In this article, my purpose is to reflect about the possible practices around the future, outlined in different daily life and in moments of crisis. History whips time, as noted by Julio Cortá-zar, and demands the possible practices, among risks, uncertainties, vacillations and dreams, which are outlined and acted upon by humans, because the future will not be made by cyborgs. Imagined, anticipated, desired or feared, with different formats, in different moments and contexts, the futur is based on experience, which produces expectation, opening itself to the “not yet”, with hope, between the “great reasons” and the current and identical days.

Key-words:
Possible practices; Anthropology of the future; Space of experience; Horizon of expectation.
