| Sumario: | The God character presented by the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges throughout his work, according to this bibliographical research, is the verb, the very writing that is in constant dialogue with other gods that, together, form a web of harmonic and discordant correlations that aims to break paradigms and create new linguistic/literary pacts. As a representation of this metalinguistic process, the short story O Aleph (1949) is initially defined to deal with the conception of the character as a being that expands from the proposal of the infinity of language. Therefore, the origin so debated in the text is in the fictional and poetic writing moved by the intertextuality revisited and present in various universes, especially the biblical/kabbalistic. On the other hand, the relationship of repetition inserted in the short stories and essays of the author in question evidences a new flank of possibilities to literature equated to the ideals of the library that populates the fiction and autobiography of the author. The creative word takes control of the construction of God and all its textual extensions that are replicated in theological discourses between the natural and the supernatural of the story read and retold tirelessly. |
