Protecting Animals 36: Author Witi Ihimaera
No full textIn this very special episode of Knowing Animals I am joined by beloved New Zealand author Witi Ihimaera. Witi has written many books featuring nonhuman animals. He offers us a non-colonial lens through which to think about the human/nonhuman relationship

Hopkins' 'mixed insight'
No full text‘I am in so much doubt how it is best to begin that I am going to bifurcate and counterpoint myself in parallel columns.’ So begins Hopkins’ remarkable letter to Baillie, 14 May 1881. The letter divides into two neat columns. On the left, Hopkins begins, ‘On this side, what a burning shame it is that I have not [...] written to you’, and, on the right, ‘Here an ethical and Theophrastic observation’. The two lines of thought run in parallel until – their nervous energy exhausted and the poet confessing himself ‘much fagged’ – they ‘merge and surcease’ (CW, I, 440)

Fourientations and the Tutte polynomial
No full textA fourientation of a graph is a choice for each edge of the graph whether to orient that edge in either direction, leave it unoriented, or biorient it. Fixing a total order on the edges and a reference orientation of the graph, we investigate properties of cuts and cycles in fourientations which give trivariate generating functions that are generalized Tutte polynomial evaluations of the form (k + m)[superscript n−1](k + l)[superscript gT](αk + βl + m/k + m , γ k + l + δm/ k + l) for α, γ ∈ {0, 1, 2} and β, δ ∈ {0, 1}. We introduce an intersection lattice of 64 cut–cycle fourientation classes enumerated by generalized Tutte polynomial evaluations of this form. We prove these enumerations using a single deletion–contraction argument and
classify axiomatically the set of fourientation classes to which our deletion–contraction argument applies. This work unifies and extends earlier results for fourientations due to Gessel and Sagan (Electron J Combin 3(2):Research Paper 9, 1996), results for partial orientations due to Backman (Adv Appl Math, forthcoming, 2014. arXiv:1408.3962), and
Hopkins and Perkinson (Trans Am Math Soc 368(1):709–725, 2016), as well as results for total orientations due to Stanley (Discrete Math 5:171–178, 1973; Higher combinatorics (Proceedings of NATO Advanced Study Institute, Berlin, 1976).

A multi-faceted counting formula for hyperplane regions and acyclic orientations, 2012. arXiv:1205.5424). We conclude by describing how these
classes of fourientations relate to geometric, combinatorial, and algebraic objects including bigraphical arrangements, cycle–cocycle reversal systems, graphic Lawrence ideals, Riemann–Roch theory for graphs, zonotopal algebra, and the reliability polynomial.

Hopkins’ Creative Use of Heraclitean Materials
No full textGerard Manley Hopkins is best remembered for his celebratory 'nature sonnets'— 'Pied Beauty', 'God's Grandeur', and 'The Windhover'. Less than a year before his death, however, Hopkins drew on ideas associated with the ancient Greek thinker Heraclitus of Ephesus to express a darker view of nature. In 'That Nature is a Heraclitean Fire and of the Comfort of the Resurrection’ Hopkins offers a vision of nature and human existence marked by dissolution and destruction. But the poet rejects that apocalyptic vision in favor of the Christian promise of salvation: ‘in a flash, at a trumpet crash/ I am all at once what Christ is…’ In articulating his dark vision of nature Hopkins followed Heraclitus’ fragment B 30: ‘this cosmos…a fire.’ However, Heraclitus’ cosmos ‘always was, is, and will be, an ever-living fire, kindled in measures and extinguished in measures.’ It was not, therefore, the one-way descent to destruction Hopkins described
