An Attention Network for Detection of Spliced Video Objects Inspired by Manipulated Visual Social Media Privacy Sensitive Issues Using NV2CIR Dataset
Even though forgery detection is a well matured topic, reporting on the same for detection of forgery in night time outdoor scenes is not explored to date. Despite the lack of appropriate benchmark video datasets for forgery detection at night time using infrared (IR) video modality, we designed a novel ground truth annotated forged video dataset named as “NV2CIR (Night Vision Video Forensic Challenges based IR Forged Dataset)” in real-world nigh…
War and Literary Studies
War and Postcolonial Studies
Taking the First World War as an originary moment of global conflict, the chapter examines how a postcolonial approach opens up war studies in terms of perspective and methodology while asking, at the same time, how a focus on warfare puts pressure on the abstractions of postcolonial theory. What do terms such as ‘war archive’ and the ‘literary’ mean in a context where the majority of the world’s combatants and non-combatants were, till recently,…
Liming and micronutrient application improves soil properties and productivity of the groundnut‐rapeseed cropping system in an acidic Inceptisol of India's eastern Himalayas
Aluminum toxicity, nutrient imbalance, and reduced microbial activity are the most limiting factors for optimum agronomic productivity in acid soils. A field study was conducted to investigate the impact of micronutrient and liming on soil properties and productivity of groundnut‐rapeseed system in an acidic Inceptisol. The impact of six micronutrient (control or no micronutrient, Zn at 5 kg ha −1 , B at 1 kg ha −1 , Mo at 0.5 kg ha −1 , Zn + Mo,…
Laura Marcus (7 March 1956–22 September 2021)
The six tributes included here were first delivered at the memorial event ‘Laura Marcus and Twentieth-Century Literary Studies’, a special meeting of Oxford’s Modern and Contemporary Literature Research Seminar which took place online on 20 October 2021. We have kept the tributes as they were originally delivered to retain the rhythm of that gathering. Before the event had even begun, we had reached our maximum number of attendees on Zoom (an upp…
Colonial Encounters in a Time of Global Conflict, 1914–1918
This volume gathers an international cast of scholars to examine the unprecedented range of colonial encounters during the First World War. More than four million men of color, and an even greater number of white Europeans and Americans, crisscrossed the globe. Others, in occupied areas, behind the warzone or in neutral countries, were nonetheless swept into the maelstrom. From local encounters in New Zealand, Britain and East Africa to army camp…
Colors of the Past
This roundtable offers four diverse perspectives on Peter Jackson’s innovative and controversial World War I documentary film They Shall Not Grow Old (2018). Jackson’s film breaks the mold of the documentary genre in its manipulation and montage of the visual and audio archives held at the Imperial War Museum in London. Yet he puts his technical virtuosity and resources at the service of a very traditional interpretation of the war, focusing almo…
India, Empire, and First World War Culture
Based on ten years of research, Santanu Das's India, Empire, and First World War Culture: Writings, Images, and Songs recovers the sensuous experience of combatants, non-combatants and civilians from undivided India in the 1914-1918 conflict and their socio-cultural, visual, and literary worlds. Around 1.5 million Indians were recruited, of whom over a million served abroad. Das draws on a variety of fresh, unusual sources - objects, images, rumo…
Reframing life/war 'writing
Undivided India (India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Burma) contributed to the First World War more than one million men, including combatants and non-combatants, who fought in places as far-flung as France, Gallipoli, Mesopotamia, East Africa, Egypt, Palestine and Central Asia. But these peasant-warriors have largely been deleted from the annals of 'Great War and modern memory' which till recently had remained Eurocentric. But how do we write the li…
Modernism and Autobiography
This volume offers sixteen original essays that attest to the extraordinary inventiveness and range of modernist autobiography. It examines the ways modernist writers chose to tell their life stories, with particular attention to forms, venues, modes of address, and degrees of truthfulness. The essays are grouped around a set of rubrics that isolate the distinctive character and shared preoccupations of modernist life-writings: questions of ances…
Writing Empire, Fighting War
At the crossing of Constitution Hill and Hyde Park in London, the unsuspecting tourist comes across what may initially seem to be a remnant of the Raj: a white dome- shaped chattri or pavilion stands on a small patch of ground by the side of the busy road (Figure 2.1). As one steps inside the monument, one realizes that this is the memorial to the Indian soldiers killed in the First and Second World Wars, with the names of those who The Memorial …

Sensing the Indian Sepoy in the First World War
Whether the dream now purposed to rehearse Be poet’s or fanatic’s will be known When this warm scribe my hand is in the grave. – and goes on to observe: The ‘warm scribe’, in Keats’s compelling description of the writer’s hand, cancels the distance between cold print and body. A hand reaches out from the text, is occupied in the text; brushing aside the print on the page, it makes the reader conscious of the hand’s activity in reading as well as …
Race, Empire and First World War Writing
This volume brings together an international cast of scholars from a variety of fields to examine the racial and colonial aspects of the First World War, and show how issues of race and empire shaped its literature and culture. The global nature of the First World War is fast becoming the focus of intense enquiry. This book analyses European discourses about colonial participation and recovers the war experience of different racial, ethnic and na…
The Singing Subaltern
This article recovers original sound-recordings of Indian POWS from the Lautarchiv at the Humboldt University and fresh archival material about Indian soldiers from the India Office Papers and examines the experience of Indian troops, testiing some of the assumptions of postcolonial theory
Touch and Intimacy in First World War Literature
The First World War ravaged the male body on an unprecedented scale, yet fostered moments of physical intimacy and tenderness among the soldiers in the trenches. Touch, the most elusive and private of the senses, became central to war experience. War writing is haunted by experiences of physical contact: from the muddy realities of the front to the emotional intensity of trench life, to the traumatic obsession with the wounded body in nurses' mem…
