藉著人類學這個研究工具，個人從歷史、宗教、考古學、民族學、視覺溝通、象徵人

類學、語言與文化製圖、美學、觀光、人類學的宗教研究以及表演藝術等不同向度，

探討並瞭解在南亞、東南亞、東亞、非洲、亞太平洋、大西洋等區域的文化現象。以

跨學科的角度，探討多樣的環境脈絡中人類的價值觀與信仰，是本人從事研究工作時

的中心思想。本人的研究與教學內容可概分為五大向度： (a) 溝通民族誌：語言系統與知識習得 ethnography of communication: language systems and knowledge acquisition；(b) 生命史研究 life histories； (c) 美學人類學 aesthetic anthropology； (d) 視覺人類學 visual ethnography； (e) 信仰體系與人類學的宗教研究 belief systems and the anthropology of religion。除致力於教學及研究工作，並積極參與學術相關活動：以參加研討會及協助舉辦學術

會議,，提升學術互動，增進跨文化交流。因長住台灣，涉入既深，關懷亦切，故於台灣文教發展多所注力：常應文教活動之需，提供個人經驗，協助文化活動及學術文教

研究計畫 PROJECTS

1983 年獲加州大學洛杉磯分校文化人類學博士學位，1984 年起任教於台灣，研究旨趣在於民間信仰及人類學的宗教研究 (Masks: Anthropology on the Sinhalese Belief System, 1994)。以研究對象本身的觀點出發 (emic view)，從事生命史 (life history) 與影像記錄 (ethnographic film)，最能貼切說明本人的研究方法。

個人持續的研究工作，建立在運用文字與影像媒體以記錄傳統信仰體系脈絡中的個體

〈例如，佛教社會的辛哈里人〉之生命史，進而勾勒出群體生命圖像的方法。這個過

程與報導人主體所表達的美感經驗，緊緊相連，架構出報導人的社群文化及資產檔

案。其間所需要的技巧，包括了語言、視覺與美感人類學、信仰體系的人類學研究，

以及長期浸淫田野工作中，對於脈絡經驗的感受與反省。

1980 年代晚期，本人開始參與以台灣南島語族為中心，探討南島語族起源與文化發展的研究，完成 Austronesian Taiwan: Linguistics, History, Ethnology, Prehistory 論文結集的編輯付梓。這本書總合了人類學四大分支的研究取向，國內外學者發表了百年來台

灣南島語族研究的回顧與展望。

另依長期性研究計劃：擔任電子文化地圖創設協會 (Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative, ECAI) 南島語族區域計劃的編輯。這個計劃是運用地理資訊系統 (Geographical Information Systems, GIS) 以及時空地圖軟體 (temporal-spatial software)，建立以台灣為起點，而後逐步延伸到廣大的太平洋區及部份印度洋地區，南島語族分佈所在之種種

語言與文化元素的時空層位的大型資料庫 (metadata)。

UC Berkeley—Pacific Languages Atlas, Editor Working with groups since 1997 on temporal spatial digital mapping as an international consortium for an educational database of Pacific languages and cultures. Funded projects derive from the University of California Development Office and UC Berkeley. My role at UC Berkeley and Academia Sinica with the Computing Centre and (2003-2004) with Institute of History and Philology (Linguistics) has been to physically map 30,000 islands of the Pacific for a digital cultural atlas of languages serving as a bulletin board for community and scholarly exchange.

Pacific Language Mapping traces historical and contemporary theories on the study of Pacific languages and cultures. Language is a crucial component of culture, so maps showing the distribution of languages and dialects are a very effective indicator of the contours of cultural geography. From the nineteenth century printed language area maps and isogloss maps (maps of dispersion of individual linguistic practices) were developed for tracing language patterns. Digital map displays of this sort constitute a “cultural atlas.” Techniques are explored in digital mapping of Pacific languages and cultures. Students learn to navigate geographical information systems (GIS) through methods by which diverse resources relating to the same area can be shown as “layers” selectively displayable in a map-based visualization.

