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)

They are as follows: Almost Real: Connecting in a Wired World In a decade, the Internet has changed not only the economy and jobs but has transformed our personal lives as well. With insightful commentary by sci-fi writer William Gibson, virtual reality creator Jaron Lanier and 'post-nationalí writer Pico Iyer, this new documentary is a snapshot of the end of the first phase of the Internet-a far less utopian age than some had hoped. The Internet has re-defined the essence of how we conceive of communications and relationships. By focusing on six individuals for whom the Internet has become a lifeline, this intriguing documentary questions how the World Wide Web has transformed our sense of community. The early promise of the Internet could never have predicted people like these: a cyber punk in the middle of the English Channel who operates the first rogue Web server, a monk developing "wireless prayer technology," and a "gamer" who re-creates himself in an online game. Even concepts of school, marriage and retirement are mutating: an eight-year old opts for home schooling; a retired couple moves into an Internet-controlled seniorsí complex; and a woman exchanges vows online with a man she's never met. In an age of dispersed families and far-flung relationships, this cast of characters has each found a way to connect with a community of like-minded soul . . . but at what cost? 47 min.; VHS video; Public Performance Rights Purchase $195, Rental $70 Women and Men This film offers a look at the so-called "crisis" in relations between women and men today. Through the concrete experience of individuals, the film focuses on what makes relationships and love between men and women so problematic. By exploring the state of relations between the sexes, the film aims to capture the rich ambiguity between the sexes and, in doing so, uncover what remains workable and vital in their long-standing connection. Director: Katherine Gilday; Producer: Germaine Wong (more information not available at press time because the film is still in production) Salon I 376 ACA Special Event: A Screening of the Film Public Memory, by Filmmaker Amy Gerber Public Memory is an important and timely documentary that encourages Americans to think more deeply about the importance of memorials on our landscape. With national memorials in the news, top memorial scholars in the United States focus on the complex issues that surround memorializing crimes against humanity. Public Memory breaks new ground by taking a fresh look at how and why the public remembers. Amy Gerber has produced and directed over 30 documentaries and art films. She has won honors at numerous film festivals, including Edinburgh International Film Festival; Film Forum Series, Los Angeles; African American Festival, Stanford University; Mill Valley Film Festival, Marin, CA, and Women In The Director's Chair, Chicago. She was a director, editor and cinematographer of films for the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Amy Gerber studied film and video at Pennsylvania State University, and received an M.F.A. from the California Institute of the Arts, School of Film/Video. She has been invited to teach documentary studies at Hollins University in 2004.

Thanks to Bill Arhos, the innovative creator of Austin City Limits, in collaboration with Terry Lickona (producer) and Gary Menotti (director), the show has become a beloved fixture of PBS programming. Every week, millions of viewers around the country tune in for the intimate jam sessions, watching their favorite artists perform against the signature lights of the Austin skyline. The program's title was inspired by a road sign on the outskirts of the city. (http://txtell.lib.utexas.edu/stories). The representatives for Austin City Limits who are joining us are: Edward L.
