CURRENT RESEARCH PROJECTS

Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (ECAI) Austronesia Team, Director ECAI is an ongoing interdisciplinary GIS research project. The team’s work is based on language and culture studies assisted by support from the University of California Berkeley Shung Ye Endowment Fund. Studies are in Taiwan, Philippines, India, and Sri Lanka.

Website, http://www.ecai.org. Related projects include:

• A preliminary profile of the Sri Lankan Southern Province Dance: http://ecai.org/srilankadance

• INDECOS - Institute for Development of Community Strengths in Sri Lanka (current Website: http://indecos.org) - assisting with tsunami relief. Since the 1980s my role is to help facilitate for international art and cultural programs.

• A Profile of a Taroko Weaver including slide shows, images and maps:

http://ecai.org/austronesiaweb/ECAIaustronesia/Taiwan/TarokoWeaverProfile/index.html • Work with Taiwan and Austronesian materials includes dynamic maps and cultural

profiles, such as the Cultural Atlas of Orchid Island http://ecai.org/lan-yuatlas/index.html and the Batanes: http://ecai.org/batanesatlas

• Hosting the fishermen’s documentary Sri Lanka Malay (Melayu) Oru Boat Stitching and Origins (http://vimeo.com/19077398)

During the past twelve years, I have been working on social transformation vis-à-vis arts and crafts and aesthetics among and untouchable groups (dalit) in India, lower caste artisans in Sri Lanka, and indigenous peoples of Taiwan. My research includes visual documentation intended to be a product of a specific people. Recording procedures take into account local aesthetic values to make a visual heritage document intelligible to the viewers of the society it represents and general public of the international community.

Presently I am working on religious networks and navigational documentation projects. This work is on tangible community heritage GIS mapping for understanding local knowledge and scholarly exchange.

Specific Objectives 1. To assess the extent of prevalence of arts related to traditions or ethnicities especially

among disadvantaged or low caste peoples. 2. To document the prevailing crafts as a video documentary that may be used for

anthropology teaching. 3. To identify issues encountered by the remaining artists and craftsmen of the relevant

caste in continuing these arts and crafts, focusing on identity issues, and the feasibility of the trade.

4. To assess the services available for the relevant artists and craftsmen from the state, civil society organizations, tourist establishments, and private sector organizations.

5. To review the historic service of craft and its function in present-day societies. Other Selected Projects:

UNESCO—Hoi An World Heritage Site Cultural Resource Management, Vietnam, is a participatory example of projects for Cultural Resource Management consulting (see Blundell 2004). Council of Indigenous Peoples, Taiwan—International Performances, 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 The international not-for-profit organization, Institute of Cultural Affairs, has commissioned me to organize and direct Eco-cultural Traveling Seminars for cross-cultural multilingual education in Taiwan, Sri Lanka, and Central Asia, through the1990s (see Blundell 2005).

My work on film and teaching stems from visual studies with Ron and Don

Rundstrom and Anthropology Film Center, Santa Fe, New Mexico, and Departments of Anthropology and Theater Arts and Motion Picture, UCLA, for producing ethnographic materials 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 an intended product by, for, and with the people it represents. 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. Published by Dharma Heritage Foundation. 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. 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. 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.

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 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 social transformation for humanitarian rights and a concomitant resurgence of egalitarian beliefs based on Buddhism.
