Where Learning is: Metaphors and Situated Learning in a Planning Group
通过一个市政行动学习干预案例，观察规划小组中隐喻如何推动学习，探讨语言在产生和表达情境知识中的作用，并将隐喻理解为组织产物而非语言或心理材料。
Organizational learning is a root metaphor which sets organizational processes in relation to knowledge and knowing. An action-learning intervention in a municipality provides the stage for observing several metaphors at work in advancing learning within the planning group. The aim of the paper is to explore the role of language in producing and expressing situated knowledge and to further the interpretation of metaphors as organizational artifacts instead of linguistic or mental materials. The understanding of metaphors is always a creative endeavour, and metaphors can be both facilitators of learning and the tangible manifestation of something learnt. Understanding metaphors as the dreamwork of language collapses the traditional distinction among metaphors either as heuristic or generative.
