This habilitation thesis summarizes several research topics in string theory, using the world-sheet two-dimensional perspective as a unifying theme. The first part of this manuscript describes new solutions of open string tachyon condensation and their physical consequences. In the second part several examples of gauge theory dynamics at strong coupling are probed using brane configurations. The third part is devoted to heterotic compactifications with flux and their symmetries. Finally, the last part covers aspects of the quantum geometry of string compactifications.Cette thèse d'habilitation résume des travaux de recherche en théorie des cordes ayant pour fil conducteur l'approche bidimensionnelle de la feuille d'univers.
