Book SynopsisAudio Spoof Detection (ASD) systems play a pivotal role in evaluating whether the input speech signal has been manipulated by an imposter attempting unauthorized access to an authentic user's account or if it genuinely originates from the declared user. Primarily used for person authentication, these systems strive to verify the speaker's claimed identity. Despite substantial technological advancements, recent testing has revealed persistent vulnerabilities to spoofing, commonly referred to as a spoof attack. Various techniques such as mimicry, replay, Text-to Speech (TTS), and Voice Conversion (VC) are frequently employed in ASV systems to execute logical access (LA) or physical access (PA) spoofing attacks. To secure an ASD system from these attacks many research have given many good security models as countermeasures. Also, numerous review papers by different researchers have discussed various countermeasures developed to secure ASD systems. However, there is a notable absence of an authored book that comprehensively addresses this critical research topic, encompassing frontend, backend, dataset and types of attacks considerations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a book that serves as a valuable resource for upcoming researchers, offering insights into securing ASD systems and bridging the existing gap in the literature. Hence, this book is an effort by the authors in such direction.

Book SynopsisNative American Religions: Teaching and Learning on Stolen Land is an introduction to the religious life of Native American people in North America. Weaving together historical, ethnographic, theoretical, and legal materials, the book focuses on how religion is politicized in North America in the Native American context. Noting that no Native language actually has a word translatable to âœreligion,â as the sacred and the secular are not separate spheres in Native traditions, and that religion is a colonial construct, the book adopts theories and methods from Native American and Indigenous studies to understand Native American and Indigenous religious traditions.Written with the student in mind, this cutting-edge volume brings together 17 Indigenous and non-Indigenous scholars of various career stages to offer a theoretical framework through which to think about the role of religion in US-Native relations alongside real world case studies. This book introduces students to the histories of Native American peoples, including discussion of Indigenous intellectual traditions, Indigenous sovereignty movements, and practices such as cultural appropriation and land acknowledgement, to make the case that Native American religions are a political phenomenon. With student-friendly pedagogy throughout, including discussion questions and âœfurther resourcesâ lists, it is a must-read for all students and teachers of Native American Religions, Religion in America, or Indigenous Studies.

Book SynopsisIntimate Commentaries on Tadeusz Kantorâs Theatre is a collection of Michal Kobialkaâs essays, written between 1986 and 2025, that provide a comprehensive understanding of Kantorâs theatre practice.The book is divided into three parts, each focusing on a specific area of Tadeusz Kantorâs theatre practice. Part One explores Kantorâs radical departure from, or rupture within, the known and accepted representational categories not only of the 20th, but also of the 21st century. Part Two focuses on Kantorâs productions, which disrupted the preestablished artistic conventions in order to infiltrate and shatter the prevailing political, ideological, and cultural systems of power. Part Three sheds light on Kantorâs 1949-1990 theatre experiments with objects, matter, space, reality of the lowest rank, an autonomous work of art, zero zones, the impossible condition, and complex mnemotechnics, which reflected his unwavering belief that theatre was an answer to, rather than a representation of, reality. The three parts elucidate the central argument of this book, that Kantorâs theatre is an example of refractory art in its double sense: as a negation of the status quo and as a deviation from the dominant artistic conventions in service to any official cultural system and its culture industry.Intimate Commentaries on Tadeusz Kantorâs Theatre will be of interest to scholars and students of theatre and performance, performance theory, theatre history, Polish theatre, and avant-garde art in the 20th century.

Book SynopsisIn this accessible and informative text, Michael R. Miller draws on his extensive experience working on award-winning films, to help readers develop their âeyeâ for editing.The book begins by emphasizing the need for editors to pay attention to the emotional and aesthetic tone of a project and scene, before it explores what makes great editing in a feature film.

Book SynopsisPsychoanalysis and Euripides' Suppliant Women explores how ancient tragedy illuminates contemporary political crises through a psychoanalytic lens. Through a âœtragicâ reading of Euripidesâ play, Suppliant Women, it demonstrates how fractured societies attempt to heal themselves through populism, authoritarianism, cruelty, and cultures of deception. It examines how democratic politics requires integrating split-off elements of mythical religious beliefs linked to mourning processes and feminine existence.The book presents Euripides' painful diagnosis that humans are fundamentally split beings whose public life constitutes a struggle to integrate primitive, supernatural forces that exist beyond rational political order. It analyses how humans struggle with omnipotence, bisexuality, and drives, often defending against painful knowledge through catastrophic tragic acts including war, suicide, and violence. The book uses the motherâinfant relationship as a model for understanding societal and political functions, showing how tragic plots transform impossible impasses into tolerable paradoxes within transitional spaces. The infant's helplessness is thought of as the founding principle of the human psyche and society.This interdisciplinary study will be of interest to psychoanalysts in practice and in training, as well as academics and scholars of psychoanalytic studies, politics, and classical studies, and anyone seeking to understand how ancient wisdom addresses modern democratic challenges and the pathological mental functioning manifest in contemporary politics.

