Description
The Phoenician language was an ancient language spoken by the Phoenicians in modern day Lebanon. The goal of this project is to research the language, looking at the alphabet, inspecting sounds of how the language was spoken (phonology/morphology), as well as the languages structure (grammar, word order, syntax). As well as adding onto the history of the language, the people, culture, and what made the language ultimately die out.

Description
The objective of this project is to determine whether a finite-element model can predict the threshold temperatures at which mechanical failure will occur in perovskite-silicon tandem modules. No such computational thermomechanical analysis has been performed on perovskite-silicon tandem modules. Previous literature has demonstrated the effectiveness of finite element methods in predicting cracking of perovskites under bending loads and for characterizing the thermomechanical behavior of solar photovoltaic devices. This work computationally synthesizes these two research areas to determine design criteria for mechanically robust next-generation tandem photovoltaic devices and modules.

Description
The History of the Future is a film series presented by ASU’s Center for Science and the Imagination in partnership with Majestic Neighborhood Cinema Grill Tempe. Once a month in the fall and spring seasons, Majestic Theater screens a retro sci-fi film I have selected that is set in the future and invites audience members to relive the nostalgia of seeing the movie in theaters all while applying its lessons to today’s future. For each film screening, I choose a guest speaker to introduce the movie and prime the audience to think of the film as just one imagination of the future. The project furthers CSI’s mission to connect with our community’s imaginations that can enact change for our collective future.

DescriptionThis is a reflection on Michael Frayn's Copenhagen, a theatrical experiment. It explores how directing affects the audience's experience of the text. It metaphorically correlates quantum theory and theatre in the round.

Description
Highly culturally-embedded elements of language like linguistic style and norms of formality and informality can pose a challenge for translators. Theorists of translation studies have historically considered the field of audiovisual translation in particular as a culturally homogenizing institution due to the strong commercial forces surrounding production of audiovisual translation. In this thesis, I discuss how speakers of French use lexical items to index linguistic formality and informality as an element of style. Style itself is a dynamic and continually innovative tool available to speakers to express identity and positionality of the speaker as well as attitudes toward their interlocutors. In French film and television, these stylistic features are critical to character identity-building and storytelling. In this thesis, I analyze France.tv Slash’s teen drama, Skam France (2018-2023), to explore how independent fan translators tackle complex translational issues of culture and linguistic style and how their choices influence meaning-making in narrative television. Ultimately, despite its drawbacks and complications, the collaborative, decentralized, and reciprocal nature of the fansubbing model reveals new potentialities in the form and function of audiovisual translation.

Description
This research paper explores the dynamic interplay between early Soviet film and
the French New Wave movement, with a specific focus on the cinematic contributions of Sergei Eisenstein. By delving into the personal diaries and memoirs of this iconic director and drawing from a rich array of essays, articles, and interviews found in the pages of Cahiers du Cinéma and Revue du Cinéma, this study seeks to unravel the intricate web of influences and ideological connections that link the two cinematic movements. Sergei Eisenstein, a pioneering figure in Soviet film, is examined in the context of his most prominent cinematic works, including "Battleship Potemkin" and "October." By scrutinizing Eisenstein's theories on montage and the dialectical synthesis of images, this paper uncovers the profound impact of his ideas on the aesthetics and narrative strategies employed by the directors of the French New Wave. In conclusion, this research contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the cross-cultural dialogues within the world of cinema, emphasizing the enduring legacy of Eisenstein's theories by uncovering the often-overlooked connections between early Soviet film and the French New Wave, this study enriches our appreciation of the interconnected aspects of cinematic movements and the enduring impact Eisenstein’s vision combined with his charismatic personality.
