Angelene Wong

Angelene Wong was born and raised in Singapore, where she received her BA in English Literature from Nanyang Technological University. Her research investigates the 21st century intersection between fashion and dance through the lens of metamodernism to answer a larger question: What is the experience of the body in the metamodern space and time? Simultaneously, it conducts a theoretical speculation to test the current definition of metamodernism. This study not only foregrounds the spatio-temporal body politics evident in the relationship between fashion and dance, but it also underscores the interdisciplinary potential of bringing fashion studies into dialogue with dance studies and philosophy.
