Wraz z zmniejszaniem funkcji rolniczych na wsie tracą dotychczasowe podstawy egzystencji, a razem z tym opowieści i podstawy tożsamości. W świecie płynnych tożsamości zależnych od globalnych trendów można poddać się biegowi wypadków i ulegać wzorom płynącym z zewnątrz, można też spróbować tworzenia nowych opowieści i budowania nowych tożsamości na podstawie przyjętej nowej specjalizacji wsi. Nie jest to proces łatwy, daje jednak szansę podmiotowości, możliwość oddziaływania na bieg wydarzeń. Dzięki nowej specjalizacji wieś może szybciej odnaleźć swoje miejsce w gospodarce wiedzy, doznań i twórczości. Zjawisko to daje się zauważyć, w małej na razie skali, także w pierwszych polskich wioskach tematycznych.
