<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-AU" lang="EN-AU"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-AU" lang="EN-AU">From Plato and Aristotle to Bazin and Baudrillard, reality and realism have been topics of reflection, debate, articulation and re-articulation in (among other fields) philosophy, media,
communication, and film. Photographers and documentary filmmakers, theorists, and writers have pondered the indexical connections between image and mechanical reproduction; the construction of subjective reality; and the attempt to capture reality. In contemporary
journalism ‘fake news’ is a topic of (occasionally politicized) discussion. While television genres capitalise on a ‘reality’ that is often more akin to fiction than fact.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-AU" lang="EN-AU"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-ansi-language:EN-AU" lang="EN-AU">This issue invites papers that reflect upon, challenge, and critique conventional notions of Reality in contemporary media, film, politics and culture. Authors are encouraged to consider
the implications of uses of ‘reality’ within specific socio-political and cultural contexts.
