family affTournament: holy cross | Round: 1 | Opponent: preround | Judge: preround Performing queerness is resistance to their overcoded idealization of heteronormativity and family gay conversion therapy is an attempt to strengthen the power of the nuclear family The nuclear family reinforces the dominant family structure. Thus the plan: that countries prohibit the production of the power of the nuclear family, gay conversion therapy State-based politics are critical to subvert heteronormativity The role of the ballot is to vote for the debater that best perfromatively and methodically rejects the starting point of the family. | 9/30/16 |
new queer pess acTournament: greenhill | Round: 5 | Opponent: sunset ab | Judge: varad agarwala gay conversion therapy is an attempt to strengthen the power of the nuclear family “Familial” ties prevent the expansion of anger, dissatisfaction, and performance of ID– the family is a poor model for revolt Thus the plan: that countries ban gay conversion therapy as a step in the right direction, to help us live in the moment, not live for the future, nothing we do matters so there is no fiating of a plan but we can still talk about this in the moment. Queers, which include homosexuals, and other deviants, are considered futureless; they are a group of sexual nihilists who stand in the way of securing a bright and hopeful future. Death becomes intimately tied to queerness while life becomes identified with heterosexuality. This accommodation ensures that the structure of heteronormativity stays in place, requiring the maintenance of other queer and stigmatized people. | 9/18/16 |
novdec the pipeline affTournament: UT | Round: 2 | Opponent: westwood rs | Judge: The criterion is resisting structural violence Structural violence transcends ethics. It pervades our thought processes and leads us to exclude and silence others and consider violence against them acceptable Winter and Leighton 99 In the face of a culture of cruelty, public Schools and higher education have the potential to restore democracy and teach the next generation how to solve structural problems Giroux 1 Education enables students to challenge structural violence and systems of oppressive authority Giroux 2 Thus the plan: the USFG Limit qualified immunity by denying immunity to School Resource Officers and School police officers part 2 is the harms Public schools are expanding their use of SROs, and courts have given them access to immunity to avoid litigation Zirkel 10 School police officers turn schools into penal institutions and facilitates incarceration of black and latino students Carbado 16 Educators construct fears of students as potential criminals and impose repressive policies as a result. This symbolic criminalization leads to actual criminalization by SROs and cyclical abuse and violence Finley 11 Violent policing in schools causes irreparable harms to youth, fueling the school to prison pipeline and robbing children of their opportunity to learn and thrive Finley 11 Qualified Immunity justifies violent force especially onto vulnerable populations Carbado 16 part 3 is the solvency Qualified immunity allows officers to be protected even when they’ve violated the law, which destroys accountability and allows for unchecked police violence. Rolling back qualified immunity is the first step towards true accountability and curbing police violence. Wright 15 Police accountability reforms in schools allow students to learn in a safe and supportive environment Hinger 16 Limiting qualified immunity allows meaningful judicial scrutiny of police actions and makes broad policy changes concerning the department as a whole possible, meaning the aff’s small step forward is necessary to start changing the institution as a whole Bernick 16 General limits on qualified immunity have historically been unsuccessful, a limit based on the type of officer rather than across the board is more effective De Stefan 16 Limiting qualified immunity challenges the notion that their violence is acceptable and begins to heal the relationship between law enforcement and the community. Civil suits are uniquely key to this healing process. | 12/9/16 |
queer pess affTournament: grapevine | Round: 5 | Opponent: harvard westlake | Judge: Nuclear reactors result in sterilization The nuclear power paradigm is built upon a profound form of reproductive futurism, operationalizing vitality and attempting to render sterile that which is vibrant 2 warrants 1) the sterilization effects of nukes only reinforces patriarchy because you lose your duty as a “man” you are “broken like the queer” 2) that energy prolongs futuristic ideals The obsession with futurist compulsory reproduction is heterosexist and fascist. Thus the plan: that countries get rid of all nuclear power production, to help us live in the moment, not live for the future, nothing we do matters so there is no fiating of a plan but we can still talk about this in the moment, ill defend da links but its not a question of no linking, but if they performativly link to the aff. Queers, which include homosexuals, and other deviants, are considered futureless; they are a group of sexual nihilists who stand in the way of securing a bright and hopeful future. Death becomes intimately tied to queerness while life becomes identified with heterosexuality. This accommodation ensures that the structure of heteronormativity stays in place, requiring the maintenance of other queer and stigmatized people. | 9/13/16 |
war porn novdecTournament: UT | Round: 4 | Opponent: | Judge: The US has become the ultimate police state, using 9/11 as a transparent policy, letting the gulf war be another non-event. The US become the global police officer, and the tactics perfected in the a military complex with constant lust for power came to the US. The officer is a simplying an extension of the American military complex. Call it the ABC of western domination. American military presence has been over taken by its own power, revealing its shallow soulless void, pushing itself towards its own self-annihilation. Live by the spectecule, die by the spectecule as the goal of the will to transparency of global military power is no longer to kill or win, but to abolish the enemy, to extinguish the light of their sky. To make war mean something, the will to reality, is the generative point of violence. The attempt to sublimate the Evil of irrationality and mystery terminates in its opposite. We are gorged with meaning, and it is killing us. The attempt to enclose the globe within semiotic reality begets implosive violence against all singularities. The communicative form of information devours its own content. Information devours its own content. The amassing of facts and evidence – and especially truth – only makes the world more unreal. Why speak when one can communicate? Everything about communication seems to have been said, but actually nothing has. This happy providence is the logical consequence of the death of communication – to speak of communication is to prove that the principle of transparent dialogue is premised on its tautological possibility. The orchestrated form of the ritual of transparency devours the singularity of both self and other. When you say “I love you” you have fallen in love with the form of language. That’s a five year old’s argument, no it’s not. Transparent communication is fundamentally obscene. Love is replaced by the simultaneity of pornography. Transparency is totalitarianism, subjecting all social relations to the dismantling of negativity. nothing but a world of machines. In this sense, the affirmation of Enlightenment ideals empties itself out. This eliminates all respect for Otherness. anayltic the 1AC is theoretical terrorism, a fundraiser to raise awareness about the flaws of awareness, about military presence in the streets of the us, an operation of theory-fiction, surreal readings of the resolution in an effusive play with language. that writes graffiti on the resolution even as it writes the resolution as graffiti. This illusory play with meaning introduces a fuzziness to the writing of the binary of life and death. | 12/9/16 |
