Hedy Lamarr: An Austrian Beauty and Inventress in the Hollywood Star System
No full textAutorka przypomina niezwykłą historię pochodzącej z Austrii hollywoodzkiej gwiazdy lat 30., 40. i wczesnych 50., a zarazem wynalazczyni (wraz z George’em Antheilem) tzw. metody rozpraszania widma sygnału z przeskokiem częstotliwości, która uchodzi dziś za podstawę komunikacji bezprzewodowej. Korzystając w dużej mierze z dwugłosowej biografii aktorki autorstwa Jochena Förstera i syna Hedy Lamarr Anthony’ego Lodera, Kosińska-Krippner koncentruje się głównie na funkcjonowaniu aktorki w hollywoodzkim systemie gwiazd, jej (nie)radzeniu sobie z jego wszystkimi pułapkami, z uwielbieniem i krytyką, a także na wpływie uwikłania w ten system na jej życie prywatne. Autorka przytacza przykłady na reaktywację upadłej gwiazdy jako wynalazczyni w latach 90. i wskazuje na inspirującą siłę jej biografii, która analizowana jest dziś przez badaczy w rozmaitych kontekstach.The author reminds us of the incredible story of an Austrian Hollywood star of the 1930s, 1940s and early 1950s, and an inventress (together with George Antheil) of the spread spectrum and frequency hopping technology, which today is considered to be the basis of wireless communication. Using largely co-authored biography of the actress by Jochen Förster and Anthony Loder - Hedy Lamarr’s son, Kosińska-Krippner focuses mainly on how the actress functioned in the Hollywood star system, and how she managed (or not) to deal with all its pitfalls, devotion and criticism, and Hollywood’s impact on her private life. The author gives examples of reactivation of the fallen star as an inventress in the 1990s and shows the inspiring force of her biography, which is today analysed by researchers in various contexts

An 'I' for an 'I': the first-person, common, singular pronoun in biblical hebrew
No full textThis thesis is a holistic approach to understanding the first-person (1), common (c), singular (sg), independent (ind.) pronoun (pro.) in Hebrew. Unlike the second and third-person pronouns that have two two forms which are marked for gender, the two forms of 1csg ind. pro. are not marked for gender, making the distinction between the two forms an anomaly. This thesis will seek to understand this anomaly diachronically in the first two chapters and synchronically in the final two chapters. Diachronically, it traces the development of the two forms from proto-Semitic (PS) and provides a postulation on how the two forms developed and why both persisted in Hebrew. It also traces the development of the two forms within in Hebrew providing perspective on the role of the pronoun as a delimiting factor for the different periods of Hebrew. Synchronically, it examines various scholastic efforts to rectify the seemingly indiscriminate usage of the two forms in biblical prose. It also considers the insights that non-traditional grammar offers in determining the difference of usage of the two forms. Ultimately, while the thesis does not set forward a framework for discriminating between the usages of the two forms in biblical prose, it evaluates the strengths and weaknesses of previous methods and explores new avenues of insight.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Charles W.
