas nove análises, com base nas palavras-chave das cinco categorias semânticas estabelecidas: VALOR/JULGAMENTO Brazilian (standards) e star; ATENDIMENTO staff e complain; ESTADIA experience e disappointing; ESTRUTURA FÍSICA room e lobby; COMODIDADES breakfast. A cultura americana foi caracterizada pelas orientações à comunicação low context, ao individualismo, ao pensamento indutivolinear e ao universalismo. Dentre outras características, observou-se uma alta expectativa de que a estrutura física e os serviços prestados pelo hotel sejam consistentes e compatíveis com o padrão da rede e categoria de estrelas. A cultura brasileira demonstrou tendência às orientações à comunicação high context, ao coletivismo, ao pensamento dedutivo-sistêmico e ao particularismo. Como consequência, as resenhas dos brasileiros demonstram ser mais pautadas em descrições gerais e impressões pessoais do que em critérios concretos e objetivos. Esses e outros achados embasaram a proposta de tradução funcionalista (português > inglês) de um site de hotel, demonstrando que o conhecimento sobre as orientações culturais, quando aplicado à tradução no âmbito do turismo, permite que se produza um texto final alinhado à sua função informativa e persuasiva. / The aim of this research is to carry out a cross-cultural corpus-based analysis of Brazilian and American travelers reviews, interpreting results within the theoretical frame of cultural orientations. We then apply the findings to a functionalist translation of a tourism text. Culture is defined as a \"shared system for interpreting reality and organizing experience\" (Katan, 2004: 26), which is closely related to the concept of cultural orientations or tendencies that cultures develop towards certain patterns of perception. This research draws on the principles of three major areas: Intercultural Studies for selecting the cultural orientations model that underpins the analysis (Hall, 1977; Hofstede, 2001; Trompenaars & Hampden-Turner, 2012; Walker et al., 2003); Corpus Linguistics and its perspective of language as a probabilistic system (Sinclair, 1991); and the Skopos Theory of Translation (Vermeer, 1989) that sees the communicative function of the target text as the guiding principle behind translation strategies. The study corpus is comprised of TripAdvisor hotel reviews written in English by American travelers and in Portuguese by Brazilian travelers. A total of 15,000 reviews and 2,160,333 words were compiled, divided into two subcorpora in each language: American reviews of hotels in the USA and hotels in Brazil; Brazilian reviews of hotels in the USA and hotels in Brazil. This corpus was explored with the aid of WordSmith Tools 7 (Scott, 2016). A total of nine analyses were presented, based on keywords from five semantic categories: VALUE/JUDGMENT - \'Brazilian (standards)\' and \'star\'; SERVICE - \'staff\' and \'complain\'; STAY - \'experience\' and \'disappointing\'; PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES - \'room\' and \'lobby\'; AMENITIES - \'breakfast\'. Americans displayed a low-context orientation to communication, linear-inductive orientation to thinking as well as individualism and universalistic orientations. As a consequence, Americans showed high expectation for consistency and compatibility among hotel physical attributes, services provided and hotel chain or star rating. Brazilians exhibited cultural orientations towards high-context communication, deductive-systemic thinking, particularism and collectivism. Among other characteristics, Brazilian reviews proved to be mostly based on general descriptions and personal impressions rather than concrete and objective criteria. These and other findings created the basis for our functionalist approach to a translation (Portuguese > English) of a hotel website, thus showing that an understanding of cultural orientations plays a role in tourism translation, helping ensure the target tourism text reaches its informative and persuasive functions.

