This article is a study, centered on 『GO』(2000) by Kaneshiro Kazuki which clearly shows the overall life conditions of the Korean-Japanese and actively crumbles such boundary of exceptional life, that carefully considers the reappearances and overcoming possibility of the oppressive boundary of ‘nationality’, ‘name’, ‘physical body’ which consistently runs through the Korean-Japanese literature. First of all, Kaneshiro Kazuki intends to emerge from national exclusivism and the boundary by disturbing and breaking the frame of a nation-state symbolized as ‘nationality’ and actively attempts to discover the new identity as the Korean-Japanese, which suddenly rises from outside the boundary, by insisting the right of the ‘statelessness’ exclusively possessed as a signpost of self-liberation and cognitive overpassing. Secondly, the author expresses the willingness to resist the oppressive binding force the ‘name’ has and to escape from the district of discriminating boundary, by revealing the symbolization of a nation or a group through ‘name’ within the work and by re-defining the meaning of the distorted or consciously broken name. Lastly, the author overthrows the fabrication of the discriminative boundary, so called, ‘body-bloodline-ethnic race’ and disintegrates the point of the layered boundary that binds up the Korean-Japanese, through the idea of the strategic ‘mixed-blood’ which mixes and scatters the boundary. In this way, Kaneshiro Kazuki, by questioning from a viewpoint of a fictional formation ‘nationality’, ‘name’, ‘physicality’ realized as a definite category which differentiates and characterizes one individual, suggests the literary possibility that will crush the discriminative and biased logic produced from such unfair ‘boundary’.
