A presente pesquisa investiga o movimento de gravura moderna japonesa Shin-hanga, que se iniciou na Era Meiji (1868 1912) e foi desenvolvido nas duas eras subsequentes, Taish (1912 1926) e Shwa (1926 1989), em um momento em que o Japão passava por um processo de ocidentalização. Tal contexto histórico é explicado no primeiro capítulo, o qual nos ajuda a entender o desenvolvimento do Shin-hanga e suas relações com o mundo e a arte ocidental, principalmente a europeia. O movimento em si é explicado no segundo capítulo: o seu início, o desenvolvimento e os principais artistas. A paisagem, ou as vistas de lugares, foi o tema escolhido para a análise das imagens. Como exemplo do movimento, destacou-se o artista Hiroshi Yoshida (1876 1950), o qual teve muitas oportunidades para viajar para fora do Japão, tendo a vivência no Ocidente e no Oriente. Yoshida fez pinturas e xilogravuras e utilizou a técnica tradicional japonesa em sua produção, mas também incorporou conceitos ocidentais no estudo de luz, por exemplo. Suas obras foram estudadas estabelecendo comparações com as estampas Ukiyo-e e algumas pinturas impressionistas europeias. / The present research investigates the modern Japanese print movement Shin-hanga, which began in the Meiji Era (1868 1912) and was developed in the two subsequent eras, Taish (1912 1926) and Shwa (1926 1989), at a time when Japan underwent a process of westernization. Such a context is explained in the first chapter, which helps us understand the development of Shin-hanga and his relations with the world and Western art, mainly European. The movement itself is explained in the second chapter: its beginning, development and the leading artists. The landscape, or the views of places was the theme chosen for the analysis of the images. As an example of the movement, the highlight is on the artist Hiroshi Yoshida (1876 - 1950), who had many opportunities to travel outside Japan, having experience in the West and East. Yoshida made paintings and prints and used the traditional Japanese technique in his production, but also incorporated Western concepts in the study of light, for example. His works were studied alongside Ukiyo-e prints and some Impressionist paintings by European artists.

Este trabalho tem o objetivo de observar as alterações da Doutrina Yoshida como norteadora do posicionamento internacional do Japão no início do século XXI. Para isso, abordaremos a relevância que o Leste Asiático tem para a delimitação das ameaças e como a lógica regional influencia diretamente a atuação do país, principalmente quanto aos temas de segurança. Utilizar-se-á a teoria dos complexos regionais de segurança para compreender a forma de inserção internacional do Japão, bem como embasar o aspecto de instabilidade que levaram às alterações da Doutrina Yoshida. Dentre as principais ameaças ao país, destacamos a relação sino-japonesa e as disputas nas gray zones, bem como a nuclearização norte-coreana. A aliança com os EUA e outros países do entorno regional também serão analisadas a fim de corroborar com a atuação internacional do Japão. Abordaremos também como a criação da Estratégia Nacional de Segurança japonesa e o pacifismo proativo complementam os fundamentos da Doutrina Yoshida na manutenção dos interesses nacionais do país perante as crescentes instabilidades do entorno asiático. / This paper aims to observe the changes of the Yoshida Doctrine as the guideline of Japans international performance in the beginning of the 21st century. In order to do it, we will focus on the threats of East Asia region as well as the relevance of the regional logic and how it directly influences the country\'s performance, especially regarding security issues. The theory of regional security complexes is used to understand Japan\'s international insertion, as well as to base the instability aspect that led to the changes in the Yoshida Doctrine. Among the main threats to the country, we highlight the Sino-Japanese relationship and the disputes in the gray zones, besides the North Korean nuclear program. The US alliance, as other regional countries alliances will also be analyzed in order to corroborate with the international performance of Japan. We will also address how the creation of the Japanese National Security Strategy and proactive pacifism complement the fundamentals principles of the Yoshida Doctrine in order to maintain the countrys interests in the growing instability of the Asian environment.

