      abstract = {Our contemporary moment is preoccupied with arbitrating  and articulating reality. With the spectre of buzzwords  like fake news and post-truth we find a scramble to locate  or fix some sort of universal, immovable real beneath what  are positioned as fake articulations and discourse. To  engage with this crisis, this collection argues for the  importance of a new conjuncture in communication and  cultural studies of media. Building on Halls understanding  of conjuncture as a way of grasping moments within  hegemonic struggle, the essays suggest that the current  moment requires a revitalization of the concept of  conjuncture. In particular, Post-Truth and the Mediation of  Reality confronts questions of how to grapple with mediated  politics in what has been dubbed a post-truth era. Divided  into three sections, the book tackles key sites in which  realness is in crisis within contemporary Anglophone media  culture, including Trumpism, reality TV, the #metoo  movement, and social media productions of the truth.},
