This article aims to discuss Hayden White ?s proposition about the practical pasts, which has been developed in his latest works. In this interpretation, we sought to integrate both the Hayden White’s works and texts from Brazilian and foreign historians who dealt whit this very  concept,  and  from  this  dialogue  we  propose  our  hypothesis,  namely  that  the  theoretical relevance of this whitean proposition finds substantial limits, but it cannot be totally discarded for  it  involves  an  important  ethical  claim  to  the  historians.  This  claim  goes  through  a rapprochement between history and literature, one of the main points of White’s argument. This article is structured in three steps: to present the idea of practical past and its difference with the  historical  past  according to  White;  to  relate  this  conceptual  proposal  with  the  Hayden White’s previous work; finally, to make a critical balance in order to evaluate the limits and possibilities of its application to History of Historiography.
