Résumé anglais The aim of this paper is to analyze identity crisis in Juan Jose Saer's La Ocasión. The paper will mainly focus on the intertextual relations between this novel and, on the one hand, the nineteenth-century realism and the genre of historical novel and, on the other hand, Proust' s The Prisoner and its major theme, jealousy. We'll examine the fragility of identities and selves for those characters who represent the very beginning of Argentinean national identity, in order to show how Saer disrupts the conventions of realist tradition. In addition, we will compare the ironical view of History in La ocasión whit other myths of homeland in Argentinian literature, specifically in Borges.
