In this project, I analyze news coverage of the #MeToo movement to categorize how blame is assigned and what corrective actions are prescribed for the pervasive problem of sexual violence. Although it is tempting to scapegoat individuals, this practice often limits the scope of sexual violence to isolated cases. Transcendence is an alternative route to redemption that attributes blame to structural and societal forces. However, transcendence may erase intersectional differences and silence voices by overshadowing individual stories. I argue that the risks in focusing exclusively on either scapegoating or transcendence can be mediated through the lens of a rhetorical constellation. This approach calls for media and news coverage of #MeToo to attend to the specific circumstances of individual cases and to frame those unique people, voices, and stories as part of a series of interactions with other instances of sexual violence that constitute a call for societal change.

在这个项目中，我分析了#MeToo 运动的新闻报道，以对如何分配责任以及针对普遍存在的性暴力问题规定了哪些纠正措施进行分类。尽管将个人作为替罪羊很诱人，但这种做法通常将性暴力的范围限制在孤立的案件中。超越是另一种救赎途径，将责任归咎于结构和社会力量。然而，超越可能会通过掩盖个别故事来消除交叉差异和沉默声音。我认为，专注于替罪羊或超越的风险可以通过修辞星座的镜头来调节。这种方法要求#MeToo 的媒体和新闻报道关注个案的具体情况，并将那些独特的人、声音、
