Abstract

This paper examines the literary materialization of Keiichiro Hirano's dividualism. Hirano introduces the concept of dividual that is smaller than an indivisible individual, attempts to dismantle the concept of ‘true self’ advocates the humanism that several selves exist in a person depending on the opposing person, and asks the nature of the identity buried in the unit of individual. In Nudes Without Faces, it is an evolved element that seeks the identity of ‘true self’ in the space of the Internet and creates an other person of itself through the anonymity and facelessness. In Dawn, the structure of dividualism is specified by introducing a unit called dividu al that corresponds to an individual. It contains realistic and philosophical predictions and anguish on the plains to seek ‘how to live’ as an alternati ve to love and hope in a society where violence is prevalent, combined wi th facial recognition system. In A Man, it faces the question of ‘what defines humans’ from the perspective of humanism, drawing human desire for identity, love, and acceptance of death from the perspective of humani sm and philosophical topics about the ambiguity of identity. After all, Hir ano`s dividualism is seen as an attempt to overcome and compromise the interruption of communication through interaction with others to achieve convergence and solidarity.