Ein nichtparametrisches Schätzverfahren für die quadratische Kovariation von hochfrequent nicht-synchron beobachteter Itô-Prozessen mit einem additiven Rauschen wird entwickelt. Für eine artverwandte Folge von statistischen Experimenten wird die lokal asymptotische Normalität (LAN) im Sinne von Le Cam bewiesen. Mit dieser lassen sich optimale Konvergenzraten und Effizienzschranken für asymptotische Varianzen ableiten. Der vorgestellte Schätzer wird auf Grundlage von zwei modernen Verfahren, für die Anwendung bei nicht-synchronen Beobachtungen zum einen, und einem additiven Rauschen zum anderen, entwickelt. Der Hayashi-Yoshida Schätzer wird in einer neuen Darstellung eingeführt, welche einen Synchronisierungsalgorithmus mit einschließt, der für die kombinierte Methode ausgelegt werden kann. Es wird eine stabiles zentrales Grenzwerttheorem bewiesen, wobei spezieller Wert auf die Analyse des Einflusses der Nicht-Synchronität auf die asymptotische Varianz gelegt wird. Nach diesen Vorbereitungen wird das kombinierte Schätzverfahren für den allgemeinsten Fall nicht-synchroner verrauschter Beobachtungen vorgestellt. Dieses beruht auf Subsampling- und Multiskalenmethoden, die auf Mykland, Zhang und Aït-Sahalia zurück gehen. Es vereint positive Eigenschaften der beiden Ursprünge. Das zentrale Resultat dieser Arbeit ist der Beweis, dass der Schätzfehler stabil in Verteilung gegen eine gemischte Normalverteilung konvergiert. Für die asymptotische Varianz wird ein konsistenter Schätzer angegeben. In einer Anwendungsstudie wird eine praktische Implementierung des Schätzverfahrens, die die Wahl von abhängigen Parametern beinhaltet, getestet und auf ihre Eigenschaften im Falle endlicher Stichprobenumfänge untersucht. Neuen fortgeschrittenen Entwicklungen auf dem Forschungsfeld von Seite anderer Autoren wird Rechnung getragen durch Vergleiche und diesbezügliche Kommentare. / A nonparametric estimation approach for the quadratic covariation of Itô processes from high-frequency observations with an additive noise is developed. It is proved that a closely related sequence of statistical experiments is locally asymptotically normal (LAN) in the Le Cam sense. By virtue of this property optimal convergence rates and efficiency bounds for asymptotic variances of estimators can be concluded. The proposed nonparametric estimator is founded on a combination of two modern estimation methods devoted to an additive observation noise on the one hand and asynchronous observation schemes on the other hand. We reinvent this Hayashi-Yoshida estimator in a new illustration that can serve as a synchronization method which is possible to adapt for the combined approach. A stable central limit theorem is proved focusing especially on the impact of non-synchronicity on the asymptotic variance. With this preparations on hand, the generalized multiscale estimator for the noisy and asynchronous setting arises. This convenient method for the general model is based on subsampling and multiscale estimation techniques that have been established by Mykland, Zhang and Aït-Sahalia. It preserves valuable features of the synchronization methodology and the estimators to cope with noise perturbation. The central result of the thesis is that the estimation error of the generalized multiscale estimator converges with optimal rate stably in law to a centred mixed normal limiting distribution on fairly general regularity assumptions. For the asymptotic variance a consistent estimator based on time transformed histograms is given making the central limit theorem feasible. In an application study a practicable estimation algorithm including a choice of tuning parameters is tested for its features and finite sample size behaviour. We take account of recent advances on the research field by other authors in comparisons and notes.

戰後日本對華政策之研究（一九四九∼一九九七） 　　本論文之研究方法 主要係利用傳統的歷史研究方法為主，採直敘的方式，在戰後各時期日本所面對的國際政治局勢與外交政策中，依序選擇重點作經驗性的探討與分析。而由於在人文社會科學的研究中，任何假設與立論的基礎便是材料。故在研究方法上，筆者採「非實驗性的方法」中之文件分析法。 是故，本研究基本上屬於「描述性研究」，筆者乃以日本的「中國政策」為對象，對戰後以來各個時期之對華政策形成，尋求精確的描述與解釋。再者，於研究途徑的選擇方面，本研究係採「系統理論」作為主要的研究分析途徑。基於此，在研究架構上，筆者將針對戰後日本之「中國政策」選擇重點，依序進行經驗性的探討，詳細敘述戰後以來日本各內閣的成立，與每一任內閣所面對的國內、外環境及在內外環境交互作用下，日本政府如何在其「中國政策」中作出反應，並希望在其間發現日本對華政策之特質。 此外，在日本研究中，政治文化的因素亦為研究者所重視，因此，筆者在研究中，亦自政治文化的分析角度切入，具體地分析日本的諸多文化現象對其「中國政策」的影響。 / The Research on Japan's China Policy after the World War II The research method used in this dissertation is mainly based on the traditionalhistorical research method. Some of the improtant statements on the internationalpolitical status and diplomatic policies, which Japan weere facing after the world War II, have been selected on a time basis. The selected statements are studied andanalyzed experientially. When doing the human and social science studies, the foundation of hypothesis can be considered as the researching material itself. Therefore, the descriptive study used in the non-experimental method is adapted as the research method in this dissertation. The research presented in this dissertation is a descriptive study. Japan'sChina policy are the research subjects. The forming of Japan's post-war Chinapolicy at different stages is studeied in depths, hoping to seek for explanationsfrom the detailed statements given in the disseration. Regarding to the theory of research, system theory is adapted as main researchingand analyzing basis in this dissertation. The research framework is based on some of important Japan's post-war China policy. Detailed descriptions on the formation of Japanese cabinets after the War are given. Also, how the Japanesegovernment reacted on her China policy. when facing the interactions between Japanese domestic and international situations, are sequentially and experientially studied. This is aimed at finding the characteristics of Japan's China policy. Besides, in the studied of Japan researchers have been considering the elementsof political culture. In this dissertation, therefore, analyses are done, from the viewpoint of political culture, on some of Japanese cultures' impacts uponher China policy.

