Learning as lack: Individual learning in organizations as an empowering encounter with failed imaginary constructions of the self
运用拉康精神分析理论,将个体学习视为与根本缺失的赋权性相遇,探讨学习作为自我想象建构的必然失败如何提供赋权与解放的体验,并讨论其对组织中解放性学习话语的启示。
The purpose of this article is to draw on psychoanalytic, particularly Lacanian, theorizing, to examine individual learning as an empowering encounter with fundamental lack. Specifically, I explore learning as an imaginary construction of the learner’s self that invariably fails thereby providing opportunities for the experience of empowerment and liberation. I discuss the implications this has for how we conceptualize and experience learning as an emancipatory discourse in organizations.
