恐怖主义和气候变化经常被视为通过各种艺术和技术表达和想象的“总体威胁”。如果这些威胁的构成看起来相似，那么采取先发制人和预防性行动的呼吁也是如此。在本文中，我们探讨了恐怖主义和气候变化的想象方式，借鉴了一个联合的历史，其中先发制人和预防是不容易分开的。然后，我们通过知识，模型和风险的想法来追踪这一点，这些知识，模型和风险的想法为当代关于这些问题的辩论提供了信息，并表明这些问题被夹在理性的愿望和通过灾难性的愿景进行情感治理之间。此外，我们认为，这些想象一个可行的未来有政治后果，非政治化和合法化的辩论，并可能带来不可想象的成为现实。因此，如果我们要在道德上与世界交往，那么接受预防性政治至关重要。
Terrorism and climate change are frequently perceived as ‘total threats’ articulated and imagined through a wide array of arts and technologies. If the construction of these threats appears similar then so are the pleas for preemptive and precautionary action. In this paper we explore the ways in which terrorism and climate change are imagined, drawing on a conjoined history in which preemption and precaution are not easily separable. We then trace this through the knowledges, models, and ideas of risk that inform contemporary debates on these issues and suggest that these are caught between a desire for rationality and affective governance through catastrophic visions. Furthermore, we argue that these imaginations of an actionable future have political consequences that depoliticize and delegitimate debate and that potentially bring the unimaginable into being. Reconceiving precautionary politics is thus vital if we are to engage ethically with the world.
