Dominant Hegemony KTournament: Spring Woods Houston Memorial | Round: 2 | Opponent: HAIS | Judge: The call for social change will inevitably fail – dominance will always find a way to recreate itself. For ages, society has weathered change and revolution by ’domesticating dissent’. The dominant hegemony of the state placates the masses by decontextualizing movements and makes invisible the true scale of its control.Bailie 08 (BJ, graduate student in Composition and Rhetoric, The Laughing Man Weblog, "CRS 568," citing: ~Readings on the Rhetoric of Social Protest Eds. Charles E. Morris III and Stephen Howard Browne "Domesticating Dissent: The Kennedy’s and the Freedom Rides" John M. Murphy~, ~The Eyes on the Prize Civil Rights Reader Eds. Clayborne Carson et al. 6. "Personal Letter from Muriel and Art Lewis to Her Mother, Selma, Alabama, March 19, 1965? Muriel Lewis~, ~7. "Our God Is Marching On21" Martin Luther King, Jr.~, ~Interlude. "We The People: The Struggle Continues" Vincent Harding~, ~"Domesticating Dissent: The Kennedy’s and the Freedom Rides" John M. Murphy~, 10/28/2008) The impact is invisible power – any social missteps of the aff can reinforce hidden power that makes their impacts infinitely worse because it shapes the very foundations of thought and how people envision future possibilities. Without considering its effects, invisible power turns the aff.Gaventa 2006 (John, Professor John Gaventa is a political sociologist, educator and civil society practitioner with over 30 years experience of research, training and organisational leadership in North and South. Currently he is a Professor and Research Fellow at IDS, where he is a member of the Participation, Power and Social Change team and Director of the Development Research Centre on Citizenship, Participation and Accountability. He has written widely on issues of power, participatory development and governance, civil society and social change, "Finding the Spaces for Change: A Power Analysis," IDS Bulletin Volume 37 Number 6 November 2006, http://www.powercube.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/finding_spaces_for_change.pdf-http://www.powercube.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/finding_spaces_for_change.pdf) Probably the most insidious of ~…~they envisage future possibilities and alternatives. Gaventa Continues Later On… As argued above, the dynamics ~…~ appear as if alignments will be possible. Power has changed – it now operates on a horizontal axis that prevents the mobilization of resistance. Its fluid nature produces different tools of domination from different sources: class, race, sexuality, gender, and more are its symptoms. The shifting mode of power has fractured and polarized the academic world, splitting critical analyses and scholars into a theoretical apartheid that negates the effectivity of social and political change.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 3, Sec 3, pg 72, http://caringlabor.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/methodology-of-the-oppressed-chela-sandoval.pdf) 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) | 11/13/13 |
