TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a method for detecting face swapping and other identity manipulations in single images, which involves two networks: (i) a face identification network that considers the face region bounded by a tight semantic segmentation, and (ii) a context recognition network that consider the face context (e.g., hair, ears, neck).
Abstract: We propose a method for detecting face swapping and other identity manipulations in single images. Face swapping methods, such as DeepFake, manipulate the face region, aiming to adjust the face to the appearance of its context, while leaving the context unchanged. We show that this modus operandi produces discrepancies between the two regions (e.g., Fig. 1). These discrepancies offer exploitable telltale signs of manipulation. Our approach involves two networks: (i) a face identification network that considers the face region bounded by a tight semantic segmentation, and (ii) a context recognition network that considers the face context (e.g., hair, ears, neck). We describe a method which uses the recognition signals from our two networks to detect such discrepancies, providing a complementary detection signal that improves conventional real vs. fake classifiers commonly used for detecting fake images. Our method achieves state of the art results on the FaceForensics++, Celeb-DF-v2, and DFDC benchmarks for face manipulation detection, and even generalizes to detect fakes produced by unseen methods.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined noncommittal political discourse in televised political interviews in the context of Bavelas, Black, Chovil, and Mullett's theory of equivocation.
Abstract: Noncommittal political discourse in televised political interviews is examined in the context of Bavelas, Black, Chovil, and Mullett's theory of equivocation. The two central propositions of this theory are shown to be well supported. Bull and others' reconceptualization of the theory in terms of face and face management is also discussed. It is argued that the latter is more parsimonious in its explanation of equivocal discourse in political interviews. Furthermore, it may be extended to those instances in which politicians do reply to questions, and to the assessment of the interview performance of both interviewers and politicians. In addition, it provides a useful conceptual framework for future research on nonequivocal political discourse. Overall, it is proposed that in the analysis of political discourse, the main propositions of equivocation theory can be subsumed within the wider conceptual framework of face and face management.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the requirement that leaders be present to care for their followers in times of crisis and examine the story of Nero playing his fiddle while Rome burns.
Abstract: The job of a leader includes caring for others, or taking responsibility for them. All leaders face the challenge of how to be both ethical and effective in their work. This paper focuses on the requirement that leaders be present to care for their followers in times of crisis. It examines the story of Nero playing his fiddle while Rome burns. This is a tale that has been repeated in various forms by ancient historians and modern writers. The fact that the story gets repeated through the ages tells us about the kind of care that people expect from their leaders.

TL;DR: The notion of diaspora has been used in this paper to emphasize cultural openness through connections across place, which Hall approaches through the notion of Diaspora, which is a response to the impact of globalization on cultures and cultural identity.
Abstract: Given that cultures are defined and perceived in
this way, it is hardly surprising that the impact of
globalization is seen by many commentators as profoundly unsettling for cultures and cultural identity.
With its accelerated flows of goods, peoples, ideas,
and images, the ‘stretching’ of social relations, its
time and space convergences, its migrating movements of people and cultures, globalization is
calculated to disturb culture’s settled contours.
Established traditions and customary ways of life
are dislocated by the invasion of foreign influences
and images from the new global cultural industries
which traditional communities find enormously
seductive, impossible to reject, yet difficult to contain. Global consumerism, though limited by its
uneven ‘geography of power’, spreads the same thina culture and its place, to maintain the imagined purity of both in the face of dramatic changes. The second
response is one that emphasizes cultural openness through connections across place, which Hall approaches
through the notion of diaspora.

TL;DR: When the idea of "citizen" came into view, and was linked to the materialization and formation of the nation-state in secular north Europe, it enforced the formation of communities of birth instead of Communities of faith as discussed by the authors.
Abstract: When the idea of "citizenship" came into view-and was linked to the materialization and formation of the nation-state in secular north Europe-it enforced the formation of communities of birth instead of communities of faith. But at that time, the imperial and colonial differences were already in place, and both were recast in the new face of Western empires. The figure of the "citizen" presupposed an idea of the "human" that had already been formed during the Renaissance and was one of the constitutive elements of the colonial
