The paper concerns how the Polish farmers experienced and expressed the agricultural economic impasse in central Poland in the last decade. As it turned out during my fieldwork, testimonies of this socio-economic process could be often found throughout daily routines: being busy with the household, with the land, with the body. All these activities are deeply embedded in everyday life practices, collectively maintaining “ontological security” (a term coined by Anthony Giddens). Thus, the elements of the peasant's daily comments and behaviors can reveal immobility and also present an image of never-ending and absurd activities as well as a figure/sense of fields lying fallow and forests “coming back.” On the one hand, a kind of collectively expressed “prostration response” was being observed among those villagers, but on the other, these comments and complaints can stand for important social expressions, deeply rooted in an archaic folk worldview.
