Organizational Studies in Space: Stanislaw Lem and the Writing of Social Science Fiction
介绍波兰科幻作家斯坦尼斯瓦夫·莱姆的作品，认为其对组织行为研究者有重要意义，通过解读其小说《索拉里斯星》中的模仿修辞作用，探讨理性与非理性动机的辩证关系，并呼吁组织研究借鉴科幻文学的叙事技巧。
This paper seeks to introduce the oeuvre of the Polish science fiction author, Stanislaw Lem, whose work is argued to carry significance for students of organizational conduct. Singling out his most famous novel, Solaris, for particular attention, a critical interpretation is offered that selectively highlights Lem's epistemological and ontological pre-occupations concerning scientific inquiry and the human condition. These concerns are seen to resonate with contemporary issues in the field of organization studies. In particular, the rhetorical role of mimesis, viewed as a synthesis of rational and non-rational human motives, within Solaris is taken to inform a wide range of human conduct. The paper concludes by calling for a realist mode of organizational discourse that explores the dialectical relationship between what it characterizes as `solar' and `lunar' dimensions of human behaviour. A new challenge to organization studies will be not simply to learn from the substantive concerns of literary genres such as science fiction, but also to aspire after the narrative skills of their leading exponents.
