Agonism 1AC TOC Round 6
Tournament: Tournament of Champions | Round: 6 | Opponent: GBN CH | Judge: Austin Layton 1ac
Consensus is impossible within Cuban politics – a diverse variety of factions are stuck in a state of memory-war, each seeking to universalize political preferences through the construction of competing historical narratives to deny legitimacy to opposing opinions and assign blame for historical tragedy – promoting isolation rather than engagement – this process antagonizes disagreements and guarantees perpetual violence Rojas 7 (Rafael Rojas, 2011-2012 Princeton Global Scholar, teaches at the Center for Economic Research and Teaching (Centro de Investigacion y Docencia Economicas/CIDE), Mexico City, former visiting professor at Princeton and Columbia, “Chapter 15: Diaspora and Memory in Cuban Literature,” translated by John Miller and Fernando Feliu-Moggi, in Cuba: Idea of a Nation Displaced, ed. Andrea O’Reilly Herrera, SUNY Press, 2007, pp.237-250, Project MUSE) The Italian philosopher Mauricio Ferraris dedicated a complete treatise to showing the close relationship between AND in exchange for being recognized, fully, as legitimate subjects of history.
We must reorient our methods of political advocacy to prioritize these forms of slow, everyday violence – the most impactful forms are obscured by cognitive biases in information processing and dissemination Nixon 10 (Rob Nixon, Rachel Carson Professor of English, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor, p.1-14) When Lawrence Summers, then president of the World Bank, advocated thai the bank AND how our rhetorical conventions for bracketing violence routinely ignore ongoing, belated casualties.
Violence is thus not an outcome but a method of generating social consensus which employs exclusion as the means to forcibly resolve intractable political conflicts – the proximate cause of all violence and war – opening a space for political reconciliation must precede individual determinations of ethics or utility Schaap 5 (Dr. Andrew Schaap, Senior Lecturer in Politics, University of Exeter, Ph.D., M.Sc., Edinburgh, B.A. Melbourne, “1: Reconciliation and Politics,” in Political Reconciliation, Routledge, 2005, Google Book) 1¶ Reconciliation and politics¶ In an important sense, reconciliation is at odds AND , the frame within which it is staged, legislated, and executed'.¶ Therefore, the forum for Cuban politics should be open to the participation of those in the U.S. and in Cuba, which requires that the United States federal government ease restrictions on travel between the United States and Cuba. Advocating the removal of restrictions on travel is necessary to facilitate this method of political reconciliation – we cannot and should not try to prevent perspectives from engaging one another in public fora Lopez-Levy 10 (Arturo Lopez-Levy, lecturer and doctoral candidate at the Josef Korbel School of International Studies of the University of Denver, M.A. International Affairs, Columbia University, M.A. Economics, Carleton University, “Reflections on National Reconciliation,” June 2010, http://www.lexingtoninstitute.org/library/resources/documents/cuba/cuban-triangle/lopezlevy0610.pdf) The beginning of a new millennium in Cuba and its Diaspora has generated a favorable AND ¶ focus ourselves like laser beams on undermining travel restrictions in both countries.
Reconciliation does NOT mean an end to disagreement NOR an endorsement of any particular outcome – but rather an ongoing process which employs political inclusion to redirect conflict toward non-violent means – this is vital to break the cycle of perpetual violence Pérez-Stable, et al 3 (Marifeli Pérez-Stable, Professor of Sociology, Florida International University, Coordinator, Task Force on Memory, Truth, and Justice, Latin American and Caribbean Center, FIU, “Cuban National Reconciliation,” 3-24-2003, pp.33-70, http://memoria.fiu.edu/memoria/documents/Book_English.pdf) Until the late 1970s, the breach between Cubans on the island and in¶ AND our hearts, we offer readers the report, Cuban National¶ Reconciliation. Engagement – and NOT rejection – is key – rhetorical strategies which make exclusive claims to truth or value fail to reconcile antagonism and merely recreate relations of violence – we must never stop trying to engage opposing opinions in debate Ivie 7 (Robert L. Ivie, Professor of Rhetoric and Public Culture, Department of Communication and Culture, Indiana University, formerly taught at Gonzaga University, Idaho State University, Washington State University, and Texas AandM University, Ph.D., M.A., rhetoric and communication, Washington State University, “1: War is Easy,” in Dissent from War, Kumarian Press, 2007, p.1-9, Google Book) War is easy. Peace is difficult. That’s the hard reality of human history AND , stories that stir us to act ever more generously toward prospective foes.
This is particularly important in the context of academic debates like this one – practicing agonistic methods of advocacy is vital to develop the skills and subjectivity necessary to transform politics and mitigate escalation of antagonistic violence Todd and Säfström 8 (Sharon Todd, Stockholm Institute of Education, Sweden; and Carl Anders Säfström, Mälardalen University, Sweden; “Democracy, Education and Conflict: Rethinking Respect and the Place of the Ethical,” Journal of Educational Controversy, 3(1), 2008, http://www.wce.wwu.edu/Resources/CEP/eJournal/v003n001/a012.shtml) One of the cornerstones of a democratic education is a basic notion of respect for AND passionately does not disqualify them from participating meaningfully in democratic forms of life.
The ballot is key – argumentative competition is necessary to motivate the best agonistic practices – but should NOT attempt to universalize individual preferences nor endorse any particular claim to truth, value, or identity – protecting a process that is continually open to disagreement is essential to prevent escalating psychological and social violence Crosswhite 2 (James Crosswhite, Professor, Department of English, University of Oregon, Ph.D. Philosophy, UC San Diego, B.A. Philosophy, UC Santa Cruz, “Conflict in Concert: Fighting Hannah Arendt's Good Fight,” JAC, 22(4), Fall 2002, pp.948-959, http://www.jaconlinejournal.com/archives/vol22.4/crosswhite-conflict.pdf) Early in her essay, and again at the end, Roberts-Miller shakes AND has¶ my fighting gratitude for making such a thought-provoking case.