Notre recherche entend déterminer les éléments constitutifs de la photographie de ruines au XIXe siècle pour tenter de définir ce modèle de représentation de la trace archéologique. Cette étude s'attache à comprendre comment les sites archéologiques de la Méditerranée ont été reproduits à travers une photographie d'archéologie dont les règles scientifiques ne sont pas encore fixées au XIXe siècle. Pour conduire cette recherche, nous nous sommes proposés d'appliquer une méthode comparative, en analysant la production réalisée par les photographes dans deux contextes géographiques et géopolitiques différents, dans le cadre de fouilles, de voyages personnels ou de voyages d'explorations archéologiques. Compte tenu de critères historiques et socio-culturels pertinents, nous avons sélectionné deux pays des deux bords méditerranéens, l'Italie et Algérie. Deux destinations scientifiques mais aussi touristiques propices à la découverte physique de l'expérience archéologique pour les photographes de la période étudiée, et ce du simple fait de la richesse et de la diversité de leur patrimoine archéologique. Deux destinations qui ont également connu une histoire de l'archéologie, et un développement des fouilles distincts sur bien des aspects. À partir d'un corpus relativement important, la démarche comparatiste que nous avons choisie d'appliquer nous a permis d'observer, de décrire et de comprendre la manière dont les photographes ont contribué à la structuration et à la circulation des imaginaires relatifs aux sites archéologiques entre l'Europe (en particulier l'Italie) et l'Afrique Nord (l'Algérie) au XIXe siècle. Aussi, par l'intermédiaire d'un protocole bien défini , et d'une sélection de corpus (principalement centrée sur la production des photographes français), nous avons pu souligner un ensemble de systèmes de représentations de la ruine lié à un imaginaire commun des pays Méditerranéens. / Our thesis wishes to determine the components of the photography of ruins in the 19th century and to try to define this model of representation of the archaeological trace. This study aims to understand how the archaeological sites of the Mediterranean sites have been reproduced through a photograph of archeology whose scientific rules are not yet predefined in the nineteenth century. In order to produce this research, we propose to apply a comparative method, analyzing the production produced by photographers in two different geographical and geopolitical contexts, in the context of excavations, persona) travels or archaeological explorations. Taking into account relevant historical and socio-cultural criteria, we selected two countries on the two Mediterranean shores, Italy and Algeria. Two scientific but also tourist destinations conducive for the physical discovery of the archaeological experience for photographers of the period studied, simply because of richness and diversity of their archaeological heritage. Two destinations that also experienced a history of archeology, and a history of their separate excavations on many aspects. Based on a relatively large corpus, the comparative approach we have chosen to apply has enabled us to observe, describe and understand the way in which photographers have contributed to the structuring and circulation of the imaginary Archaeological sites between Europe (especially Italy) and North Africa (Algeria) in the nineteenth century. Thus, by means of an established protocol and a selection of corpus (mainly centered on the production of French photographers), we have been able to highlight a set of systems of representations of the ruin linked to a common imaginary of the countries Mediterranean countries.

Ce travail se propose de définir la représentation de la Grèce chez dix voyageurs français qui visitent le pays entre 1947, fin de la guerre civile grecque, et 1967, début de la dictature des Colonels. Le corpus est constitué des écrivains suivants : Jacques Lacarrière, Robert Levesque, Jean Cau, Jean Cocteau, Roger Milliex, Michel Butor, André Malraux, Michel Déon, Jacques Chardonne et Thierry Maulnier. Tous partent avec une solide culture classique et une image stéréotypée de la Grèce, qu’ils ont à confronter avec la réalité. Les traces des guerres, des guerres balkaniques aux guerres civiles, sont très visibles, notamment dans les villes et la misère de la population est très sensible. Pourtant, les voyageurs français sont tous à la recherche des stéréotypes véhiculés en Europe. S’ils ne sont pas déçus par les paysages grecs, ils ont de la peine à retrouver les Grecs dans les Grecs. Ils se font l’écho des théories élaborées ou reprises au XIXème siècle, selon lesquelles les Grecs n’ont plus rien de commun avec les Grecs de l’Antiquité ou qu’ils sont dégénérés. Pourtant chacun fait des efforts parfois vains, pour trouver une continuité dans la Grèce, en confrontant types humains contemporains, moeurs et coutumes, voire langue, aux réalités correspondantes antiques. L’élément religieux, dont ils n’ignorent pas qu’il constitue une rupture, est analysé en terme de syncrétisme, ou clairement rattaché à Byzance, considérée comme une étape de l’histoire de la Grèce. Mais il ressort de l’ensemble des textes, plus ou moins explicitement, que les véritables héritiers de la Grèce antique sont les Européens, auprès desquels les Grecs peuvent réapprendre à être ce qu’ils étaient autrefois. / The present research work suggests to delineate Greece through the delicacy of ten French travelers who visit the country between 1947, the end of the Greek civil war, and 1967, the beginning of the military dictatorship. The corpus comprises the undermentioned authors: Jacques Lacarrière, Robert Levesque, Jean Cau, Jean Cocteau, Roger Milliex, Michel Butor, André Malraux, Michel Déon, Jacques Chardonne et Thierry Maulnier. All of them set out accompanied with a solid classical culture and a conventional concept of Greece, which requires the contrast with the « real world ». The traces of the warfare, from the Balkan wars to the civil wars, are evident, notably in the towns where the population is visibly poverty-stricken. Nevertheless, the French travelers are searching for the European conveyed stereotypes. Although they are not disappointed by the Greek landscape, they hardly recognize the Greek people. They echo the 19th century elaborate or resumed theories according to which the Greeks have nothing in common any more with the Ancient Greeks or rather they have degenerated. However, each one of them endeavors vainly at times to find continuity with Greece by comparing contemporary human types, modus vivendi and customs even the language, with corresponding ancient situations. The religious element, of which they are conscious that it constitutes a splitting component, is analyzed in terms of syncretism, or it is intelligibly associated with Byzantium and considered to be an important stage in the history of Greece. All the same, it stands out from the entire written work of art, more or less explicitly, that the real inheritors of Ancient Greece are the Europeans, to the side of whom, the Greeks can learn anew how to become the people they used to be.

