Portes ouvertes sur le monde, les ports sont au centre des échanges commerciaux des Etats et constituent un atout non négligeable dans le commerce extérieur de ceux-ci. Les différentes lois et réformes portuaires ont amené le législateur français et les acteurs portuaires à recentrer les missions de chacun au sein de la place portuaire afin que nos ports réussissent le défi de la concurrence imposée par nos voisins du Bénélux notamment, et répondent également aux contraintes environnementales que l'Europe imposent aux ports. En france, les ports ont toujours étaient considérés comme des services publics avec une dualité qui se traduisait par un service administratif pour les missions régaliennes et un service industriel et commercial pour les missions plus commerciales telles que l'outillage. La vision française du service public portuaire apparaît dès lors dépassée et la France doit s'adapter à une harmonisation de la gestion de ses ports aux normes européennes. La réforme de 2008 a transféré l'outillage à des entreprises privées, permettant aux ports de se réorganiser autour de l'aménagement et la gestion. Il convient de considérer le port comme au centre de la chaîne des transports commerciaux et une gestion intégrée de ces derniers apparaît nécessaire, impliquant un développement de nos ports côté terre, avec des dessertes terrestres, fluviales et ferroviaires qui seront une réponse à la concurrence. La multimodalité des ports est un axe de travail que la France doit mettre en place et est en cours de construction, avec une prise en compte de l'environnement au coeur de chaque projet. La France dispose d'une grande façade littorale jusqu'ici peu ou mal exploitée. La politique portuaire commence à devenir une des priorités des dirigeants nationaux et permettra à la France de (re)trouver sa vocation maritime jusqu'ici trop longtemps ignorée.

Objective. Today globalization appears not only as an economic, social and political phenomenon, but also as a cultural one. The aim of the article is to analyze the metaphorical aspects of globalization and to clarify different approaches to this phenomenon through the establishment of idea that conceptual metaphors cover the most areas of human experience and have significant cognitive potential.Methods. According to the general purpose of the article we use special scientific methods in researching of the processes as well as phenomena and concepts in their relationships and development. In particular these include descriptive, analytical, comparative typological methods, method of contextual and interpretive analysis of metaphoric field.Results. On the basis of ambiguous and conflicting approaches to the phenomenon of globa¬lization we find the perception of it as the metaphor that shows presence of figurative-metaphoric background not only in philosophical texts, but in the scientific ones as a whole. We define the role of conceptual metaphor in creating of globalization image in the mass consciousness that divides the world into its opponents and supporters. We give proof of globalization metaphor choice to be dependent on positive or negative attitude of people to this process which creates new social typo¬logy changing the previous society concepts. That is why study of metaphoric aspects of various social concepts and phenomena can efficiently affect the linkages between language, culture and society.Scientific novelty. We define the relation between the concepts of «metaphor» and «globa¬lization», besides we make an attempt to analyze metaphoric aspects of globalization.Practical value. The materials of the present research could be used both for further researches of various social processes metaphorization and for the developing and teaching of such subjects as «Rhetoric», «Scientific language culture» as well, besides they could be used in the direct practice of intercultural communication. ; Цель. Глобализация сегодня представляется не только как экономический, социальный, политический, но и культурный феномен. Целью статьи является анализ метафорических аспектов глобализации и выяснение различных подходов к этому явлению через утверждение мысли о том, что концептуальные метафоры охватывают большинство сфер человеческого опыта и имеют значимый когнитивный потенциал.Методика. В соответствии с поставленной целью при написании статьи были использованы общенаучные и специальные методы исследования процессов, явлений и понятий в их взаимосвязи и развитии, в частности: описательный, аналитический, сравнительно-типологический, метод контекстуального и интерпретативного анализа метафорического поля.