1AC -- MaquiladorasTournament: Pine Crest | Round: 1 | Opponent: JP Taravella | Judge: We begin at the intersection of patriarchy and capitalism – Maquiladoras are constructed through multiple facets of oppression. The choice of the Mexican border is not an accident – Juarez has become the prime location for multinational corporations, turning the city into a gateway for U.S. prosperity at the expense of women. Maquiladoras forge women as the disposable body, creating the rape culture that encourages and legitimizes femicide. Thus we should critically analyze gender relations in economic engagement with Mexico. Economic engagement is never thought about under this year's topic as explicitly part of gender relations – this erasure makes the process of economic policy impossible and subordinates women. Women's issues must be framed as part of economic engagement in order to address safety. We must redefine the role of the intellectual – rejecting the traditional hyper-masculine understanding of policymaking. The 1AC is a starting point to which empowerment occurs in both the social and political sphere. A gender analysis is critical to understand institutional structures of violence. Understanding a dialectical relationship between politics and gender interests, at the intersection of race and class, is key to fighting for social change – the 1AC is capable for formulating coalitions and grassroots movements through transforming "politics as usual." – retreat is no longer viable. Education is the form of critical engagement left, but threatened by ongoing corporatization of policy – Only the plan can politicize the debate-space through a critical analysis of gender issues in economic engagement, infusing the ballot with political meaning. Women are silenced as soon as they speak up – an active role is important in calling for more protection. | 1/11/14 |
Bronx 1ACTournament: Bronx | Round: 2 | Opponent: Newark Science | Judge: Deep Singh Economic engagement to Latin America under this year’s topic is only understood as a projection of U.S. values onto Latin America. Before we can discuss how great “lifting the Cuba embargo is for the United States’ protection of Cuban oil spills” or how we can “make the Mexican border a safer place,” we should understand how the topic is forged to westernize the spaces historically external to us. Political and social thought… exterminate that majority. We are not intrinsic from the topic – the purpose of this year’s resolution is a call for us to be better imperialists through economic engagement. Understanding Latin America without understanding the power relations inherent only makes us agents of empire reproducing networks of oppression. Mitchell observes that the stance… opponents to do the same. The resolution is rooted in a colonial matrix of domination that westernizes and exterminates. We must question this form of knowledge production that westernizes and exterminates all other forms of knowledge. To think with knowledges… options, and part of the politics of naming. Our approach to the topic is through Zapatismo – Debate should be a place where infinite worlds are possible. Rejecting the interpretation of the topic mandated by the resolution allows for a multifaceted understanding of Latin America. Throughout the struggle,… reaped if one fights, if, that is, one dreams. The debate space allows us a unique potential to ignite and connect movements through Zapatismo in order to move beyond oppositional politics of the status quo. The Fourth World War continues unabated… the necessity of moving "beyond resistance. Globalization is the crux that makes invisible the violence and genocide of institutional racism. Within the United States, scholars… under the guise of combating terror. Part II: Altermodernity Our approach through Zapatismo is aligned within a strategy of altermodernity, moving beyond traditional understanding of power relations. The Zapatista campaigns for… relation to the common to develop the paths of altermodernity. Modernity as a power relation is tangled with Antimodernity – the two cannot escape each other. Colonized cultures’ engagement with the colonial is not one purely of destruction, but of change and resistance. Traditional understandings antimodernity as a resistance and external are mistaken. Modernity is always two… internal to modern domination. Altermodernity is necessary to move beyond the structures of modernity – it extends beyond resistance and moves past the static position of antimodernity. Up to this point we have… by rupture and transformation. | 12/2/13 |

