Born and raised in Taiwan, Chang-Yen Lo holds an M.A. with distinction in European Culture and Thought from University College London and a B.B.A. in International Business from National Taiwan University. His dissertation explores how the mobilization of the self in contemporary psychoanalytic practices, new media art, and autobiographical and autofictional writings in France and China can harbor a form of resistant agency against systems of power that govern bodies, subjectivity, discourses, cultural production, and social and historical relations. His research interests also include deconstruction, affect theory, 20th-century continental philosophy, and Sinophone literature.
