What happens when we begin treating multi-stable, ambivalent and adaptive behaviors of active matter as a formative principle? The contributions of this volume investigate the potential of the processual and untamable — ranging from microbial co-designing, morphogenetic experimentation and atmospheric creation to plasticity and liveliness in architecture, history of art and scientific concepts. Walking the line between analog and digital forms, the 19 perspectives from the Cluster of Excellence "Matters of Activity" not only cross disciplinary and methodological boundaries, but also aim at installing a new material paradigm between the epistemic cultures of sciences, humanities and design. Investigating a new culture of the material Interdisciplinary views on active structures, adaptive materials and sustainability

This volume is the second book based on comparative and comprehensive data from the 2003 representative European Union Company survey of Operating hours, Working times and Employment (EUCOWE) in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and the United Kingdom. The EUCOWE project is the first representative and standardised European company survey which covers all categories of firm sizes and all sectors of the economy. This volume complements and builds on the first book published in 2007, in which the methodology and the descriptive national findings as well as some first comparative analytical results were presented. In this second book the EUCOWE research team presents in-depth cross-country analyses of the relationship between operating hours, working times and employment in the European Union. Six empirical chapters of this volume provide detailed comparative analyses of the determinants and consequences of the duration and flexibility of opening hours and operating times.
