The Mediterranean represents for the Australian writer Patrick White a fundamental source for his imaginative development and identity construction process. The essay assesses how both in his autobiographical experience and in his fiction (especially in his short stories), the Mediterranean represents for White a liminal place in which identities are dislocated, fragmented and shaped into new ways of being, in a process of trans-formation that claims for the opportunity of identification and belonging.

Abstract
The Mediterranean represents for the Australian writer Patrick White a fundamental source for his imaginative development and identity construction process. The essay assesses how both in his autobiographical experience and in his fiction (especially in his short stories), the Mediterranean represents for White a liminal place in which identities are dislocated, fragmented and shaped into new ways of being, in a process of trans-formation that claims for the opportunity of identification and belonging.
