Description

Rita Felski's Hooked explores how we become attached to works of art, from literature and film to music and painting. She argues that our emotional responses to high art are just as fundamental as our appreciation for popular culture.

The author identifies three key attachment devices that connect audiences to artworks: identification, attunement, and interpretation. By examining examples from various artistic fields, Felski reveals how the social meanings of artworks are generated by both critics and captivated audiences.
