Felski is a prominent scholar in the fields of aesthetics and literary theory, feminist theory, modernity and postmodernity, and cultural studies. She is closely associated with the field of postcritique, a school of thought that tries to find new forms of reading and interpretation that go beyond the methods of critique, critical theory, and ideological criticism. Felski is the author of ''Beyond Feminist Aesthetics: Feminist Literature and Social Change'' (Harvard UP, 1989), ''The Gender of Modernity'' (Harvard UP, 1995), ''Doing Time: Feminist Theory and Postmodern Culture'' (New York UP, 2000), ''Literature After Feminism'' (Chicago UP, 2003), and ''Uses of Literature'' (Blackwell, 2008). ''The Limits of Critique'' (Chicago UP, 2015), an assessment of the role of the hermeneutics of suspicion as a mood and method in literary studies, has been widely reviewed. Felski is the editor of ''Rethinking Tragedy'' (Johns Hopkins, 2008) and co-editor of ''Comparison: Theories, Approaches, Uses'' (Johns Hopkins, 2013), ''Critique and Postcritique'' (Duke UP 2017), and ''Latour and the Humanities'' (Johns Hopkins, 2020). She has also published articles in numerous essay collections and in such scholarly journals as ''PMLA'', ''Signs'', ''New Literary History'', ''Modernism/Modernity'', ''Cultural Critique'', ''Theory'', ''Culture and Society'', and ''New Formations''. Her most recent book, ''Hooked: Art and Attachment'', was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2020.