Harvard 1AC -- DoublesTournament: Harvard | Round: Doubles | Opponent: Bronx Law AL | Judge: Panel Stith, Burch, Semple Juárez becomes the pinnacle of "Economic engagement to Mexico." The location is not an accident – it tells the story of U.S. gateway to cheap labor through exploitation of women under the broader term of "economic engagement." Economic engagement becomes the justification in which femicide is ignored and propagated – the subjugation of women is enforced through the context of economic production. Thus we affirm the use of critically informed righteous anger to disrupt dominant structures of White hetero-patriarchy. And rape is all part of the topic – It disciplines the global society under the superstructure of white imperialist hetero-patriarchy. Our response to rape should be anger to disrupt and collapse the system. A transnational feminist approach is pivotal to challenge the structures in the multiple ways in which oppression is maintained. Anger becomes the response that provides a crucial nexus which all people can connect – Tasha connects her experience and anger as an Indian women: at how rape is utilized in India under a caste system as a disciplinary tool. I connect my experience as an Asian-American: a forever foreigner that's also the obedient model minority. Anger becomes the response in which we can translate disparate experiences through our hatred of White-imperialist patriarchy, and our love for people who care about, to identify allies from enemies. Education is the form of critical engagement left, but threatened by ongoing corporatization of policy – Only the plan can politicize the debate-space through a critical analysis of gender issues in economic engagement, infusing the ballot with political meaning. | 2/18/14 |
Scranton RR --- Anger 1ACTournament: Scranton RR | Round: 4 | Opponent: BCC BG | Judge: Chris Randall The year is 20XX, everyone lives in Rape CultureThis year’s topic is shrouded in mystery, and superstition, about a country "out there" far away across the borders whom we should "economically engage," bleed dry, or "change." Whichever way you want to frame it, this year’s topic will always miss the changing gender climate, such as in Mexico, where women have the choice of dying or dying in factories. Our culture today built upon the disposability and the brutality upon women’s bodies, which takes no responsibility for the violence, the war waged, or the atrocities.Jorgensen 2004 (Sierra, "Maquiladoras and the Exploitation of Women’s Bodies", http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/sci_cult/courses/knowbody/f04/web2/sjorgensen.html)hhs-sh The choice of the Mexican border is not an accident – rather, U.S corporations choose Juarez as the prime location for exploitation.Livingston 2004 Jessica Livingston is completing her Ph.D. at the University of Florida. Her fields include cultural studies, gender studies, and contemporary literature. She is writing her dissertation, which analyzes narratives of work within the context of neoliberalism "Murder in Juárez: Gender, Sexual Violence, and the Global Assembly Line" http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/frontiers/v025/25.1livingston.html~~23authbio ~EllenDymit~ The Maquiladora model is built upon the disposability of women, perpetuating structural femicide.gilDa roDríguez, Dec 2010 (gilda rodríguez is a doctoral student in the Political Science department. She specializes in political theory and race, ethnicity, and politics, and is a Women’s Studies concentrator. Her dissertation focuses on the practices of political membership of indigenous Mexican migrants to the united States. She received a CSW travel grant, which that enabled her to present her paper "From Misogyny to Murder: everyday Sexism and Femicide in Cross-Cultural Context" at the 2010 meeting of the Western Political Science association., "From Misogyny to Murder", http://www.csw.ucla.edu/publications/newsletters/2010-2011/article-pdfs/DEC2010_Gilda.pdf This gender issue is not just an isolated appearance. The ordinary functioning of rape culture is a globalized system being challenged by fury.Revolution Newspaper – ’13 ("Outrage in India – and the Global Capitalist Culture of Rape," 1-13-2013, http://revcom.us/a/291/outrage-in-india-and-the-global-capitalist-culture-of-rape-en.html) Specific instances like India provide context for anger.Workers World – ’13 ("Rape, there and here," 1-9-2013, http://www.workers.org/articles/2013/01/09/rape-there-and-here/) Thus Tasha and I advocate the use of critically informed righteous anger as a strategy against the patriarchal structure dominating the world.Only a transnational feminist understanding accounts for the unique prisms in which women are violated.Grewal and Kaplan – 2000 – Professor and Chair of Women’s Studies at San Francisco State University and Chair of Women’s Studies at UC Berkeley (Inderpal Grewal and Caren Kaplan, "Postcolonial Studies and Transnational Feminist Practices," Jouvert 5.1, Autumn 2000, http://english.chass.ncsu.edu/jouvert/v5i1/grewal.htm) Feminine anger, like waves, wears down instead of props up the mountain that is the male supremacist system.Susi Kaplow, 1973 ("Getting Angry" Radical Feminism Female rage is the crux of fighting patriarchy – forcing the movement beyond the domestic sphere.Julia Lesage, 1985 (Professor at University of Oregon, "Women’s Rage from Marxism and the Interpretation of Culture", University of Illinois Press | 12/5/13 |
