Abstract
En este artículo se analizan los temas de parejas primordiales, parejas cósmicas, dualidades y fertilidad,
a través de una comparación desde las teorías del diseño, la semiótica, mitología y la comparatística visual,
con énfasis en la simbología y la mitología de la América indígena. Para esto, se toman como base
de análisis cuatro objetos arqueológicos de cerámica precolombina pertenecientes a la colección patrimonial
del Museo Nacional de Costa Rica, divididos en dos representaciones de parejas copulantes:
una de la Subregión Guanacaste y otra de la Región Central, y dos piezas fálicas, ambas de la Subregión
Diquís.
This article discusses key pairs, cosmic couples, dualities, and fertility issues through a visual comparison, from the theories of design, semiotics, mythology and the visual Summerfield, with emphasis on the symbolism and mythology of indigenous America. To do so, four artifacts of pre-Columbian pottery belonging to the heritage collection of the National Museum of Costa Rica, are divided into two groups of representations of copulantes couples: one group is composed by one artifact from the Subregion of Guanacaste and one more from the Central Region; and the other collection has two more phallic artifacts of the Subregion of Diquís.
