We try to discuss here the notion of aesthetics, listening different situations. We are provoked by the world created among the opened walls of an unfinished building, occupied by students of Universidade Federal Fluminense; we are challenged by the experience of a march in struggle for housing, under the repression of the military police, an experience that comes to us with the images of a film, On the mission, with Kadu (2016), by Aiano Bemfica, Kadu Freitas e Pedro Maia de Brito. In the company of these situations, we draw some variations around the index of indetermination that the aesthetic state can create, as a way to enable the constant dispute for the present and for other ways of inhabiting a common space. We point here to some possible approaches to the notion of aesthetics, considered in a paradoxical regime of autonomy and heteronomy with other forces, implicated in the process of elaborating a community.
