Sumario:The article explores some possibilities of the pandemic situation based on the hypothesis that the uncertainty that it carries with it implies not being able to take stable images of the future. That instability, although many times it has inflected towards panic and paralysis, can also be source of social invention. Under that intention, the text reviews some current operations on the unforeseen, which involve States, capitalist com-panies, social organizations, detecting various ways of linking with it.Among them, improvisation, which appears as a willingness to rearticulate knowledge, resources and projects in contexts of uncertainty. The article seeks to reflect on a use of improvisation that is not merely instrumental (such as that of capitalist valorization) but that is capable of feeding a politics of invention, understood as a fundamental feature for a politics of equality and justice.
