Summary/Abstract: In this article, it will be a question of a detailed and analytical reading of the incest written by Christine Angot, in order to explore the stigmas of “scriptural incest” by which the author expresses the torments of the past by transgressing the canonical rules of writing. The titular camera will be questioned and invested to show the tangled form of the novel. Moreover, intertextuality will serve as theoretical support in order to examine the contribution of inter-intra-textual clashes for a good interpretation of this “scriptural incest”.