First world A tiny and ever shrinking conceptual archipelago from which 80 of the resources of our planet are administered and controlled. Second World aka ‘Geo-political Limbo’.

Third World The ex-underdeveloped countries and the communities of color within the ex-First World. Fourth World The con- ceptual place where the indigenous and deterritorialized peoples meet.

Many burning questions remain
I travel across a different America. My America is a continent (not a country) which is not described by the outlines on any of the standard maps. In my America, “West” and “North” are mere nostalgic abstract- tions- the South and the East have slipped into their mythical space. Quebec seems closer to Latin America than its Anglophone twin. My America in- cludes different people, cities, borders, and nations. The nations of Canada and the U.S., and also the multiracial neighborhoods in the larger cities all seem more like Third World micro-republics than like communities which are part of some “western democracy.”

A live performance version of Radio Nuevo Orden appeared in the film, “Naftaztec T.V.” in 1994 Debate is finally provided with an opportunity to engage and interact with some of Latin America, in the form of Cuba, Mexico, and Venezuela. With a fraught legacy of imperial tribulations, cultural, military, and symbolic exchanges, debates offer a rich opportunity for students and educators to acknowledge Latin America as something beyond another world where its tough for any impact to get to nuclear war Instead, however, debate risks approaching the topic from an instrumental attitude that reduces relation to the areas long interrogated, albeit uncritically, by debate. BASUCHARD DEBATE explains: http://bauscharddebate.com/2013/03/defining-economic-engagement/
The focus of this post is on unpacking what it means for the United States AND Intellectual property¶ - Reducing corruption¶ - Food regulation¶ - Environmental regulation
This framing of the call suggests a forgetting of just what the Newspeak of “economic engagement” really means—we are presented with the topic not because of the end of the Neo-conquest but because of its continued perpetuation Gajardo 2011 (Lorena M., founder of LETRAS and women writing collective member, Bridging p. 20-21)

we are here¶ because the neo-conquest has not stopped.
Imperialism’s body count is an atrocity William Eckhardt, Lentz Peace Research Laboratory of St. Louis, February 1990, Journal of Peace Research, Vol. 27, No. 1, jstor, p. 15-16
Wright looked at the relation between modern civilization and war in somewhat more detail, AND ethical challenge is very urgent indeed. Life itself may depend upon our choice
We have our own role to play in this……. We embrace a broader relationship to the topic locating ourselves in Nepantla, the space of risk where our bodies threaten the existing order with a social justice–instead of taking comfort we risk ostracism, by acting in ways perhaps unintelligible or troubling to those who thought they were like us—this in betweeness, this borderland, is our new debate space Koshy 2011 (Kavitha, Ph.D in Sociology candidate at Texas’s Women’s College, Bridges p. 201-203)
Being able to critically occupy liminality requires a willingness to take risks. The risk AND that together channel our collective energies toward making El Mundo Zurdo a palpable reality
Our personal recognition is a type of pragmatic activism that can transform material relaities Keating and Gonzalez-Lopez 2011 (Analouise and Gloria, Professor of Women’s Studies at Texas Women’s University and Professor of Sociology at UT-Austin respectively, Bridging p. 2) Like Anzaldua, we believe that radical transformation begins with the personal but must move AND creates bridges, and in other ways transforms her readers' thinking and actions.

The Codex reimagines elements of United and Latin American relations that participate in the history of colonial violence without being determined by them—they underscore the violence of the now and its continuity with a past Baca 2009 (Damien, Professor of writing and composition at the University of Arizona, “The Chicano Codex” College English 71.6)
On each panel of the manuscript, border violence forms a visual history of ¶ AND boundaries between ¶ ¶ the colonial past and the colonial present become infused.
The codex pains the body politic of debate by showing how that body is not permanently closed but open and being written, and how its contours are not determined in advance. We must open ourselves to debate’s brokenness, and that of ourselves Bost 2005 (Suzanne, Professor of English at University of Loyola-Chicago, “Gloria Anzaldfia’s Mestiza Pain: ¶ Mexican Sacrifice, Chicana Embodiment, and ¶ Feminist Politics” in Azlan 30.2)
Assuming that pain is no more than a signal of broken tissue overlooks ¶ the AND is still to defend, to erect boundaries, to demand repair.

