description The article proposes a reflection based on different literary works from science fiction, to establish an analysis focused on the tension between the biotechnological field and human subjectivity. Focusing on two works by James Graham Ballard, the iconic short story collection Vermilion Sands and his novel Crash, the author presents an intertext with film and literature. Based on a dialogue with the filmic version of Crash, directed in 1996 by David Cronenberg, and with the critical work of Donna Haraway, she introduces a hypothesis related to both the dimension of corporality and gender aspects in fictional narratives.

El artículo propone una reflexión a partir de distintas obras literarias provenientes de la ciencia ficción, para establecer un análisis centrado en la tensión entre el campo biotecnológico y la subjetividad humana. Con el foco en dos obras de James Graham Ballard, la emblemática colección de relatos cortos Vermilion Sands y su novela Crash, la autora presenta un intertexto entre el cine y la literatura. A partir de un diálogo con la versión cinematográfica de Crash, dirigida en 1996 por David Cronenberg y con la obra crítica de Donna Haraway, introduce una hipótesis atinente tanto a la dimensión de la corporalidad como a aspectos de género en las narrativas ficcionales.
