Affect KTournament: Spring Woods Houston Memorial | Round: 3 | Opponent: Houston Memorial CM | Judge: The ideology of the affirmative encapsulates our resistance to a singular ideological notion. This starting point for critique ensures the hierarchical backdrop of the oppression they criticize maintain itself by forcing affectual politics down a singular, pre-determined path.Deleuze and Guattari 80 (Gilles and Felix, French writers, philosophers and revolutionaries, Capitalism and Schizophrenia: A Thousand Plateaus, pg. 14-17) Transcendent structures inevitably co-opt Affect into their hierarchies of value which in turn assures all forms of exploitation continue.Beasley-Murray 09 (Jon Beasley-Murray, Assistant Professor in Hispanic Studies, including social and political theory, "PART TWO: CONSTITUTION" http://faculty.arts.ubc.ca/jbmurray/research/jbm_escalon.pdf ~~~EB~~~) Thus we advocate a revolutionary becoming-imperceptible in order to break down the binaries of the affirmative. Becoming makes the maintenance of dualisms impossible-instead it focuses on the possibility of fractured, fluid identity. This respects the singular nature of ones situation and recognizes multiplicity in the worldBirke 26 Parisi 99 (Lynda 26 Luciana, Animal Others Chapter 3, "Animal Becoming") | 11/11/13 |

Appeasement DATournament: UT | Round: 5 | Opponent: Montgomery BL | Judge: Unconditionally lifting the embargo only emboldens US adversaries – impact is prolif and miscalcBrookes 2009 (Peter is a Heritage Foundation senior fellow and a former deputy assistant secretary of defense. "KEEP THE EMBARGO, O" April 15, 2009, http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/item_Oul9gWKYCFsACA0D6IVpvL) Proliferation will be fast and destabilizing – guarantees nuclear warEvans and Kawaguchi 9 (Gareth, Chancellor of the Australian National University, an Honorary Professorial Fellow at the University of Melbourne and President Emeritus of the Brussels-based International Crisis Group, and Yoriko Kawaguchi, Member of the House of Councillors for the Liberal Democratic Party since 2005. She was Special Adviser to the Prime Minister of Japan, "Eliminating Nuclear Threats," International Commission on Nuclear Non-Proliferation and Disarmament, http://www.icnnd.org/reference/reports/ent/part-ii-3.html) | 12/9/13 |
Capitalism KTournament: UT | Round: 2 | Opponent: Kingwood AD | Judge: Capitalism is the hidden systemic backdrop to the 1AC’s politics. Despite their proclamations of radical resistance, the affirmative is trading in the politics of interpassivity, where all their frenetic energy serves as an ideological screen to permit the logic of capital to march on.Zizek 02—Professor of Philosophy @ Institute for Sociology, Ljubljana ~Slavoj, "Revolution at the Gates", pg 167-172~ Increased economic engagement with Mexico empirically wreaks neoliberal devastation and inequality. The Mexican elite have and will sell out the vast majority of the country in the name of US interest.Regil, 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 ~ Capitalism causes endless war and the creation of death zones globally, and especially in Latin America. The world of peace promised by the affirmative is a mask for capitalism’s continual production of death, dispossession, and violence as a condition of its existence.Banerjee, professor at the international graduate school of business at the University of South Australia, 2008 ~Subhabrata, Necrocapitalism, Organization Studies 2008 29: 1541~ The alternative is solidarity with revolutionary struggle against capitalism. Voting negative is a refusal of the tepid half-measures of the 1AC in favor of clearing the space for a truly just and equitable society.Marcuse, German Philosopher and Professor at Columbia and Harvard, 1969 (Herbert, member of the Frankfurt School, An Essay on Liberation, p. 85-91) *GENDER MODIFIED | 12/9/13 |