This thesis examines the foreign policy evolution of Japan from the time of its modernization during the mid-nineteenth century though the present. It is argued that infringements upon Japanese sovereignty and geopolitical vulnerabilities have conditioned Japanese leaders towards power seeking policy objectives. The core variables of statehood, namely power and sovereignty, and the perception of state elites are traced over this broad time period to provide a historical foundation for framing contemporary analyses of Japanese foreign policy. To facilitate this research, a unique framework that accounts for both the foreign policy preferences of Japanese leaders and the external constraints of the international system is developed. Neoclassical realist understandings of self-help and relative power distributions form the basis of the presented analysis, while constructivism offers crucial insights into ideational factors that influence state elites. Social Identity Theory, a social psychology theory that examines group behavior, is integrated to conceptualize the available policy options. Surveying Japanese foreign policy through this framework clarifies the seemingly irreconcilable shifts in Japan's foreign policy history and clearly delineates between political groups that embody distinct policy strategies and norms. Consequently, the main contribution of this thesis lies in the development of a theoretical framework that is uniquely positioned to identify historical trends in foreign policy. Owing to the numerous shifts in modern Japan's foreign policy history, this research identifies and examines three distinguishable Japanese “states”: Meiji Japan (1868 - 1912), Imperial Japan (1912 - 1945), and postwar Japan (1945 - present).

L'œuvre principalement photographique de Kimiko Yoshida (née le 23 juin 1963 au Japon et installée en France depuis 1995) se fonde sur la création de « mythes» à travers ses autoportraits. Les « mythes du Photographe» à l'origine des « fonctions» de son œuvre - visant entre autres à « informer, représenter, surprendre, faire signifier, donner envie» selon Roland Barthes dans La chambre claire - trouvent leurs sources dans la société, la culture, l'époque auxquelles l'artiste appartient et par conséquent également dans ce qui touche à la singularité de la personnalité, du vécu, de l'histoire à l'échelle intime de celui-ci. De fait, le titre général de cette étude énonce une quête des « mythes personnels et pluriels dans l'œuvre de Kimiko Yoshida », dont le thème de « rentre-deux» constitue la posture esthétique majeure, l'artiste et son œuvre se trouvant entre Japon et Occident, entre figuration et abstraction, entre réalité et fiction, entre citation et transgression. Ce discours fictionnel par l'image et dans l'image subit différentes métamorphoses qui forment les quatre axes fondateurs de la thèse, à savoir l'entre-deux particulier du « personnage conceptuel» défini par Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari dans Qu'est-ce que la philosophie / appliqué à la « signature» Kimiko Yoshida : l'étude d'un entre-deux géographique et culturel définissant un « syncrétisme» artistique singulier: les illustrations des différentes dimensions spatio-temporelles perceptibles dans l ' œuvre de Kimiko Yoshida, notamment à travers les (enjeux des couleurs des images : et l'interrogation concernant la place du sujet à l'image, entre trace et absence. / The work of Kimiko Yoshida (born on June 23rd, 1963, in Japan and living in France since 1995), mainly based on photography, is founded on the creation of « myths ». This study is about searching, defining and analysing the « functions » of Kimiko Yoshida's self-portraits. The « myths of the Photographer », at the origins of her work's functions - aiming. amongst others, to « inform, represent, surprise, signify, create desire» according to Roland Barthes' Camera Lucida - are rooted in the society, the culture and the time the artist belongs to, and as a consequence also in the singularity of his/her personality, experience, and intimate story. Thus, the general title of this study brings forwards a research of « personal and plural myths in Kimiko Yoshida's work of art», whose topic of the « in-between » is the main aesthetic position, the artist and her work situated between Japan and the West between representation and abstraction, between reality and fiction, between quotation and transgression. The fictional speech through and in the image undergoes several transformations which make up the four founding lines of this thesis, that is to say the distinctive in-between of the « conceptual character » defined by Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in Whut is Philosophy ) applied to Kirniko Yoshida's name : the study of a geographical and cultural in-between defining a singular artistic « syncretism » : the illustrations of the several perceptible space-time dimensions in Kimiko Yoshida's work, notably through the games/aims of the images' colours : and the questioning about the subject in the image, between trace and absence.
