This article presents a reflection on the concepts of fusion and fission as applied to the Mexica pantheon. We will explore how these concepts reflect both divine polymorphism and the complementarity of divine actions. The aim is to demonstrate the necessity of viewing deities not as isolated entities, but as beings integrated into a rhizomatic network, governed by the principles of duality and complementary opposites. In this context, we will also examine the dual conception of the pantheon and the relevance of distinguishing between gods and goddesses.

Nevertheless, pre-Hispanic manuscripts depict several deities with beards. This article focuses on these bearded divinities, highlighting the links between beards, power, origins and ancestrality.
The goal of this article is to test the "hard core" theory, purposed by Alfredo Lopez Austin, about mesoamerican cultural continuity, by the contrast between funerary practices developed in central Mexico on two different periods: the Preclassic (2000 BC-200 AC) and the late Postclassic (1200-1521 AC).

Literary duets express one of the most positive connections in the field. This study of Argentine novels spans the period from 2012 to 2022.

Under the shelter of their atmosphere, a vast phantasmatic repertoire emerges through transformation, contributing new elements in terms of themes to the work.
