    This paper aims to analyze Juan José Saer's narrative strategy in the novel "La ocasión". The author takes over some of the characters belonging to Argentinian collective imagination -who are national mythts-, what allows him to show the pampas as a misty and insurmountable mythical place. The especial mapping of plain he draws is not only a geographic framework in which the landowner, the gaucho or immigrant face both the environment and the otherness. This may be understood as a metaphor of man's general condition. From a Lacanian orientation, the second part of this article examines the configuration of the main character from its central theme: spirit-matter dichotomy.
