An investigation into the barriers to employment for unskilled workers in Site C, Khayelitsha and Du Noon, Milnerton : does spatial mismatch theory apply?
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (leaves 53-56).Due to past South African apartheid policies and new development trends, the spatial organisation of Cape Town is dispersed and decentralised. Many disadvantaged communities, including Khayelitsha, lie on the peripheral part of the city in the south east sector, distant from job opportunities. The rate of unemployment in these peripheral areas is high. One explanation suggested in the literature for the high unemployment rate in the peripheral areas of Cape Town is the Spatial Mismatch Theory. This theory argues that the spatial organisation of cities can drive unemployment because of the negative impact of the disconnection between places of work and places ofresidence (Rospabe and Selod, 2003). This thesis investigates whether or not the spatial mismatch theory is applicable to the cases of Khayelitsha and Du Noon in Cape Town. This research comparatively explores these case studies because of their similar skill set (unskilled), the high rate of unemployment, and the geographic location of each case relative to the job opportunities. This research adds to the literature by demonstrating under which conditions this spatial mismatch is more or less of a constraint. This thesis uses a qualitative research design using semi-structured, face-to-face interviews. A total of 18 respondents were interviewed, nine from each case site. The findings show that the spatial disconnection between Site C and job opportunities often resulted in long and costly commutes to work for many Site C residents, especially to the new developments. Du Noon residents did not experience a spatial mismatch when working in the northern suburbs. However, because Du Noon's transport system is undeveloped, it often made access to Cape Town's newly developed areas difficult

Subito : Gegenwart in Rainald Goetz’ Heute Morgen-Komplex
No full textMasterarbeit, Otto-Friedrich-Universität Bamberg, 2017Das Thema von Rainald Goetz – Autor der Bücher Irre, Krieg, Kontrolliert, Festung, Heute Morgen und Schlucht – ist die Gegenwart: Wahrnehmung, Beschreibung und Kritik aus seinem gelebten Leben heraus. Leben heißt Handeln und Handeln heißt bei Rainald Goetz auch immer Schreiben.
In keinem anderen Werkabschnitt hat sich Rainald Goetz so umfassend mit der Gegenwart beschäftigt und sich so umfangreich zu ihr geäußert, wie in dem in den 90er Jahren entstandenen Heute Morgen-Komplex. Durch die Aufnahme früherer Schreibtechniken und die Ausbildung späterer können die fünf Bücher dieses Werkkomplexes, wenn nicht als repräsentativ, so doch als exemplarisch für die Poetik Rainald Goetz’ angesehen werden.
Diese Arbeit will dem Werk Rainald Goetz’ vom »Zauberort des Geistes und des Geistigen«, wie die Universität bei ihm bezeichnet wird, entgegentreten. Denn wo alle Ordnung wahnhaft ist und das wesentliche Strukturmerkmal der Welterfassung Expansion heißt, muss eine Ordnung gefunden werden, um Leben, Werk und Wirkung Rainald Goetz’ zu fassen. Die dazu notwendigen Kategorien sind Autor, Text und Leser. Anhand dieser soll der Komplex inhaltlich, formal und rezeptiv gefasst, analysiert und dargestellt werden, um Rainald Goetz’ Umgang mit der Gegenwart im Einzelnen betrachten und im Ganzen darstellen zu können.
»Und jetzt, los ihr Ärsche, ab ins Subito.«The subject of Rainald Goetz – author of the books Irre, Krieg, Kontrolliert, Festung, Heute Morgen and Schlucht – is the present: perception, description and criticism on the basis of his own life. For Goetz living means acting and acting always means writing.
In no other section of his work has Rainald Goetz dealt with the present so comprehensively and commented on it as extensively as in the Heute Morgen-Complex, created in the 90s. By including earlier writing techniques and the later development of further ones, the five books of this work complex can be regarded, if not as representative, but as exemplary for the poetics of Rainald Goetz.
This thesis seeks to counter the work of Rainald Goetz of the »magic place of spirit and the spiritual«, as the university is called by him. For where all order is delusional and the essential structural world-conception is expansion, an order must be found to grasp the life, work and impact of Rainald Goetz. The necessary categories for this purpose are author, text and reader. On this basis, the complex will be summarized, analyzed and presented in terms of content, form and receptivity, in order to be able to view Rainald Goetz’ handling of the present in detail and to present it as a whole.
»And now, you suckers, to the subito.

C. S. Lewis on Higher Education: The Pedagogy of Pleasure
No full textWhy pursue a university education? Some people answer in terms of the purpose of getting a good job. Others respond in terms of the aim of earning more money. Still others answer in terms of the goal of promoting social justice. Drawing on C. S. Lewis\u27s belief that the purpose of life is the experience of perfect happiness, Stewart Goetz explains Lewis\u27s simple but overlooked view that a person should pursue a university education for the pleasure that comes from higher-level intellectual activity. Goetz not only sharpens our understanding of Lewis\u27s life and work in higher education, but also leads us to question why we attend, study, teach, or research at a university.https://digitalcommons.ursinus.edu/faculty_books/1045/thumbnail.jp
C. S. Lewis is a Eudaimonist: Response to Goetz
No full textGoetz misunderstands my central account of EE and how it relates to Lewis. Commendation Finally, Goetz rightly stresses an important aspect of Lewis\u27 ethical thought I leave somewhat obscure in Pursuit, which is that Lewis\u27 understanding of human life and its ultimate end goes beyond what is merely moral
