In this article, I examine several expressions of imaginative practices to unpack the umbrella term scenario. Drawing on my long-term fieldwork on Israel’s annual Turning Point exercises, I examine actual uses of scenarios and distinguish between two different logics of imaginative practices and the modalities in which the future is governed by them, which I refer to as the scenaristic and the simulative. As I demonstrate, these two modalities can be distinguished from each other in terms of their approaches to future uncertainty, their temporalities and the role of imagination within their enactment. To further conceptually develop the logics of imagination, I draw on Deleuze’s and Bergson’s discussions of the concept of fabulation, and I suggest that scenarios and simulations represent two different logics of future-governing that are based on practices of imagination.

在本文中，我研究了一些富有想象力的实践形式，以解开总体术语方案。根据我对以色列年度转折点演习的长期实地考察，我考察了情景的实际使用，并区分了想象力实践的两种不同逻辑以及未来受其支配的方式，我将其称为场景分析和场景分析。模拟的。正如我所展示的，这两种方式可以根据它们对未来不确定性的处理方式，它们的时间性以及在其制定过程中想象力的作用而彼此区分开。为了进一步从概念上发展想象的逻辑，我借鉴了德勒兹（Deleuze）和伯格森（Bergson）关于制造概念的讨论，并且我建议场景和模拟代表了基于想象的实践的两种不同的未来治理逻辑。