Book SynopsisMyths of Masculinity and American Film examines ideologies of white American manhood that permeated U.S. culture between 1974 and 2016âthe period in which the boys of Generation X grew into adulthood.Stephen R. Duncan argues that the mass media of movies and television, along with some popular novels, music, and certain newsworthy events, can help reveal these ideologiesâfor good and for illâas they dramatically changed in the wake of the social movements of the 1960s and early 1970s.

Book SynopsisWhat does it mean, three decades after the demise of the USSR, to inhabit cities built for a future that has never arrived? In pursuit of the question â what is left of the socialist city? â the aim of this book project is not only to trace the material and mnemonic remains of the socialist city but to show how the Soviet discourse of the city would at times engender radical ideas that challenged the narrow confines of state socialism itself.These are, for instance, the efforts of Esperanto-speaking internationalists from Czechoslovakia to build the internationalist city from below in the Central Asian steppe, the quest of Armenian Futurists to root the architectural style of Soviet Armenia in the countryâs Persianate heritage, or the vision of a Jewish-Kyrgyz philosopher of turning a science town in the hinterland of Moscow into the first ecopolis of the USSR. In an effort to rethink the life and afterlife of the Soviet city from its geographical South, the book explores the material and immaterial legacies of socialist-era urbanization in Central Asia and the Southern Caucasus. To this end, it embarks on a historical and ethnographic journey to urban sites in Armenia and Kyrgyzstan. In quest of reconstructing from varied empirical sources in Armenian, Czech, Kyrgyz and Russian competing visions of urbanity that emerged from within the Soviet South, the book outlines four competing urban visions: bottom-up urbanity, rooted urbanity, polycentric urbanity and ecocentric urbanity. The project aims to bring the regions of the South Caucasus and Central Asia. By understanding the social vision of a socialist city of the future beyond the political center in its trans-local interdependence it highlights the cultural and linguistic diversity of the Soviet South and its historical embeddedness within the regional dynamics of the Global South.As such, this will be an important resource for students, instructors, and researchers in understanding and thinking through socialism, post-socialist transformation and histories of the USSR. In this, David Leupold brings formidable historical imagination and ethnographic research to enliven the shape, contours, and textures of the 'socialist city' and its afterlife beyond the demise of the Soviet Union.

Book SynopsisArchitectural education today is stretched between institutional inertia, market orientation, and planetary polycrisis. Contemporary urgencies â climate, nature, inequality, food systemsâ are typically treated superficially, when they demand a reordering of the terms of pedagogy itself. Pedagogies for an Anti-Disciplinary Design Education assembles methods from 15 contributors â across 12 universities in 10 countries â who are attempting to encompass the trans-scalar conflicts that design must take responsibility for.Why anti-disciplinarity? Architecture is undoubtedly permissive in its range of interests and roles. Still, in design schools today, even subjects that share teaching spaces â architecture, urbanism, landscape, preservation, (nature) conservation, interior design, industrial design, etc. â are structurally prevented from interacting. And architecture education is so demanding and so market-oriented that engaging disciplines beyond design schools â geography, sociology, history, politics, theory â is even harder.This book argues that a radical rethink is needed. An anti-disciplinary approach can engage the entangled supply chains, energy regimes, debt structures, border policies, histories of dispossession, and more-than-human ecologies in which design operates. Another design education is not only imaginable but already emerging in the experiments documented here, and it can be pursued without denying the constraints within which most of us work.

Book SynopsisQueer Psychoanalysis offers a detailed study of the tensions and contiguities between the field of queer theory and that of Freudian-Lacanian metapsychology.Drawing on a detailed reading of the critiques that have been levelled against psychoanalysis by queer theorists, this book makes use of, and reinvigorates, a certain ethics. Fabrice Bourlez offers a perspective from which these two domains, rather than being opposed one to the other, can be thought of as being in dialogue. The book considers the work of both queer theorists and psychoanalytic thinkers and confronts the numerous homophobic stances that punctuate the history of psychanalysis. Bourlez formulates a manner of thinking that frees psychoanalysis from its preconceptions and unthought, while avoiding the entrapment of queer theory in a self-righteous utopian ideal. In so doing, this book conceptualizes a vision of psychanalysis that is better able to attend to the full spectrum of contemporary subjects.Queer Psychoanalysis will be essential reading for psychoanalysts and for scholars of psychoanalytic studies, sexuality, gender studies, psychology, cultural studies, aesthetic studies, and queer theory.
