    This research work seeks to analyze the aesthetics of the new flesh in the films of Canadian director David Cronenberg. Undoubtedly, cinema represents a form of entertainment, but pedagogical to understand existing social issues. Of the broad cinematic genres, fiction and in particular the subgenre of punk cinema, have created spaces to articulate both utopian and dystopian situations in which humanity is confronted. Such is the case of the interference of technologies not only in everyday life, but also in the anatomical and biological body of the human being. The Canadian director's films present these scenarios of dispute between the technological and the biological, an epistemological line to understand the new humanity. Cronemberg exalts a new flesh where blood merges with oil, flesh with metal. Therefore, this research crosses cinematographic, philosophical and social views on this new confusing universe, but which is undoubtedly a path that humanity is following. For this purpose, it assumes as a biological mirror the film Videodrome (1983), which deepens these events. The main objective is to map the feature film and how it represents the new flesh. It projects the idea that the new flesh is the transformation of the body and mind, that is, the change that is made from within and the hybridization of the body with technology. In order to fulfill this objective, two approaches are presented. First, a search and bibliographic review of master's and doctoral theses with themes similar to the one proposed is carried out, which provide the researcher with specific information to create a concrete basis for what is to be written. Secondly, using the hermeneutic method, two matrices are proposed for the analysis of the filmography: the first one describes the characteristics of the characters, accompanied by an analysis of what they represent. The next one details the most relevant scenes that represent the thematic approached
