This edited volume is a lively and timely appraisal of “ordinary cities” as they struggle to implement creative redevelopment and economic growth strategies to enhance their global competitiveness. The book is concerned with new and often unanticipated inequalities that have emerged from this new city movement. As chronicled, such cities – Cleveland (USA), Heidelberg (Germany), Oxford (UK), Groningen (Netherlands), Montpellier (France), but also cities from the Global South such as Cachoeira (Brazil) and Delhi (India) – now experience new and unexpected realities of poverty, segregation, neglect of the poor, racial and ethnic strife. To date planners, academics, and policy analysts have paid little attention to the connections between this drive in these cities to be more creative and the inequalities that have followed. This book, keenly making these connections, highlights the limited visions that have been applied in this planning drive to make these cities more creative and ultimately more globally competitive.

Policies to promote high participation in Higher Educations (HE) systems aim to deliver social justice and economic development through widening participation of under-represented groups. Degrees of Success provides a critical test of this through examination of participation and success of learners progressing to HE with a vocational background.Employing an original conceptual framework that combines the ideas of Basil Bernstein and Pierre Bourdieu the authors analyse the various transitional frictions experienced by learners with VET backgrounds on their journeys into and through the HE system. The findings indicate that including students with vocational qualifications does lead to widening participation but that their modes of participation may not provide fair access and outcomes. In part this is due to the epistemic incompatibilities between higher and vocational education which remain unresolved despite constant VET qualification reform.This book, therefore, extends the debate about widening participation beyond metaphors of barriers to access to consider the epistemic and pedagogical challenges of increasing student heterogeneity in high participation HE systems. The analysis and policy suggestions therefore have relevance for all seeking to support students' HE learning journeys, and policy makers concerned with how best to utilise HE systems as means of furthering social mobility and justice.

Tillfälligt slut
Fluchen ist in der antiken Welt ein Alltagsphänomen. Dabei setzten antike Menschen für Flüche, die besonders wirksam sein sollten, auf das geschriebene Wort. Vielhundertfach haben sich entsprechende Fluchtafeln ( defixiones) auf Blei und anderen Schriftträgern erhalten. Die Texte erlauben einen faszinierenden Einblick in eine dunkle Welt des antiken Alltags, in den Umgang mit Konkurrenzsituationen aller Art und in erlittene Unrechtserfahrungen. In diesen Texten lassen antike Menschen der Befriedigung ihrer Bedürfnisse und dem Wunsch nach Rache unter Rückgriff auf übermenschliche Mächte freien Lauf. Nicht selten wünschen sie ihrem Gegenüber dabei den Tod an den Hals. Die Beiträge in diesem Band nehmen die antiken defixiones erstmals großflächig aus exegetischer Sicht in den Blick und ziehen sie in produktiver Weise zur Interpretation neutestamentlicher Texte heran.
