We are now living a new era of development of nuclear sciences
thanks to the discovery of exotic or unstable nuclei. The Odyssey
to reach the limits of stability is pushing nuclear sciences to
unexpected discoveries and to a redefinition of its scope and
methods. This is a step-by-step revolution that is both
experimentally and theoretically a scientific challenge and an
exciting cultural progress. The description of unstable systems
requires a reconsideration of the role of the continuum that
increases its importance near the drip-lines. Typically by moving
from the valley of stability outward, the bound excited states of
the stable nucleus are shifted to the continuum, forming low-lying
resonances. The coupling to these states becomes of fundamental
importance for the description of nuclear reactions. At the same
time the coupling to non-resonant continuum states becomes more
relevant. The 'file rouge' of the present thesis is to link
different aspects of the complexity of the continuum spectrum in
nuclear structure and nuclear reactions involving both stable and
unstable nuclei either as tools or as subject of our study.
