English, French, German, Chinese
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 autofiction 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. He has a forthcoming article in Prism: Theory and Modern Chinese Literature.
