Jamaican Vulture
No full textOverturning anthropocentric perspectives, Davin Watne creates conceptual, dialectical narratives that feed into overarching considerations of how humanity fits into the natural world, and moreover, how our attempts to dominate nature ultimately fail. Envisaging collisions involving humans, vehicles, animals and nature, Watne infuses his various works - paintings, drawings and sculpture - with witty, ironic twists that explore and reveal a range of dualities related to economy, consumerism and effects of human desire and compulsion within the larger natural world. Jamaican Vulture is one of two paintings on paper in the Oppenheimer Collection uniquely inspired by a trip Watne made to Jamaica in December 2006. Using gouache and spray paint on paper, Watne depicts a pink and blue sky invoking the fabulous Jamaican sunsets, a larger-than-life black vulture perched above a green field of cannabis and a crashed Cessna aircraft, upturned atop a dead tree obscured by the vulture's wings. The wild scavenger appears poised to investigate the wreckage in search of its next meal. The narrative conflates inferences to drug running and cultivation and an eerie conception of the natural world's adaptation to and ultimate triumph over human interference. Davin Watne earned a BFA from the Kansas City Art Institute in 1994 and is an MFA candidate at the Maryland Institute College of Art. - Heather Lustfeld

Nanny Goat
No full textConjuring an ironic lyricism, Davin Watne's painting Nanny Goat is an apt counterpart to Jamaican Vulture . These paintings portray two of three animals - vultures, goats and cats - that Watne saw while he was in Jamaica. Whereas the vulture is a wild scavenger, Watne observed goats as prolific domesticated scavengers important within Jamaican communities and economies. Similar in palette and composition to Jamaican Vulture, Nanny Goat depicts an airbrushed pink and blue sky surrounding a centrally dominant, giant brown horned goat stepping on a boulder as it forages in a field of green cannabis. Appearing both territorial and frolicsome, the goat holds a diminutive wrecked plane in its mouth. Channeling the utopian aesthetic of tourist T-shirts and black-light posters, the work is enchanting and childlike yet possesses an ominous undertone. Watne describes striving to convey a "dystopian" quality in this work reflective of the unique culture of Jamaica - an idyllic, escapist haven for tourists with an infrastructure reliant in large part upon the cultivation and distribution of marijuana that feeds its economy. Both Jamaican Vulture and Nanny Goat are exquisitely rendered and memorable works that demonstrate the consistently witty criticality of Watne's art. - Heather Lustfeld
Alienation in the novels of Sargeson and Davin. A study of four novels : I saw in my dream ; I for one...; Cliffs of Fall ; Roads from home
Get PDFThis thesis argues that, in four novels, Sargeson and Davin are writing variations on a
similar theme, which we may call simply "alienation".
At the risk of becoming tedious, these variations must be defined. We will make an
arbitrary distinction between two types of isolation. One is brought about through feelings, or emotion. The other is reached through thought, or intellect.
It is suggested that, while Sargeson writes about a solitude which is attained through the senses,
Davin concerns himself with a solitude which is
attained through the intellect. Sargeson's sympathies
are with the underdog: in this case someone who has
the worst of an encounter, and is therefore compelled
by his emotions to become an outcast. Davin's
sympathies, on the other hand, are with the overman:
in this case someone who thinks himself superior to
moral restrictions, and chooses to keep his distance
from conventional codes of behavior. For convenience,
we will usually refer to both types of solitary by a neutral word, "outsider"
: meaning a non-member of some group.
The novels, which have been chosen because they seem representative of their authors' early
work, are: I Saw in My Dream and I for One... by
Frank Sargeson; and Cliff's of Fall and Roads from
Home by Dan Davin.
Close attention will be paid to the narrative
techniques each author employs, for there appears
to be an important correspondence between that which
each is intent upon saying, and the manner in which
it is said

“The People Want the Fall of the Regime”:Schooling, Political Protest, and the Economy
Get PDFWe examine several hypotheses regarding the determinants and implications of political protest, motivated by the wave of popular uprisings in Arab countries starting in late 2010. While the popular narrative has emphasized the role of a youthful demography and political repression, we draw attention back to one of the most fundamental correlates of political activity identified in the literature, namely education. Using a combination of individual-level micro data and cross-country macro data, we highlight how rising levels of education coupled with economic under-performance jointly provide a strong explanation for participation in protest modes of political activity as well as incumbent turnover. Political protests are thus more likely when an increasingly educated populace does not have commensurate economic gains. We also find that the implied political instability is associated with heightened pressures towards democratization.
