JanFeb Biopower Aff - colleyvilleTournament: Colleyville | Round: 1 | Opponent: Hebron AL | Judge: Aisha Bawany Foucault Aff1ACPart 1 is the CaseCampus restrictions of free speech are assumed to benefit the good of the student body; however, faith in liberal institutions such as the government or the university is a misguided belief based on a misunderstanding of how power operates. Power is not simply the exertion of the state or an individual's will over a subordinated person, rather power exists in a field of relations and is not a traditional hierarchy of domination.Status quo limitations on speech and current speech codes have destroyed higher education as a space for open dialogue. Reclaiming the university as space for open discourse is critical to our future. Only a paradigm shift to free speech can solve.Giroux '14: Speech codes operate under the guise of an oppressive ruse of resistance that privileges elites. This biopolitical control is utilized by structures to de-mobilize political and social dissent and create docile bodies.Lippens and Crewe '09: And, these fashioned docile bodies are exposed to extreme violence and dehumanization.Dean '01: Biopower is the enabling precondition that allows for racism to be inscribed and codified into law. This saturates civil society with violence, making war structurally inevitable. Only challenging normalizing assumptions can prevent us from this fate.Mendieta '02: Thus, I affirm. Public colleges and universities in the United States ought not restrict any constitutionally protected speech.We use the resolution as a starting point for a genealogy and an interrogation of the ways in which power operates through speech and speech codes.Only individual rejections of bodies of knowledge by those bound up within them, as experts, can solve.Edkins 06: Critical analysis starting from the university is key. Only higher education sparks new political subjectivities capable of challenging normativity.Evans and Pollard '14: ====Our genealogy is an ongoing process that resists normalization. ==== Part 2 is FrameworkCriticism is the ultimate responsibility of intellectuals, necessary to ensure that reforms and revolutions don't replicate the problems they seek to address. The ballot represents an endorsement of a critical genealogy designed to unmask the ways in which power operates.Michel Foucault, Professor, College de France, "Human Nature: Justice Versus Power," Noam Chomsky Debates with Michel Foucault, International Philosophers Project, 1971. Available from the World Wide Web at: http://www.chomsky.info/debates/1971xxxx.htm. Because power is concerned with structuring fields of action, fighting oppression comes in the form of critical analysis against normalization of power in our lives.Taylor '09. This has 3 implications for the debate:Traditional ethical theories fail as guiding principles because they can't see the inherent harms within their framing | 2/3/17 |
JanFeb Palestine 1ACTournament: Berkeley | Round: 4 | Opponent: Kent Brown KC | Judge: Lawrence Zhou Welcome to the University of California Berkeley where recently administrators have made it clear that only an actual riot would justify canceling a fascist's on campus lecture, but where just last semester, the same administration shut down a legitimate course on Palestine resistance to colonization. As Steven Salaita notes, the distinction between each situation is a relationship to power as it relates to free speech.It's important to keep in mind that free speech, in both philosophy and practice, is attached to structures of power (seen and unseen, discernible and oblique, steady and unstable). Despite the state's professions of fairness and benevolence, free speech is never fixed or impartial. It is prosecuted according to circumstance. It is reified based on the needs of the audience. And it is conditioned by race, gender, nationality, class, religion, ideology, culture, sexuality and so forth. This is not an isolated incident, on campuses across the nation there exists a free speech exception when it comes to discussions of Israel-Palestine and settler colonialism. Students, educators, and activist clubs are silenced and punished for their activism against violence occurring in Palestine.Palestine Legal 15 Zionism is an extension of the global settler colonial structure that seeks to dispossess and erase indigenous Palestinians. Anti-settler politics, dissent, and discussion is crucial to understanding and dismantling the violent project of Zionism.Salamanca et al. 2012 Thus, Resolved: Public colleges and universities in the United States ought not restrict constitutionally protected free speech.The affirmative advocacy is not a pragmatic course of action nor an acceptance of the state but rather a radical rejection of status quo settler-colonialist policies and practices that seek to silence and erase indigenous populations. Our method of anarcha-indigenism cultivates a "Meeting-Point" for ethical scholarship and resistance which Challenges multiple modes of violence with an uncompromising refusal of state involvement that is key to break down settler colonialism.Lewis 12. . (Adam Gary Lewis, Degree of Masters of Arts, Cultural Studies @ Queen's University. "Decolonizing Anarchism: Expanding Anarcha-Indigenism in Theory and Practice" ProQuest ~KevC~) We must recognize that the university is interested in the maintenance of power and domination. However, disengagement represents a privileged position that ignores settler colonial violence, as activist academics we have an ethical obligation to facilitate resistance within these spaces by mapping and detailing contradictions within the system to open the space for radical politics. This means the affirmative is prerequisite to any alternative. Recognizing that settler colonialism maintains itself in speech codes and by stifling Palestinian dissent is an example of one such institutional ethnographic method.Lewis 12. . (Adam Gary Lewis, Degree of Masters of Arts, Cultural Studies @ Queen's University. "Decolonizing Anarchism: Expanding Anarcha-Indigenism in Theory and Practice" ProQuest) The Role of the Ballot is to endorse the best methodology for decolonization. Settler colonialism is a global phenomenon that provides the impetus and structure that produces indigenous, racial violence, and neoliberalism. Anti-Settlerism requires a politics that is incommensurate with the modern world structure, any alternative that does not foreground anti-settlerism represents a compromise that only re-entrenches settlerism at home and abroad.Tuck and Yang 12 | 2/19/17 |
