Pilgrim words. The performativity of word in the city of god of Saint Augustine of Hippo

The relationship between language and creation is not reduced for Saint Augustine in the resources that presents one term of the analogy to illustrate the other, but that language has a power of agency in reality whose efficacy lies in its ability to determine, contaminate, purify or entangle the relations of the ordo amoris. Throughout the City of God it can be seen as the word performa, its poten-cy is a promise in itself, its communicative possibility or impossibility are matters that for Hippo, they come from the word in relation, from the body of an inserted and incarnated word in a web of visible and invisible links that are ordered or not, according to their condition, to the divine.
