          Abstract

          Resumen La técnica de danza colectiva Contact Improvisation surgió hace casi medio siglo en Nueva York como una alteración de los códigos de contacto y de las jerarquías coreográficas; desde las primeras décadas de su desarrollo -ideológico, pedagógico o estético-, se viene produciendo una compleja discusión en torno al género. En este trabajo se analizan las distintas perspectivas del debate que se articulan en lo que se puede considerar la revista fundacional, Contact Quarterly: el cuestionamiento de la masculinidad, las ideas de neutralización y de minimización de lo sexual y varios enfoques feministas entre los que se puede incluir la teoría queer. Más que en la definición de cada una de las posiciones, nos detenemos en la observación crítica de las paradojas, tensiones y puntos de encuentro que se van reflejando en la práctica y van tejiendo una fecunda red discursiva.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract The technique of group dance named Contact Improvisation emerged almost half a century ago in New York as an alteration of contact codes and choreographic hierarchies. From the first decades of its development (i.e., ideological, pedagogical, or aesthetic), there has been a complex debate regarding gender. In this study, the different perspectives in the debate are analyzed, which are articulated in-what can be deemed as a foundational journal- Contact Quarterly: questioning of masculinity, the ideas of neutralization and minimalization of sexual topics, and various feminist approaches, as well as queer theory. Rather than the definitions of each one of the postures, we focus on the critical observation of paradoxes, tensions, and points of contact that are reflected in the practice and knit a prolific discourse net.
