Taft Bulletin / SUMMER 2016 1 On Main Hall A WORD FROM HEADMASTER WILLY MACMULLEN ’78 SUMMER 2016 Volume 86, Number 4 EDITOR A TALE OF TWO CAMPAIGNS Linda Hedman Beyus DIRECTOR OF MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS For the first 35 years of our history, Horace Taft refused to ask for money to support the school. It Kaitlin Thomas Orfitelli was a matter of principle for him, and we know this because of a critical decision he made in 1927, when he decided to turn what had been his school, technically but never practically a for-profit ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF MARKETING AND COMMUNICATIONS Debra Meyers institution, over to the board of trustees. It had always been his school—privately owned and origi- nally called “Mr. Taft’s School for Boys”—and when he needed to fix a roof or give a scholarship, PHOTOGRAPHY he borrowed money. He then paid it back, and that’s how the school had run for almost 40 years: Robert Falcetti borrow and pay, borrow and pay. So incorporating the school was an incredibly important decision. ALUMNI NOTES ASSISTANT It was about good governance, obviously, but it also allowed the school to do something Taft had Natascha Schwartz never been comfortable doing: raising money. Taft had been explicit over the preceding decades, saying that “We could ask for no contributions for a privately owned school.” It just wasn’t right, ON THE COVER DESIGN An inspiring quote from Horace Good Design, LLC | www.gooddesignusa.com and he was a man of deep integrity.

    Neg(oti)ating Fusion: Steely Dan’s Generic Irony by Ethan Krajewski A thesis presented for the B.A. degree with Honors in The Department of English University of Michigan Winter 2018 © 2018 Ethan Patrick Krajewski To my parents for music and language Acknowledgements My biggest thanks go to my advisor, Professor Julian Levinson, as a teacher, mentor, and friend, for helping me think, talk, write, and (most importantly, I think) laugh about seventies rock music. You’ve helped make this project fun in all of its rigor and relaxed despite all of the stress that it’s caused. I’d also like to thank Professor Gillian White for leading our cohort toward discipline, and for keeping us all grounded. Also for her spirited conversations and anecdotes, which proved invaluable in the early stages of my thinking. I wouldn’t be here writing this if it weren’t for Professor Supriya Nair, who pushed me to apply for the program and helped me develop the intellectual curiosity that led to this project. The same goes for Gina Brandolino, who I count among my most important teachers and role models. To the cohort: thank you for all of your help over the course of the year. You’re all so smart, and so kind, and I wish you all nothing but the best. To Ashley: if you aren’t the best non-professional line editor at large in the world, then you’re at least second or third. I mean it sincerely when I say that this project would be infinitely worse without your guidance.

Through the stylization of image, music and sound effects, advertisers communicate an abstract concept of a brand, and instantiate the brand through an audience member’s heightened experience of the brand via the ad. Facilitated by socialized and mediatized frameworks for brand communications, branding is an embodied practice that relies on the audience member’s participation with the brand through her/his real experience with an (audiovisual) advertisement. The effect of making the abstract brand tangible relies on successfully executing advertising objectives to create “impact” through stylized and often hyperreal representations of reality.
