title: Poetic sensibilities, humanities, and wonder: Toward an e/affective sociology of sport

authors: Rinehart, Robert E.

subjects: sport

abstract: In the academy that we often call the “sociology of sport,” rarely do we allow for the existence of poets or even of poetic sensibilities. This may seem to be a strange comment, given that NASSS particularly, and the sociology of sport more generally, are seen as stemming from a proud and mostly-honored tradition of the “social sciences.” In this case, the emphasis is on “sciences”—as opposed to more humanities-oriented discussions of the social.2 I plan, initially, to provide a contextualization of how I see we have come to where we are at, so please bear with me through my rehistoricizing, or story-making, of the sociology of sport—for, in my worldview, it is all story-making.

title: Defining sets and critical sets in (0,1)-matrices.

authors: Cavenagh, Nicholas J.

subjects: (0,1)-matrix

abstract: If D is a partially filled-in (0, 1)-matrix with a unique completion to a (0, 1)-matrix M (with prescribed row and column sums), we say that D is a defining set for M. If the removal of any entry of D destroys this property (i.e. at least two completions become possible), we say that D is a critical set for M. In this note, we show that the complement of a critical set for a (0, 1)-matrix M is a defining set for M. We also study the possible sizes (number of filled-in cells) of defining sets for square matrices M with uniform row and column sums, which are also frequency squares. In particular, we show that when the matrix is of even order 2m and the row and column sums are all equal to m, the smallest possible size of a critical set is precisely m². We give the exact structure of critical sets with this property.

title: Tikanga Tainui: Tikanga whare wānanga

authors: Roa, Tom

subjects: Tikanga Māori

abstract: This paper is a preliminary report on an ongoing research project begun in 1999. The project involves consultation with Waikato-Tainui, the tāngata whenua of the Waikato region, about the construction of guidelines for University of Waikato staff (both Māori and non-Māori) who are involved in gatherings that call for adherence to Tainui protocols. Here, the emphasis is on guidelines for the conduct of pōwhiri (formal welcomes) on the University Marae.