Decoloniality KTournament: UT | Round: 4 | Opponent: LBJ TF | Judge: Five centuries have passed, and Cortes is gone now. However, the spirit of his conquest remains. The deep colonial system has formed the frame through which we see the world – It is through this the colonial question of the dominant and the submissive was born, and with it slavery, environmental degradation and a world at war.Wynter 2003 (Sylvia, Professor of Romance Languages at Stanford University, "Unsettling the Coloniality of Being/Power/Truth/Freedom Colonialism exists today: supposedly beneficial policies towards target countries subjugate their populations through coercive practices that manipulate them without the physical invasion of their land. America is the new Cortes, and the search for the Aztec gold still continues…Ethical Eating No Date (members of P.A.C.E., the President’s Advisory Committee on Ethical Eating. Our purpose is to advise the President of the Unitarian Universalist Association, the Reverend Dr. Peter Morales, about ways congregations can implement the following statement of conscience. It is entitled, "Ethical Eating: Food 26 Environmental Justice," and received the overwhelming support of congregational delegates at the 2011 General Assembly, "Trade and Neo-Colonialism," http://ethicaleating.uua.org/trade) The call to engage Latin America set by the 1AC is an echo of the gold fever that plagued Cortez. Just as a dream of the Golden City drove him to the depths of Mexico, the dream of abundant resources drives them. This thirst provides the backdrop for modernity to take root, and through it, divides free land into colony.Mignolo 2005, (Walter, Duke University, "THE IDEA OF LATIN AMERICA", 2005) The alternative is to decolonize thought from the exterior of coloniality. We MUST begin from forms of subjugated knowledge to encounter counter-discourses, to encounter imperialism from the eyes of Montezuma, to encounter modernity as it acts on the modern world today and subvert hegemonic discourses.Escobar 2 ~Arturo, department of anthropology at university of north Carolina chapel hill, ""Worlds and Knowledges Otherwise": The Latin American modernity/coloniality Research Program", http://apse.or.cr/webapse/pedago/enint/escobar03.pdf~~ | 12/9/13 |
Dominant Hegemony KTournament: Spring Woods Houston Memorial | Round: 3 | Opponent: Houston Memorial CM | Judge: Probably the most insidious of the three dimensions of power, invisible power shapes the Gaventa Continues Later On… As argued above, the dynamics of power depend very much on the type of
The alternative is to adopt a form of differential consciousness that analyzes the historical context of other forms of resistance in relation to dominant forms of power. This form of topography maps out dominance and the social order and allows individuals or groups seeking change the ability to transform and deconstruct dominance.Sandoval 2K (Chela, assistant professor of Critical and Cultural theory in the Chicana/o Studies department at the University of California, Santa Barbara, "Methodology of the Oppressed," Theory out of Bounds, volume 18, Ch 2, pg 53, http://caringlabor.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/methodology-of-the-oppressed-chela-sandoval.pdf) | 11/11/13 |
Hegemony Good KTournament: Spring Woods Houston Memorial | Round: 2 | Opponent: SFA EQ | Judge: Those contributing to the… the next American humbling. Vote them down because their speech-act jeopardizes the lives of our soldiers. Complaining undermines vital resolve which is key to winning Finally, I am angry at … gain is completely unconscionable. Threats are inevitable. Retreat from primacy magnifies every international problem and escalates conflict A grand strategy based… the equivalent of a blitzkrieg. Alternative: reject the affirmative as a signal of commitment to imperial resolve. We need to actively support hegemony in academic forums The discussion of institutions … evidence to support their positions. | 11/11/13 |
IADB CPTournament: UT | Round: 2 | Opponent: Kingwood AD | Judge: PLAN: The United States federal government should propose and relinquish all responsibilities for addressing developmental factors contributing to slavery to the Inter-American Development Bank.IADB is MANDATED to focus on social issues – it has already cooperated with countries like Mexico to pass anti-trafficking initiatives in the past. They only need to actualize the regional framework to effectively prevent traffickingIDB 2008 (Inter-American Development Bank, American government group dedicated to targeting regional and local needs of countries, "REPORT ON ACTIVITIES AND PROGRAMMES ON MIGRATION, DEVELOPMENT AND REMITTANCES | 12/9/13 |
