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. 000916044 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed October 31, 2019). 000916044 650_0 $$aReality. 000916044 650_0 $$aTruth. 000916044 650_0 $$aFake news. 000916044 7001_ $$aOverell, Rosemary. 000916044 7001_ $$aNicholls, Brett. 000916044 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aOverell, Rosemary$$tPost-Truth and the Mediation of Reality : New Conjunctures$$dCham : Palgrave Macmillan,c2019$$z9783030256692 000916044 852__ $$bebk 000916044 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-25670-8$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000916044 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:916044$$pGLOBAL_SET 000916044 980__ $$aEBOOK 000916044 980__ $$aBIB 000916044 982__ $$aEbook 000916044 983__ $$aOnline 000916044 994__ $$a92$$bISE
