The framing of the Mediterranean as a heterotopic place summoning a strange heterochrony in E. M. Forster’s short story “Albergo Empedocle” (1903) perpetuates the notion of a queer Mediterranean whereby homoeroticism evolves organically through the convergence of past and present. Four distinct hallmarks of the heterotopic, neatly divided into four separate, numbered chapters, indicate that Forster’s first published short story resonates with Foucauldian themes and imagery ranging from the train to the museum and from the hotel to the asylum seeming to anticipate the looming radicalism of high modernism and Foucault’s considerably later formulation and notional understanding of “other” spaces. Through Forster’s queer temporality, Sicily is portrayed as a place more hospitable to odd yearnings. The construction of the Mediterranean as an affective field that triggers a distinct mode of perception and the portrayal of the frenzied awakening of the protagonists’s queerness against the backdrop of the assumed queerness of Sicily suggests that the Mediterranean becomes a paranoid projection and a place of sexual experimentation, anomalous reconfigurations of the family unit, borderline experiences, and sheer madness. The protagonist’s voyage across place and time, his progressive becoming out of sync with present time, coupled with the anachronism suggested in his reanimation of a past life, unconceal the queer eternity of the Mediterranean.