ARTISTAS ENTRE VIAGENS, OLHARES E TEMPOS: ARTE E CIÊNCIA NA EXPEDIÇÃO LANGSDORFF - SÉCULOS XIX E XX results from the study of a curatorial project in contemporary art ( O Brasil de hoje no espelho do século XIX Artistas alemães e brasileiros refazem a expedição Langsdorff , 1995, Dieter Strauss e Alfons Hug). This work, with a bibliographical study in Art History, History and Sociology of the Travel presents visualities readers of artworks produced by the artists of 19th and 20th centuries. The explorers / traveling artists like Rugendas, Taunay and Florence, in a context of The Langsdorff Expedition (1822-1829), and the contemporary artists Carlos Vergara, José Fujocka, Olaf Nicolai and Anatoli Juravlev, all they, development the relationship between Art and Science. The Langsdorff Expedition (1822-1829) between two ways of look, the landscape and the naturalistic view, including the representational notion of the Nature, produces a pattern of iconographic representation (scientific and documental). For this study, the travelers story in a scientific mission (Rugendas, Taunay, Florence) and their relationships with the historical and natural environmental includes and meets biographical elements and iconographic analysis and stylistic, technical and formal analysis. The representational and conceptual changes between 19th and 20th centuries are the background for the analyses artists works. This works are described and analyzed, in the project context, including the expedition and the artistic trajectory and production. In our time, Brazilians (José Fujocka and Carlos Vergara) and foreigns artists (Michael Fahres, Olaf Nicolai, Anatoli Juravlev) restores for the present The Langsdorff Expedition with multiples points of view, representations and languages with a intention to propose questions and problems to our own world. Key-words: Art History, travelers artists, Art and Science, Langsdorff Expedition. / A pesquisa CAMINHOS CRUZADOS. ARTISTAS ENTRE VIAGENS, OLHARES E TEMPOS: ARTE E CIÊNCIA NA EXPEDIÇÃO LANGSDORFF - SÉCULOS XIX E XX é resultado do estudo de um projeto curatorial em arte contemporânea ( O Brasil de hoje no espelho do século XIX Artistas alemães e brasileiros refazem a expedição Langsdorff , 1995, Dieter Strauss e Alfons Hug). Com base numa revisão bibliográfica centrada na história da arte, na história e na sociologia das viagens, apresentamos nesse trabalho algumas leituras das visualidades produzidas no século XIX por Rugendas, Adrien Taunay e Hércules Florence, e no século XX pelos brasileiros Carlos Vergara, José Fujocka, pelo alemão Olaf Nicolai e pelo russo Anatoli Juravlev, procurando traçar as interfaces entre arte e ciência. Rugendas, Taunay e Florence participaram da Expedição Langsdorff que percorreu, de 1822 a 1829, o interior do Brasil. Em 1995, o grupo de artistas contemporâneos integrou um projeto cujo objetivo era refazer o trajeto de Langsdorff. Além de investigar as relações entre arte e ciência no século XIX e no século XX, a partir da análise da produção iconográfica desses artistas, estudamos, entre outras questões, os conceitos de representação da natureza presentes nesses dois contextos temporais distintos e o processo de construção dos olhares - o distante e o próximo, o olhar naturalista e o olhar da paisagem. Temos, portanto, a expedição Langsdorff em dois tempos. Em Langsdorff, naturalista, encontramos a busca de uma unificação dos olhares que resulta na tentativa de uma padronização da representação iconográfica, a qual deveria ser de caráter científico documental. Já nos contemporâneos, o que vemos é uma multiplicação dos olhares e das representações, as quais objetivam uma problematização do mundo.

