对突发国际事件的公开叙述经常有助于（重新）想象不确定性是熟悉或可预测的。这一进程是社会和政治反应的基础，对身份和边界安全具有深远意义。我建议通过本体论安全原则的重新表述来阅读国际危机的早期感知，这些原则在自我认同的需要中找到了行为的动机。政治想象被证明是寻求连续的自我概念，并在熟悉和自我肯定的框架内将新的遭遇描述。本文提出了一种本体论连续性的新方法：而不是一个不变的叙事，它的安全可能在于一个持续的积极版本的自我，与他人的叙事平衡和安全的关系。在文章的后半部分，我借鉴了关于“阿拉伯之春”的采访，以说明认识到意外事件的幻想和由此产生的政治想象如何受到需要安全的自我概念的激励。
Public narratives of unexpected international events frequently help (re) imagine uncertainty as something familiar or predictable. This process underlies social and political responses and is deeply significant in relation to identity and boundary security. I propose to read early perceptions of international crises through a reformulation of ontological security principles that find motivation for behavior in self-identity needs. Political imagining is shown to seek continuous self-concepts and to routinize new encounters within familiar and self-affirming frames. This article suggests a new approach to ontological continuity: instead of an unchanging narrative, its security may rest in a continuously positive version of the self, with narratives of others balancing and securing the relationship. In the second half of the article, I draw on interviews about the "Arab Spring" to show how illusions of recognizing unexpected events and the political imagining this produces can be motivated by self-concepts in need of security.
