概要 Wearing virtual fashion without physical cloth in virtual space is considered a sustainable act, but in the first place, does wearing this virtual fashion with an avatar mean abandoning one's own body and becoming free to follow one's own desires, unrestricted by the boundaries of the various “I's” as Kaiser and Green, does this mean that I am free to follow my own desires? In other words, does it mean that one can freely overcome the boundaries of the various 'I's and become the person one wants to be? Using the Japanese game Animal Crossing as a case study, this paper analyses the relevant discourses of several actors to explore how virtual fashion has been used to create new forms of identity for those who have abandoned their physical bodies in the age of Liquid Modernity, and what the issues are.
