This study examined Yu Miri’s works to examine deviation as the expression of her dual perceptions of “family”, movement to “nation” through name searching, and the progress of writing for the maintenance of “self” exploration. In her , , and , the writer describes the family issues, which make the most sensitive responses in the rapidly changing times, and the solitary individuals in society and interpersonal relationships with “deviant” actions. In , she conveys her re-perception of “nation” through “name searching” and thus obtains universality as the literature of Korean residents in Japan. Undergoing changes to her creative world, she makes diverse
attempts at writing and continues her “self” explorations. Lying in all those is her consciousness as a writer to expand her field to include “nation” based on her affection of “family” and search for her identity endlessly. In her literature, she encompasses both “family” and “nation” and deals
with individuals issues more deeply. Groping of identity through a movement from “family” to “nation” makes one think over the issue of “identity” inherent in the literature of Korean residents in Japan once again.
