	abstract = {<p><span>Wildfire is a global environmental {\textquoteleft}problem{\textquoteright} with significant socioeconomic and socionatural impacts that does not lend itself to simple technical fixes (Gill et\&nbsp;al., 2013: 439). In Australia, a country with a pronounced history of disastrous landscape fires, these impacts are expected to increase as the peri-urban population continues to grow and the climate continues to change. This paper draws upon the burgeoning literature on anticipatory regimes to analyse an in-depth case study of a government pilot in the highly fire-prone State of Victoria, where practitioners have utilised a simulation model to measure and intervene in the distribution of wildfire risk. The pilot presents the {\textquoteleft}calculative collective device{\textquoteright} (Callon and Muniesa, 2005) of wildfire management at a moment of what I label {\textquoteleft}calculative rearticulation{\textquoteright}, wherein figurations of the future are rebooted, reconstructed or recalibrated; such moments, I suggest, can reorient the institutionally conservative spaces {\textendash} such as environmental or risk management {\textendash} providing opportunities for practitioners and others to interrogate the existing distribution of hazards and anticipatory interventions. Through such opportunities {\textquoteleft}hazardous{\textquoteright} more-than-human landscapes can be imagined otherwise.</span></p>},
