Social reality is configured and permanently re-configured from the meaning societies give to the world.From these meanings, people shape their social order; their ways of being, doing, represent in the world, organizing in this framework their daily lives.It is established as a social practice as far as it acquires enough roots, significance and objectification to give a transformative sense to its social actors and their environment.The purpose of this article is to question some perspectives from which social practice has been set up, departing decisively from the functional dimension, showing the power of the concept of social practice in the human configuration as an expression of humanity from the social imaginary.The article analyses some trends in social practice, seeking to establish a synthesis as an expression of humanity; it confronts theories and support its proposal in the logic of social imaginary to overcome the practice as mere activity and place it as socio-historical and psychosomatic stage.
