Full description:	Classes will be devoted to the analysis of medieval and Renaissance texts on incest. We will consider all possible configurations of incest (acted, intended, imagined): father/daughter, mother/son, brother/sister, sometimes with surprising additional complications, arising in a religious or secular context. The starting point of the analysis will be the relationship of incest with silence and mystery. The texts will therefore be discussed in terms of how incest is narrated, revealed, implied or omitted, both by the narrator and by the characters.
