Intertextuality, David Cronenberg, Sartre, Lovecraft, body horrorAbstract
In 2002, philosopher Eduard Punset interviewed David Cronenberg on the television program Redes. In this interview, the Canadian filmmaker claimed to have been influenced by an amalgam of writers and thinkers, including Jean-Paul Sartre and H.P. Lovecraft. In this article we analyze the intertextual interferences as well as the differences and similarities between Sartre's work and the principles of Lovecraftian cosmic horror in Cronenberg's cinema. Likewise, we trace the ideological precepts on which this intertextuality has been able to influence body horror, the horror subgenre of which Cronenberg himself disavows, although he is considered the pioneer and main exponent.
