acroamatics pl (plural only)

  1. esoteric lectures.
    • 2002, Dave Hill, Marxism Against Postmodernism in Educational Theory, page 257:
      Derridean "messianicity without messianism" that marks so much of post-modernist educational theorizing today, and that makes use of esotericism, sigetics, acroamatics, proleptics, and illocutionary and perlocutionary acts in the disguise of a new pedagogy of the unknowable, wasn't the answer ten years ago.
