    Creativity, society, and the hidden subtext of gender: Toward a new contextualized approach.Riane Eisler & Alfonso Montuori - 2007 - World Futures 63 (7):479 – 499.
    Conventional categories of creativity are being deconstructed after the so-called postmodern debate. This article takes this process deeper, to what we will show is the hidden subtext of gender underlying how creativity has been socially constructed. It also proposes a more contextualized approach to creativity that takes into account both its individual and social dimensions and how this relates to what Eisler (1987) has called a partnership rather than dominator model of society.

    The dynamics of cultural and technological evolution: Domination versus partnership.Riane Eisler - 2002 - World Futures 58 (2 & 3):159 – 174.
    There is growing consensus that we need a new paradigm if we are to solve the global problems that are the result of actions and policies stemming from prevailing paradigms or cognitive maps. Theories are cognitive maps. This article summarizes cultural transformation theory, which proposes that to solve our mounting global problems we need a clearer understanding of the self-organizing interaction of two basic movements in cultural evolution. The first consists of technological phase changes, including the most recent shift from (...)

  12. Nurture, nature, and caring: We are not prisoners of our genes. [REVIEW]Riane Eisler & Daniel S. Levine - 2002 - Brain and Mind 3 (1):9-52.
    This article develops a theory for how caringbehavior fits into the makeup of humans andother mammals. Biochemical evidence for threemajor patterns of response to stressful orotherwise complex situations is reviewed. There is the classic fight-or-flight response;the dissociative response, involving emotionalwithdrawal and disengagement; and the bondingresponse, a variant of which Taylor et al. (2000) called tend-and-befriend. All three ofthese responses can be explained as adaptationsthat have been selected for in evolution andare shared between humans and other mammals. Yet each of us (...)
