Abstract
This paper analyzes the construction of personal identity in Jorge Luis Borges’ poetics. It takes into account the ideas involved in his poetry, essays and prose, that do not always show coherence: the impossibilities of the self, the pantheistic approaches he uses in a highbrow game mode and, finally, the desire to attain a specific form of long-lasting and consistent personal identity, halfway between the firm denial of the self and the individualistic claim that is present in some of his work. This specific form is memory.