A Organização Mundial da Saúde estima que 3.9 bilhões de pessoas, em 128 países, vivem atualmente em áreas de risco para contrair dengue em todo o mundo, e que anualmente, 390 (284-528) milhões de infecções ocorrem, sendo apenas 96 (67-136) milhões de casos com manifestações clínicas. Estima-se que 500.000 casos de dengue hemorrágica aconteçam por ano, muitos deles em crianças, causando milhares de mortes (Bhatt et al., 2013; WHO, 2015a). A urbanização, a superpopulação, aglomeração, a pobreza, a infra-estrutura de saúde pública enfraquecida, além das mudanças demográficas globais, são fatores que interferem na incidência da dengue e contribuem para a perpetuação e o crescente número de casos da doença (Farmer, 1996; Guzmán and Kouri, 2002). Além destes fatores, as viagens internacionais também implicam no aumento da incidência da dengue, porque o viajante ajuda a introduzir novas estirpes de diferentes partes do mundo ao chegar doente em seu destino, ou ao voltar para casa portando a doença (Wilder-Smith and Schwartz, 2005). O Brasil sediou em 2014 a Copa do Mundo da FIFA e, em 2016, recebeu os Jogos Olímpicos de Verão, no Rio de Janeiro, dois dos maiores eventos esportivos da atualidade, e por isso esperava receber centenas de milhares de turistas em cada um dos eventos. Embora exista uma vacina contra a dengue, sua eficácia não é suficiente para a prevenção ampla, e a curto prazo, da população suscetível e, por estas razões, este trabalho pretende, através da modelagem matemática, estimar o risco de contágio de dengue para turistas não imunes no Brasil no período da Copa do Mundo da FIFA 2014, em cada uma das 12 cidades-sede do evento e também estimar o risco de contágio de dengue para turistas não imunes no Brasil no período dos Jogos Olímpicos Rio 2016. Para a Copa do Mundo da FIFA, o risco obtido variou de 3,61x10-6 no melhor cenário a 8,33x10-4, no pior. Já para os Jogos Olímpicos, o pior risco individual obtido foi igual a 5.84x10-5 (IC 95%: 5.21x10-5 - 6.47x10-5) / The World Health Organization estimates that 3,9 billion people in 128 countries currently live in areas at risk of dengue worldwide, and that 390 (284-528) million infections occur annually, of which 96 (67 -136) million cases with clinical manifestations. It is estimated that 500,000 cases of dengue hemorrhagic occur annually, many of them in children, causing thousands of deaths (Bhatt et al., 2013; WHO, 2015a). Urbanization, overpopulation, agglomeration, poverty, weakened public health infrastructure, and global demographic changes are factors that interfere with the incidence of dengue and contribute to the perpetuation and increasing number of cases of the disease (Farmer, 1996; Guzmán and Kouri, 2002). In addition to these factors, international travel also increase in the incidence of dengue, because an infected traveller may introduce new strains from different parts of the world when they arrive at their destination, or when they return home with the disease (Wilder-Smith and Schwartz, 2005). Brazil hosted the 2014 FIFA World Cup and hosted the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, two of the biggest modern sporting events, and it was predicted that each event would receive hundreds of thousands of tourists in each of events. Although a vaccine against dengue exists, its efficacy is not sufficient for the broad and short-term prevention of the susceptible population. As a result, this work intends, through mathematical modelling, to estimate the risk of contagion of dengue for non-immune tourists in Brazil during the period of 2014 FIFA World Cup in each of the 12 host cities of the event and also estimate the risk of contagion of dengue for non-immune tourists in Brazil during the period of Rio 2016 Olympic Games. During the FIFA World Cup, the risk obtained ranged from 3,61x10-6 in the best scenario up to 8,33x10-4 in the worst case scenario. For the Olympic Games, the worst individual risk was 5.84x10-5 (IC 95%: 5.21x10-5 - 6.47x10-5)