Contention 2 is Framing Ethics precede political calculations – absolute hospitality must exist in extra-political spaces that are capable of dismantling the violence of sovereignty Carroll Prof of French @ UC-Irvine 2007 David MLN 122.4 project muse
To acknowledge the priority of the ethical over the political is to make demands on AND with establishing and legitimizing sovereignty; the ethical with undermining and dismantling it.
On this topic especially, it is important to insist on the inclusion of critical theory in unique forums like debate in order to achieve any form of real progress. Our radical politics offers the only hope of guiding concrete social change Valdes, 2001 (Francisco, Professor of Law at the University of Miami, Co-Director of the Center for Hispanic and Caribbean Legal Studies, B.A. from UC Berkeley, La Raza Law Journal, 12 La Raza L.J. 137, “Insisting on Critical Theory in Legal Education: Making Do While Making Waves”, lexis)
Given the sociolegal landscape of these times, this entrenched status quo is not likely AND tool that we very much need to help foster and guide social change.
We have an important role as organic intellectuals – the scholarship we create can change Latin America Robinson, 2008 (William I. Robinson, professor of sociology at the University of California, Santa Barbara, “Latin America and Global Capitalism: A Critical Globalization Perspective” pg. xii-xiii)
The truth, as Hegel said, is in the whole. That said, AND of bringing together multiple publics in developing programs that integrate theory and practice.
An endorsement of radical openness is the only way to ensure social receptiveness to difference Walls, 2006 (Laura Dassow, John H. Bennett Jr. Chair of Southern Letters at the University of South Carolina and William P. and Hazel B. White Professor of English at the University of Notre Dame, “The Search for Humboldt”, Geographical Review, Vol. 96 No. 3, p. 473-477)
Sachs's Humboldt is above all a risk taker who dares to open himself to challenge AND to widespread public attention the social and environmental destruction wrought by deforestation.
Our openness to new forms of understanding and knowledge is an effective form of resistance against status quo politics Davis, 1999 (Diane E. Davis, Professor of Political Sociology, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, “The Power of Distance: Re-Theorizing Social Movements in Latin America”, Theory and Society, Vol. 28, No. 4 (Aug., 1999), pp. 585-638, JSTOR)
Most scholars who work on Latin American social movements borrow frameworks developed by those who AND these decisions, but also their larger implications for political and social change.
The status quo focus on legal remedies to solve the everyday problems of the marginalized in Latin America fails to incorporate perspectives of individuals- this causes majoritarian takeover and destroys social justice Gilbert 5 (Lauren, Associate Professor of Law, St. Thomas University School of Law; J.D., University of Michigan School of Law, 1988; B.A., Harvard University, 1983., FIELDS OF HOPE, FIELDS OF DESPAIR: LEGISPRUDENTIAL AND HISTORIC PERSPECTIVES ON THE AGJOBS BILL OF 2003, lexis, Summer 2005) Critical legal studies scholars question the underlying legitimacy of law and the lawmaking process.

Some recent letters have appeared in The Chronicle that criticize the Editorial Board's support for AND an autonomous nation and lifting the unjust embargo. What do you think?

The third, and final, autoimmune moment is what Derrida calls "The vicious AND of abandoning the Western dream of unification and universality in all its guises.
This strategy reduces human life to a means to an end-It uses civilian suffering as leverage to enforce a political agenda and should be rejected Gordon 6 (Joy, Professor of Philosophy at Fairfield University, published in the Harvard University Press, “A Peaceful, Silent, Deadly Remedy: The Ethics Of Economic Sanctions,” Ethics and International Affairs, Volume 13, Issue 1, 4-11-06, http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com.turing.library.northwestern.edu/doi/10.1111/j.1747-7093.1999.tb00330.x/pdf)

The official transcript of political catastrophe remains privileged over a systemic account of disaster and violence because of a symbolic and bodily segregation—distance between those who live in safe communities and those who deal with structural harms regularly maintains a balkanized and mutually reinforcing set of ways to understand existence Conquergood 2002 (Dwight, Professor of Communication Studies and Performance at Northwestern, “Performance Studies” in The Drama Review 46.2, http://www.culturaldevelopment.net.au/downloads/DwightConquergood.pdf)

The status quo remains committed to understanding violence as discrete acts done by discrete agents—we need to reconceptualize violence along lines atteantive to what can and cannot appear “in public”—we must understand the slow violence now that occurs in communities daily, and how our accession to certain visions of realities constitutes and creates that violence Nixon 2011 (Rob, Professor of English at UW-Madison, Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor p. 2-3)
