Wednesday, April 7, 7:00 p.m. Salon F 174 Popular Culture Association Governing Board Awards Reception 2004 Honorees: Regentsí Professor Peter C. Rollins Sandra Cisneros, author Jeff Krulik, filmmaker Peter C. Rollins, Regents Professor at Oklahoma State University, teaches courses on film and American Studies. He is also the Film & History Association cofounder with Susan Rollins, author and editor of numerous books and articles, and a frequent consultant on national projects pertaining to film and culture. (See www.filmandhistory.org for details.) He was President of PCA (1980-82) and the Director of Development for both the PCA and the ACA for nearly ten years and creator (with John S. Lawrence) of the PCA/ACA listserv. Further back in time, he helped to found (with M.K. Schoenecke) the SW regional PCA/ACA. Sandra Cisneros' first novel, The House on Mango Street, brought an entirely new voice to American literature, describing the experience of narrator Esperanza Cordero, a Mexican-American girl living a hardscrabble existence in Chicago. As Bebe Moore Campbell put it, in the New York Times Book Review: "She is not only a gifted writer, but an absolutely essential one." The book bore the author's powerful descriptive talents: Comparing her house on Mango Street with the "real house" her parents had promised her, Esperanza notes, "The house on Mango street is not the way they told it at all. It's small and red with tight steps in front and windows so small you'd think they were holding their breath." © by Rubén Guzman Cisneros, who grew up in Chicago as the only daughter in a family of seven children, attended college on scholarship and was an ethnic anomaly as a graduate student at University of Iowa's renowned Writers' Workshop. There is a lyric quality to Cisneros' work that makes sense, given her alternate life as a poet who has published several volumes of poetry. Cisneros suffuses her poetry and fiction with healthy dose of Spanish and a feminine sensibility, female narrators who remember everything and for whom no detail or sensation is too small. Paragraphs are often punctuated by lists and five-word snapshots. As Cisneros herself has said, she is a miniaturist. Her poetry and a 1991 collection of stories, Woman Hollering Creek, would have to tide fans over until the long-awaited release of her second novel, 2002's Caramelo. . . . Like her first novel, the story is narrated by a Mexican-American girl; but the scope is a broader one, covering generations of a family as viewed through a cherished caramelo rebozo, or striped traditional shawl, which has been passed down through generations to the book's heroine. . . . The novel began as an exploration of her own family, and the connection to Cisneros' own life is evident. Here as in other work, Cisneros fills in the gaps between Mexico and the U.S., personal myth and reality. (www.barnesandnoble.com/writers) Jeff Krulik: Best known for the notorious Heavy Metal Parking Lot (HMPL), Washington, D.C.-based Jeff Krulik produces documentaries dealing with arcane pop culture. In his films such as King of Porn, I Created Lancelot Link, Ernest Borgnine on the Bus, Obsessed with Jews, and Hitler's Hat, Krulik finds unusual people in normal situations or normal people in unusual situations and quickly zeros in on the ridiculous. Krulik is a prolific artist who has shown his work all over the world. He has been involved in the film and television industry since the early '80s, including production, promotion and programming. He spent five years developing and researching programs for Discovery Channel and The Learning Channel. Since May 1995, he's been an independent freelance producer. (Pat Doyen, 2002, www.rmicweb.org)
