The Chinese notion of Wu Wei that usually translated by “inaction” defines an attitude of availability to the events and situations in which we are included without having control over them. Part of Taoism, this notion can generate the ethnographic moment of anthropology made from divestment and decentralization in relation with the logic of the centre.
