Accordingly, she argues for meta-reception's utility as a feminist analytical tool, particularly its capacity to make sense of diffuse or collective efforts to enact rhetorical and social change over time.
Meta-reception is a phenomenon that is related to circulation, public memory, rhetorical ecologies, and other concepts that foreground the dynamic and dispersed nature of much rhetorical activity. Meta-reception illuminates the ways that rhetorical effects can far exceed a specific context and purpose, and it demonstrates that analysis focused on a supposedly independent rhetor’s choices is insufficient to account for the collective efforts by which rhetoric often shapes or maintains worldviews that support or resist social change.

Happy #FeministFridays! ✨

In "Sex in Education and the Rhetoric of Meta-Reception," published in the Fall 2025 issue of Peitho, Carolyn Skinner introduces meta-reception, or commentary on a text's reception, as a concept for feminist rhetorical analysis.

🧵 or doi.org/10.37514/PEI...
Carolyn Skinner's article "Sex in Education and the Rhetoric of Meta-Reception" in the Fall 2025 issue of Peitho conceptualizes meta-reception, or the reception of a text's reception, as a feminist analytic tool that reveals how meaning, authority, and memory are actively shaped through collective commentary on earlier reception, not just texts themselves.
