A Jewish-mythical character, the golem is an anthropomorphic being which is built from inanimate material and brought to life through magical procedures. In his most consolidated form, he is a clay man with a Hebrew inscription on his forehead. There are many facets to him in the different readings that have been given to him over the centuries. In all the variations, however, it is always a magic word, written or blown, that grants life to the golem. This master s thesis revisits and retells the myth, with a greater interest in the word that awakens the clay man. This work proposes that the central role of the word in the golem narrative resonates with the importance of the word in Jewish tradition. Starting from the assumption that Jewish tradition is sedimented by the intergenerational transmission of words, this work, seeking to insert itself in this context, supplements itself with a retelling of the legend of the golem for children. Thinking about the creative power of words impels us to establish parallels with literary invention. The samples of poetic writing inserted and mentioned in the text both exemplify the question and expose its complexity. The work looks at the myth of the golem as a metaphor for writing and perceives in the author of the dissertation a golem-maker himself. It is in this sense that the text allows itself to be contaminated by an idea of the multiple and amorphous golem. The result is a constellar writing, composed of fragments situated on the boundary between theory, literary prose, and autobiographical fabrication. Although it produces tensions between the fragments, this work strives not to interpret them.