Since 1997 collaboration with UC Berkeley and GIS Lab Computing Centre at Academia Sinica and later with the Institute of Linguistics my mapping project has utilized geographic information systems (GIS) for digitizing 30,000 islands of the Pacific for a Web based cultural atlas of languages serving as a bulletin board for scholarly exchange. See Website, www.ecai.org UNESCO—Hoi An World Heritage Site Cultural Resource Management, Vietnam, is a participatory example of projects for Cultural Resource Management consulting. Council of Indigenous Peoples (Taiwan)—International Performance Facilitator In the mid-1990s the Amis of eastern coastal Taiwan as part of a movement for ethnic awareness requested me to organize and facilitate cultural events abroad across the Asia Pacific, North America, and Eastern Europe. Institute of Cultural Affairs—Eco-cultural Traveling Seminars, Director Since 1991 the international not-for-profit organization, Institute of Cultural Affairs, asked me to organize and direct Eco-cultural Traveling Seminars for cross-cultural multilingual education in Taiwan, Sri Lanka, and Central Asia. Institute for the Development of Community Strength (INDECOS)—International Consultant INDECOS is a non-governmental organization (NGO) based in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka for assisting rural and socio-economic development. Since the 1980s my role is to help facilitate for international art and cultural programs. Arising Light: Dr B. R. Ambedkar and the Birth of a New Era in India—Director & Producer (DVD 26 min. color, English, subtitles in Mandarin, dubbed in Vietnamese, 2009). This current project is a film on the life story of B. R. Ambedkar born as a dalit (untouchable) who lived in India equal in stature to Gandhi and Nehru, yet not well known internationally. It’s about humanitarian social transformation for human rights and a concomitant resurgence of egalitarian beliefs based on Buddhism. See, http://www.arising-light.org

My work on film and teaching stems from visual study with Ron and Don Rundstrom and the

Anthropology Film Center, Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the Depts. of Anthropology and Motion Picture, University of California, Los Angeles, for producing ethnographic data and filmmaking in Sri Lanka, India, and Taiwan.

ETHICS IN FILMMAKING My films are works in the arena of ethics from beginning to end in the research process for people comprehending what is ethnographic film. It’s intended to be a product by, for, and with the people it’s intended to represent. Filming procedures have followed in this way to take into account local aesthetic values to make a visual heritage document intelligible to the viewers of a specific culture.

FILM CINEMATOGRAPHER, PRODUCER, EDITOR The Life History of Ven Hanchapola Gnanavansa Thero: A Buddhist Headmonk in Sri Lanka (1902-1979), film. Color. 52 min. This project depicts the life and routine of a Buddhist monk who was ordained in 1919 and became a guiding force in his nikaya. Prior to the project, he no experience in film making, yet he organized the script, planned the scenes, and directed the story (Sri Lanka). Available through http://www.dharmaheritage.org The Life History of a Basnayake Nilame in Sri Lanka, film. Color. 40 min. A project that depicts a shrine’s lay administrator (formally this was a royal hereditary appointment) based on his autobiography. This was the first person to break tradition as he was elected by district land officers to be director of the Kataragama Devale, Badulla (Sri Lanka). The Life and Practice of an Exorcist in Southern Sri Lanka, film. Color. 30 min. In the Southern Province, an exorcist (gurunnanse) demonstrates his ritual practice of dance, drumming, and song according to his ancestral lineage and the future of his art form by instructing the next generation (Sri Lanka).

Life as Cinema is a documentary film series reflecting local and global resurgence of Tibetan Buddhists, between Taiwan, Tibet, and Tibetan refugee communities in India and their cross-fertilizing with Buddhists making return journeys to these places. The project is an unfolding of the philosophy of film director Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche (The Cup) and inspiration from Khenpo Kunga Wangchuk’s incredible experiences – imprisoned in Tibet for more twenty years and his escape to in India.

Co-produced with Canadian filmmaker Ms Tokarchuk these narratives portray the monks as they relate to issues relevant today, adapting modern society, and determined to fulfill Buddhist humanistic visions in education and social welfare. A project supported by the Hao Ran Foundation and Taiwan Public Television Service, three segments of 60 min. Arising Light: Dr B. R. Ambedkar and the Birth of a New Era in India—Director & Producer (DVD 26 min. color, English, subtitles in Mandarin, dubbed in Vietnamese, 2009). This current project is a film on the life story of B. R. Ambedkar born as a dalit (untouchable) who lived in India equal in stature to Gandhi and Nehru, yet not well known internationally. Eleanor Zelliot (Carleton College) presents the story recounting the historical implications of Dr Ambedkar’s social and legal revolution in India. It’s about humanitarian social transformation for human rights and a concomitant resurgence of egalitarian beliefs based on Buddhism. See, http://www.arising-light.org