Результаты. На основании анализа неоднозначных и противоречивых подходов к явлению глобализации выявлено восприятие его как метафоры, что засвидетельствовало наличие образно-метафорического плана не только в философских текстах, но и в целом в научных. Определена роль концептуальной метафоры в формировании в массовом сознании образа глобализации, распределяя мир на сторонников и противников ее. Обоснован вывод о том, что выбор метафоры глобализации предопределен позитивным или негативным отношением человека к этому процессу, который создает новую социальную типологию, которая заменяет предыдущие понятия общества. Поэтому изучение метафорических аспектов разных социальных понятий и явлений может более действенно повлиять на установление связей между языком, культурой и социумом.Научная новизна. Выявлена взаимосвязь между понятиями «метафора» и «глобализация», осуществлена попытка анализа метафорических аспектов глобализации.Практическая значимость. Заключается в том, что материалы исследования могут быть использованы при дальнейших исследованиях метафоризации различных социальных процессов и подготовке и преподавании таких дисциплин как «Риторика», «Культура научной речи», а также в непосредственной практике межкультурной коммуникации. ; Мета. Глобалізація сьогодні постає не лише як економічний, соціальний, політичний, а й культурний феномен. Метою статті є аналіз метафоричних аспектів глобалізації та з'ясування різних підходів до цього явища через утвердження думки про те, що концептуальні метафори охоплюють більшість сфер людського досвіду й мають значущий когнітивний потенціал.Методика. Відповідно до поставленої мети під час написання статті було використано загальнонаукові і спеціальні методи дослідження процесів, явищ і понять в їх взаємозв'язку та розвитку, як-от: описовий, аналітичний, порівняльно-типологічний, метод контекстуального та інтерпретативного аналізу метафоричного поля.Результати. На підставі аналізу неоднозначних і суперечливих підходів до явища глобалізації виявлено сприйняття його як метафори, що засвідчило наявність образно-метафо¬ричного плану не лише у філософських текстах, а й у цілому в наукових. Визначено роль концептуальної метафори у формуванні в масовій свідомості образу глобалізації, розподіляючи світ на прибічників і супротивників її. Обґрунтовано висновок про те, що вибір метафори глобалізації зумовлений позитивним чи негативним ставленням людини до цього процесу, що створює нову соціальну типологію, яка замінює попередні поняття суспільства. Тому вивчення метафоричних аспектів різних соціальних понять і явищ може дієвіше вплинути на встановлення зв'язків між мовою, культурою та соціумом.Наукова новизна. Встановлено взаємозв'язок між поняттями «метафора» та «глобалізація», здійснено спробу аналізу метафоричних аспектів глобалізації.Практична значущість. Полягає в тому, що матеріали дослідження можуть бути використані у процесі подальших досліджень метафоризації різних соціальних процесів і під¬готовці й викладанні таких дисциплін, як «Риторика», «Культура наукової мови», а також у безпосередній практиці міжкультурної комунікації.

"Ideas about matters of public concern are shaped by the spaces associated with them: Events occur in particular places, political regulations apply to specific territories, people in different locations are differentially affected by issues. Yet, political communication research has neglected the question of how the spaces of public issues are constructed in the public sphere. This is especially true for research on social media communication, which is often perceived as placeless. Yet, social media discourses are driven by unequal attention patterns based on users' interests, resources, and abilities. To understand how these patterns manifest spatially, this interdisciplinary monograph builds on public spheres theory, communication infrastructure theory, and urban sociology to develop the framework of issue spatiality. It focuses on how social media users discuss different places in urban policy issue discourses. By applying the framework to four large-scale Twitter discourses on housing markets and cycling infrastructure in two German cities, Berlin and Frankfurt, the research reveals the spatial patterns and inequalities of social media discourses. It demonstrates that digital discourses are overwhelmingly focused on a small number of places in the urban center. These places emerge as the locus of activism and political controversy, while the urban periphery remains hidden or is discussed in purely administrative terms. Places with dense civic infrastructure and privileged residents receive disproportionate attention. The book provides an in-depth look at the ways in which socio-spatial inequalities are inscribed in public communication and shape ideas about societal issues"--
