Summary/Abstract: The epigraph is not random; it reflects the current intention to write a text, which would be partially a scientific interpretation based on my fieldnotes, and partially my reflections and subjective impressions obtained from fieldwork in Poland. Reflexivity as a method of anthropology inspired me to write this report. I consider my whole stay in Poland as fieldwork which I conducted using participant observation. Therefore, I rely on James Clifford’s approach to the field as habitus, the aggregate of embodied trends and practices, not just a physical place, as well as interpretation of field research as embodied spatial practice (Clifford 1997).
