Abstract
The proposal of the present article is to reflect on the recent organized occupations in the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte. It seeks to explore the conflicts and contradictions that involve the constitution and everyday dynamics of these spaces, for which the main theoretical contributions are taken from some concepts of Rancière and Lefebvre. We argue that their very constitution is political poiesis, and that their everyday life, marked by contradictions, heterogeneities and conflicts, indicates the impossibility of politics as an instituted order. Moreover, as differential spaces excavated in abstract space, they become a space of what differs, of what does not differ, and of the conflict that exists between them. They are part of the pro- duction-reproduction movement that changes and repeats the everyday life of the metropolis. With this, they reinsert the question on the possibility of planning in relation to what is effectively political.
