1AC Golden DesertTournament: Golden Desert | Round: 1 | Opponent: All Rounds | Judge: All Rounds *Theatre of Debate 1AC*Act One: The Theatre of the OppressedWe start our speech with the personal narrative of Consuelo Alvarez, a poor resident of Oaxaca trapped within the system of Mexican neoliberalism. This was documented by Cheleen Ann-Catherine Mahar in 2010.Cheleen Ann-Catherine Mahar holds a PhD in Social Anthropology from Massey University in New Zealand and Associated Director of Studies at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales at Paris. She is a prolific writer on Bourdieu neoliberalism. (Mahar, Cheleen A. Reinventing Practice in a Disenchanted World: Bourdieu and Urban Poverty in Oaxaca, Mexico. Austin: University of Texas Press, 2010. Print.)SL The resolution’s economic logic creates a neoliberal epistemology that commits all members of the social hierarchy to standing reserve and re-entrenches structural violence, like that we saw in the narrative. You must interrogate epistemology first.Bourdieu 98 – French philosopher, previous chair of Sociology at College de France, Professor at University de Lille, Director of Studies at Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes, B. Phil. from Ecole Normale Superieure, dead (Pierre, 12/08/1998, "The essence of neoliberalism," Le Monde Diplomatique, http://mondediplo.com/1998/12/08bourdieu)//SL Structural violence is a form of ongoing and growing genocide that outweighs all nuclear war. We need to focus on discontinuing its invisibility.Gilligan 96 ~James, Professor of Psychiatry at the Harvard Medical School, Director of the Center for the Study of Violence, and a member of the Academic Advisory Council of the National Campaign Against Youth Violence, "Violence: Our Deadly Epidemic and its Causes", p. 191-196~ You can name the following The Manifesto: Rachit and I hereby stand Resolved: The United States federal government should increase its economic engagement toward Mexico, Cuba, or Venezuela by mandating that any and all international policies may only serve to improve the quality of life of those oppressed by structural violence.We defend our form of government action outlined in The Manifesto as the frontline of our advocacy, thereby retaining our own individual agency. Our 1AC is shaped by the narrative we read above, our advocacy, and our use of the debate sphere as a genesis of critical pedagogy about structural violence.Act Two: The Theatre of DebateThe role of the ballot is an endorsement of our Manifesto’s definition of economic engagement for future debate rounds. This redefines the oppressive stasis of this year’s topic and uses the judge’s role as an intellectual guide for the debate community to reshape our discussions. This endorsement is not a new and binding paradigm for the judge – rather, it is an epistemic secession from the mainframe of debate, an act of resistance that will draw more attention and solidarity to the effort to reveal and relate structural violence to the debate community and our peers.The ballot is a petition for our advocacy, not necessarily the traditional proclamation of our forensic or rhetorical superiority in this round but fully the affirmation of our advocacy as a legitimate guide for the community.We’ll defend that our discourse and advocacy will take us a step closer to eliminating structural violence. We have three internal links:First is narratives: including narratives like the one above create a more inclusive community where the effects of structural violence will be reduced. Our redefinition triggers the inclusion of the oppressed – this debate is key.Rimstead 01 ~B.A. AT YORK UNIVERSITY, M.A. AT U. DE MONTRÉAL, PH.D. AT U. DE MONTRÉAL, ROXANNE, REMNANTS OF NATION ON POVERTY NARRATIVES BY WOMEN, PG. 1-6~ Second is breaking away from indifference: the failure to incorporate the lives of those who are oppressed by our politics can only lead to more oppressive politics and eventually the failure of our politics. Our personalized brand of politics acts as a counter hegemonic means of confronting oppression in the face of such situations.Friere 70 ~Paulo, Pedagogy of the Oppressed, Chapter 1, educator and director of the Department of Cultural Extension of Recife University~ Third is higher academia: centralizing our academic insights about structural violence is key—only we can present a new vision of politics that reduces oppression and reforms political and global structures.Ornelas 12 (Raul, Professor and activist, this essay was peer reviewed in The South Atlantic Quarterly Winter "Counterhegemonies and Emancipations: Notes for a Debate") Act Three: Intersectional PedagogyIndependent of the success of our advocacy, the education from our debate is a reason to vote for the affirmative team – it’ll trigger critical engagement with the society that will create politics for social changeGiroux 12 ~Henry, Global TV Network Chair Professorship at McMaster University in the English and Cultural Studies Department, "Beyond the Politics of the Big Lie: The Education Deficit and the New Authoritarianism" June 6, 2012 http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9865-beyond-the-politics-of-the-big-lie-the-education-deficit-and-the-new-authoritarianism-http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/9865-beyond-the-politics-of-the-big-lie-the-education-deficit-and-the-new-authoritarianism~~ We have an ethical obligation to interrogate the political system and reverse the commodification of critical education. Not only does this increase civic engagement by intellectuals, it is key to combatting structural oppression and interrogating authority. Current debate practices and the economic logic of the status quo are existential risks to debate – our methodology is key to preserving critical thinking.Giroux 13 (Henry A., Truthout, Intellectuals as Subjects and Objects of Violence, 10 September 2013, http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/18704-intellectuals-as-subjects-and-objects-of-violence)//SL Our intersectional and methodological interrogation of structural oppression integrates all oppressive studies and is therefore key to effect any social change.Peterson 09 - V. Spike Peterson is a professor in the Political Science Department at the University of Arizona, with courtesy appointments in Women’s Studies, Institute for LGBT Studies, Center for Latin American Studies, and International Studies. She edited Gendered States (1992), co-authored (with Anne Sisson Runyan) Global Gender Issues (1993, 1999), and authored A Critical Rewriting of Global Political Economy (2003). Her current research investigates informalization, intersectionality, and global insecurities. (V. Spike Peterson. "Interactive and Intersectional Analytics of Globalization." Frontiers: A Journal of Women Studies 30.1 (2009): 31-40. Project MUSE. Web. 26 Dec. 2013. http://muse.jhu.edu/. pg 34)SL There is no single cause to specific manifestations of oppression. Looking at singular forms of oppression and its effects as a static monolithic force ignores other forms of oppression. Our interrogation of structural violence as a broad neoliberal product and our depiction of manifold forms of oppression in our narrative are key to an intersectional approach.Crenshaw 03 Kimberle Crenshaw. (Professor of Law and UCLA) "The intersectionality of Race and Gener discrimination" November 2003 http://www.isiswomen.org/womenet/lists/apgr-list/archive/doc00009.doc-http://www.isiswomen.org/womenet/lists/apgr-list/archive/doc00009.doc Act Four: The Policy ProposalMy partner and I suggest the following plan to alleviate structural violence: The United States federal government should invest in adequate housing for the poor in Mexico.Inadequate housing destroys economic opportunities for those living in poverty, uniquely strengthening the structural violence in Latin America====Duncan ’11 ~Jennifer, Researcher and Writer for Habitat.org, an organization that helps the poor all over the world in building and repairing houses, Causes of Inadequate Housing in Latin America and the Caribbean, p. 6~==== Housing is the cause of poverty in Mexico, bettering it will in turn reduce poverty – intervention is key.Bradshaw ’06 ~Professor of Community Studies and Development, Department of Human and Community Development, UC Davis~ | 1/31/14 |
