Helen Abbot is an interdisciplinary scholar of sound/ings and sex/intimacy, an intermedia artist, and experimental musician. Her work exists at the intersection of performance studies, sound studies, music studies, sex studies, love studies, and gender studies. She is interested in how sonic ideologies mediate representations and ontologies of womanhood in various artistic mediums. Abbot’s dissertation argues that Anaïs Nin’s musical writing style in her experimental novel Cities of the Interior proposed a sonic-utopic figure of womanhood according to Nin’s own sonic philosophy.
