Megan Cannon's Santaland Diaries After 25 Years, Julian Olf Takes His The University of MassachusettsSTAGES Amherst Department of Theater Alumni Newsletter Spring 2009 After 25 years, Julian Olf takes his leave by GIL MCCAULEY It can be difficult to say goodbye to a colleague who has selflessly given an amazing amount of his time, expertise and resources to the place and people around him. It is even more difficult when that colleague has also been a mentor and a friend. Such is the case for me in bidding farewell to Julian Olf. Julian has been a caretaker, orchestrator and motivator in the Department since coming to it in 1983. The students, the faculty and Gil's piece continues on page 6.

  • A Study of Affect, Satire, and Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential Election
    Going with Your Gut: A Study of Affect, Satire, and Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential Election Chad Jameson Clem Thesis submitted to the faculty of the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts In English Dr. Sheila L. Carter-Tod, Chair Dr. Virginia C. Fowler Dr. Katrina M. Powell April 20, 2017 Blacksburg, VA Keywords: Trump, Donald; Presidential elections; affect; satire; carnivalesque; media studies Copyright © Chad Clem 2017 Going with Your Gut: A Study of Affect, Satire, and Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential Election Chad Jameson Clem ABSTRACT This thesis is an exploration of affect theory and emotional rhetoric in the 2016 Presidential Election, and specifically in Donald Trump’s candidacy, first through a series of rhetorical readings of Trump’s rhetoric on the campaign trail and after his election. The first section of this thesis focuses on Donald Trump and the various rhetorical spaces he uses to reach his supporters through affectual means. Next, I will apply affect theory to Trump’s political rhetoric in order to illustrate how affect is intrinsic to his rhetoric and how he communicates to his audience. I find that utilizing texts by cultural rhetoric critics, namely those which discuss affect theory and the culture of emotion such as Sara Ahmed’s The Cultural Politics of Emotion, and culture and rhetorical spaces in Julie Lindquist’s A Place to Stand: Politics and Persuasion in a Working Class Bar, allows us to better understand the underlying cultural impetuses which created the conditions for Donald Trump’s presidency.

AN ANALYSIS OF THE AGENDA-SETTING POTENTIAL OF THE DAILY SHOW WITH JON STEWART By Sean Peick A Senior Honors Thesis Submitted to the Department of Communication of Boston College May 2011 i Acknowledgments First and foremost, I would like to thank my family for everything they have done that has helped lead me to the completion of a project that, growing up, I never dreamed I would be able to attempt. Their constant support – as well as a willingness to ensure that I was doing my best to stay on top of things – is something for which I will always be grateful. For these reasons, I dedicate this thesis to them. I would be remiss if I did not also accord a good amount of credit to my advisor, Dr. William Stanwood. From the project’s genesis as a research paper for his honors seminar all the way until the final draft of this thesis, he was always there with suggestions for how I could better achieve my desired results. His continual edits to the writing of this paper were invaluable, and his never-ending assurances that I was on the right path were a bigger help than I’m sure I let on.
