Summary/Abstract: The subject of the monograph arose from two needs: theoretical and social. The reflection on “idleness” was not about fetishization of the factual state or nihilistic drafting of the end of agency, but about critical reflection on what failed, what is dependent, seemingly active, overactive, scruffy, impotent, vanishing, idle, depressing, melancholic, ineffective, discontinued, unknown or acting against idleness. On the one hand, idleness has creative potential, on the other hand, there is always someone else: the state, authorities, society, institution, group, community, individual, creator.
