Abstract

This article aims to explain theoretically that it is possible to be attracted to nijigen (twodimensional) objects that is not reduced to an attraction to “real” flesh-and-blood people (“interpersonally oriented sexuality”) and how such a sexuality can be made invisible. Interpersonally oriented sexuality has been taken for granted in previous studies. This article considers desire for nijigen as desire for "artifacts created based on the stock of knowledge that has become an artificial environment.” Then, by rereading Hiroki Azuma’s criticism against “negative theology” as criticism against gender binarism and interpersonally oriented sexuality-centrism, this article theorizes about "subversion by animating misdelivery," which idles the reproduction of rules and norms in the real world. Finally, it is explained that such non-interpersonally oriented sexuality is cunningly erased in a way that is different from suppression or repression, in that “it loses meaning,” through Judith Butler and Donald Winnicott. In so doing, this article suggests the necessity of further research on criticizing interpersonally oriented sexuality-centrism.