NovDec Sousvellience AffTournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 1 | Opponent: New Trier AP | Judge: Alex Laufer We begin in 1971, the U.S. sanctioned Counter Intelligence Program is terminated after the infiltration, surveillance, and disruption of political organizations is fully exposed to the public. The official history has rendered COINTELPRO a moment of the past, a ghost that the U.S. has put to rest in our new post-racial era – but while COINTELPRO died off, the superstructure that sustains the violence of such programs did not disappear; it simply found new conduits of power to exploit.Qualified immunity is one of these new conduits of state power – It has obscured the 1st Amendment, which creates limitations on our ability to freely watch the police.Chen 15 (Qualified Immunity Liming Access to Justice and Impeding Development of the Law", Vol. 41 No. 1, Alan K. Chen, the William M. Beaney Memorial Research Chair and professor of law at the University of Denver Sturm College of Law, where he teaches courses in constitutional law, federal courts, and public interest law, American Bar Association, http://www.americanbar.org/publications/human_rights_magazine_home/2015—vol—41-/vol—41—no—1—-lurking-in-the-shadows—the-supreme-court-s-qui/qualified-immunity-limiting-access-to-justice-and-impeding-devel.html) Just as the Citizen's Commission to Investigate the FBI broke into a field office to expose COINTELPRO, watching the watchers through sousvellience exposes the cracks of the courts and police in the name of resistance and justice.Fiske 96 – (John Fiske, Spring 1996, "Black Bodies of Knowledge: Notes on an Effective History," Cultural Critique No. 33 p. 188 - 192) The role of the ballot is to vote for the debater that best deconstructs dominate visualitySousvellience is a methodology for interrogating the way state domination and Antiblack violence projects through the state and that sets a framework that allows for remapping of society and a resurgence outside of the state. The affirmative's starting point of the "Right to Look" is a necessary to reject the dismissal of rights and challenges the root cause of state domination.Mirzoeff 11 (Nicholas, professor in the Department of Media, Culture and Communication at New York University, "The Right to Look", Duke University Press 2011, CONCEPTUALIZING COUNTERVISUALITY) Surveillance arose from the plantation. The slave was reduce to an object that was presenced through techniques such as oversight that positions black bodies as epistemological possessionsMirzoeff 11. Nicholas, professor in the Department of Media, Culture and Communication at New York University, "The Right to Look", Duke University Press 2011. The Ordering of Slavery The State and FBI have named and categorized counter watching as domestic terrorism with the same logic that created COINTELPRO – Only by filming the police can we protect organizations against state abuses of power.Bernd, 14. Candice Bernd is an editor/staff reporter at Truthout. With her partner, she is writing and producing Don't Frack With Denton, a documentary chronicling how her hometown became the first city to ban fracking in Texas, and its subsequent overturn in the state legislature. She is also a contributor to Truthout's anthology on police violence, Who Do You Serve, Who Do You Protect? Technologies of surveillance can be used to reveal hidden aspects of the surveillance state and foster resistance and activism that is necessary to reverse the conduits of state power.Garrido 15 ~Miguelangel, Berlin Forum on Global Politics, Germany.

SepOct Natives aff V1Tournament: Grapevine | Round: 1 | Opponent: Bear Creek PJ | Judge: Marlin Myrick Part 1: Case====The liberal Humanist discourse of the settler colonial state will always undermine the interests and the demands of the natives for their land. We constantly see the use of rhetoric in discussions of nuclear power framed around protecting the settler and to keep them from feeling guilty. This discussion would merely manifest around the colonizer and the colonized systems of exploitation that reproduces the grand structure of settler colonialism. ==== Meet Charley Colorado, a man part of the Navajo nation who lived in his ancestral sheepherding grounds where the United States had uranium mine shafts in 1957. Today these mines poison their people and destroy their sacred land.Brandon Loomis, the Republic, azcentral.com ====The pacific islands and southwestern regions of the United States are plagued by nuclear colonialism- the ways in which we talk about nuclear power and testing cause dramatic harms.==== From nuclear testing, uranium mining, and dumping waste has all accrued at the expense of Indigenous lives and their land.Endres 09 (Endres, Danielle.

The negative will constantly change the goal posts of what is considered "acceptable" to benefit their privileged stance in debate, this is no different than the history of broken treaties eads that have been staples of whiteness. Their interpretation of debate is an attempt to erase Indigeneity to create another space of exception which is key to maintain the sovereignty of settlerismBarker 12 | 10/15/16 |
