1ACTournament: U of M | Round: Finals | Opponent: Edina | Judge: PAnel Status quo aid is ineffective due to a lack of accountability by the Nieto regime Observation Two: Violence The trauma of those exposed to ongoing acts of violence in Mexico is being masked and distorted as the Nieto regime continues to manipulate the image of living conditions on the ground Not only is the Mexican government complicit in this violence, but exist as active participants in its continuation; U.S. pressure is key Plan Thus the plan: The United States Federal Government should increase its funding for social programs outlined by the Merida Initiative in Mexico on the condition that Mexico accepts a National Truth and Reconciliation Commission TRC’s don’t produce objective truth, they produce narrative truth that has conciliatory power and foster participation and agency This creates the condition of possibility to move toward integrating experiences- It opens up space for political humanity and a transition to a new politics while healing survivors internally A process of Acknowledgement, Contrition, and Forgiveness is necessary to expose, treat, and heal systemic conflict-anything less cannot break through the status quo barrier of latent and manifest violence Mexico will say yes to the condition- US support is critical and Nieto won’t leave it up to chance Necessity trumps and outweighs ideology- Mexico needs US support on drug war Prioritizing everyday violence is key- responding to it later causes error replication and movement burn out, only re-orienting focus away from macro-level violence produces sustainable political coalitions Critical approaches are infinitely regressive, will always fail, and turns themselves - multiple warrants | 11/4/13 |
1AC OveridenificationTournament: minnesota | Round: Finals | Opponent: wiki | Judge: 1 1ACPlanPlan: The United States federal government should substantially increase its economic engagement towards MexicoCapitalismWe begin with an image; a visceral depiction of the subject positions we will occupy in the world of our plan. Perhaps you will revel in this metaphor; perhaps you will feel uncomfortable. Most dangerously, perhaps you will feel nothing at all. But be mindful of your reaction; for it is the first step in creating the necessary crack; the initial fissure that has the power to create radical potentialHolloway, John. 2010. Crack Capitalism. Pluto Press: London. Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades Benemerita Universidad Aut6noma de Puebla. Print. 305 pp. The recognition of contradiction we force allows us to examine how social and political disenfranchisement of the peoples of Mexico is inextricably linked to current conceptions of and endorsements of United States and Mexico economic engagementRegil, Executive Director of The Jus Semper Global Alliance, 2004 ~Álvaro J. de Regil, "The Neo-Capitalist Assault in Mexico: Democracy vis-à-vis the logic of the market" Sustainable Economic Development February 2004 http://www.jussemper.org/Resources/Economic20Data/Resources/Neo-capAssaultMexico.pdf ~ This is because traditional liberal economic engagement strategies, even "reformed" ones, are not objective or neutral but rather a tool of western dominance to suppress alternative social and governmental mechanisms and assert the "correct", Northern model of economySheppard et al., Minnesota geography professor, 2010(Eric, "Quo vadis neoliberalism? The remaking of global capitalist governance after the Washington Consensus", Geoforum, 41.2, ScienceDirect) This model strips populations of their subjectivity; commodifying them into objects for extermination. This logic of profit value inherent in capitalist structures extends to our environment as well, setting in motion a continual drive for growth destroys the earth and strips life of its valueMagdoff 11 (Fred Magdoff, professor emeritus of plant and soil science at the University of Vermont, 2011, What Every Environmentalist Needs to Know about Capitalism: A Citizen’s Guide to Capitalism and the Environment. New York: Monthly Review, 2011. Print.) Today, our Mother Earth is wounded and the future of humanity is in danger SolvencyOur course of action should be read as a strategy of overidentification; our endorsement of the sham of the current system allows us to subvert the dominance of capital and attain true enjoyment and affirmation; the opening of a crack; the understanding of the contradiction between our internal emotions and our external political actionIan Parker, Professor at Manchester Metropolitan University, 2004 (Zizek: Ambivalence and oscillation, http://www.nskstate.com/appendix/articles/zizek_ianparker.php) This method of overidentification cracks capitalism; it provides the new organizational form necessary to radically transform social relations. Only through reclaiming agency as creative, experimental subjects through "other politics" can we transcend the destructive objectifying gaze of capitalism and reclaim dignity. Failure to do so risks endless assault on our value to lifeHolloway, John. 2010. Crack Capitalism. Pluto Press: London. Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades This other politics is crucial to breaking capitalist cycles of normalization. The struggle must be constant; it must be public. Overidentification provides a means for this; it forces a collective assault on capital and allows us the radical potential to start anew, rather than wallow in our grief.Zizek 11 (Slavoj, senior researcher at the Institute of Sociology, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, visiting professor at Columbia University, Princeton, Living in the End Times, Pages XI-XIII. London: Verso, 2011. Print.) Only through these acts of rebellion, struggle, and contradiction can we create new forms of economic engagement and mutual support necessary to combine our individual fissures, our individual stances against capitalism, to destroy the current value based system which threatens us allHolloway, John. 2010. Crack Capitalism. Pluto Press: London. Instituto de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades Discussions of method must pave the way for any deeper analysis; failure to start from this foundation risks further silencing of movements, allowing technocrats to retain control and preventing our cracks and fissures from joining together and breaking through the walls of dominant discourse. This makes our speech act an independent ethical reason to vote affirmative.Gunder et al., Aukland University senior planning lecturer, 2009 | 1/26/14 |
Anti-Queerness 1ACTournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 6 | Opponent: Alpharetta | Judge: Hirn This exemption stems from the classification of sex work as moral turpitude- defined as "conduct that is considered contrary to community standards of justice, honesty or good morals” The US government restricts entry This exclusion serves no material purpose given sex work’s legality in some of the US and all of Mexico. Rather the restriction is instead an attempt to secure a definition of American morality which condemns sex work. Securitization as explored in this chapter broadly refers to the presenting of an issue as This ethical prohibition against sex work is rooted in heteronormative relegation of erotic desire to private, noncommercial, home space. The demonization of bodies that refuse to conform to this understanding of desire is technology of homogenization meant to violently remove those who don’t desire correctly from society. Heterosexual culture achieves much of its metacultural intelligibility through the ideologies and institutions of intimacy Anti-queerness is the condition of possibility for all other forms of oppression. By creating a center at the bedrock of society independent of any physical characteristics, it provides the language by which all other exclusion happens. The desire to enforce heteronormative regimes of intimacy is an impulse that can only end in extinction. Because queer bodies can never be marked off by specific physical traits or location, enforcement of heteronormativity just requires progressively larger acts of violence to maintain the fiction of purification. Because threat in a world of anti-queerness is always an abstract, unmarked Other not defined by any one characteristic, we can only conceptualize threats as that which is difference or external. This precludes real self-examination which is necessary to solve things like wars, economics, and the environment. Plan 1AC- Solvency This is especially true in the case of anti-queer politics. The border is a sight whereby anti-queer norms are stabilized via the spectacle of exclusion of undesirable immigrants. Heterosexuality is an unstable norm, however, which requires anxious labor to sustain. Anti-Queerness needs to be conceptualized beyond the politics of homophobia. Strategies like the 1AC are key to expanding the discussion to the larger regime of repression of abnormality. Moreover, the problem of heteronormativity remains irreducible to the problem of homophobia. Putting Our understanding of desire and sexuality are socially constructed and historically contingent, producing new discourses via strategies like the plan are effective ways to make change. Because the text of the law produces discourse around the subject of law, beginning from the law is the only way to deal with that discourse. This is especially true in the context of sex work. The stigma the AFF criticizes is discursively rooted in the text of certain laws. Criticizing and changing the text of the law is a necessary first step to any emancipatory politic. Finally, moral objections to consenting adults voluntarily participating in sex work are misplaced. They stem from a desire to separate sexuality and economics that originates in the rigid understanding the place for eroticism that upholds anti-queerness. Moreover, it is this stigmatization, not sex work itself, which produce oppressive conditions for sex workers. | 11/27/13 |
