      Wake Forest Round 1 - Neg vs Concordia 

      1NC

      FRAMEWORK GOTTA HAVE A PLAN

      CONTRADICTIONS

      Concordia reads at least two advocacy statements:

       

      First – the Double-Bind history Alt – that (Western) imperialism is an inevitable part of action, so we must “accomplish a historical critique of our own positions”.

       

       

      Second – the al-Basha alt:

       

      That the USFG should stand in solidarity with The Arab Sisters Forum for Human Rights and its leader, al-Basha

       

       

      But, al Basha WANTS more than speech. Solidarity with her would entail the kinds of “inevitably tainted” interventions the 1AC critiques:

       

      Trust Law – quoting al Basha – ‘11

      (Trust Law – “The Word on Women - Women are building a new Yemen” – April 26th –

      http://www.trust.org/trustlaw/blogs/the-word-on-women/women-are-building-a-new-yemen/)

       

      Amal al Basha, Chairperson of the Sisters

      AND

      need our friends to stand by us now.”

       

      Two implications – under all scenarios, they need to have one plan for the sake of clarification. Aff burdens are distinct from Neg ones, in that our role is to negative and our args are reactive. We can’t react if they can simultaneously shift from giving aid to impact turning all aid. We also prove the Aff’s a double-turn and links to our disad.

      "RESOLVE" PIC

      Text: In an attempt to unlearn our privilege and learn to occupy the subject position of the other, we heed the perspective that the United States federal government should stand in solidarity with The Arab Sisters Forum for Human Rights and its leader, Amal al-Basha, and consider this one of many ways to approach the issue.

       

      The aff’s use of resolve creates a universal truth – vote neg to do the aff minus the universality of the 1ac

      Marston 4 (Greg, Research Fellow at the Centre for Applied Social Research, Social Policy and Discourse Analysis, p. 14-15, google books)

       

      The positivist paradigm informs an idealized rational actor

11/11/11
  • Anti Politics

    • Tournament: | Round: | Opponent: | Judge:

    • Anti Politics - 1NC

      the 1nc links may vary from each round

      A. Link and Uniqueness

       

      First – Policy Equivocation.

       

      Equivocating on policy implementation makes poor curriculum. This also proves the solution to the Right is university students like us – a uniqueness trend they reverse.

       

      Todd Gitlin formerly served as professor of sociology and director of the mass communications program at the University of California, Berkeley, and then a professor of culture, journalism and sociology at New York University. He is now a professor of journalism and sociology and chair of the Ph.D. program in Communications at Columbia University. He was a long-time political activist( from the Left). From the Book: The Intellectuals and the Flag – 2005 – available via CIAO Books – date accessed 9/25/10 – http://www.ciaonet.org.proxy2.cl.msu.edu/book/git01/git01_04.pdf

       

      Weak thinking on the American left is especially

      AND

      secession from the world where most people live.

       

      Second – Word Games

       

      The Aff is NOT “political” in the sense our authors discuss. Re-defining “politics” to not include concrete fiated action is a word-game that makes curriculum symbolic and impractical.

       

      Chandler ‘7 (David, Centre for the Study of Democracy, Westminster, Area, Vol. 39, No. 1, p. 118-119)

      This disjunction between the human/ethical/

      AND

      and incoherent character of protest is immediately apparent.

       

       

      Third – is our long Chandler card, it:

       

      n  Proves trade-offs between forms of “politics”

      n  Makes Epistemology K of their authors

      n  Beats “link of omission” – silence on “formality” breeds passivity

       

      Chandler ‘7

      (David Chandler is Professor of International Relations at the Department of Politics and International Relations, University of Westminster –

      “The Attraction of Post-Territorial Politics: Ethics and Activism in the International Sphere” – Inaugural Lecture – May – available at: http://www.davidchandler.org/pdf/short_articles/Inaugural%20lecture.pdf)

      Howeverpolitics is no less important to

      AND

      used to understand and engage with the world. 

       

       

      B. Impacts

       

      They’ll say “conventional politics is bad – it links to our 1AC K”. That’s fine – every time they say “neg links”, we’re saying: “yes, and neg impact turns”. 

       

      Here are our impacts:

       

      First –Moving away from anti-politics vital to check extinction

       

      Small ‘6 (Jonathan, former Americorps VISTA for the Human Services Coalition,  “Moving Forward,” The Journal for Civic Commitment,  Spring, http://www.mc.maricopa.edu/other/engagement/Journal/Issue7/Small.jsp)

      What will be the challenges of the new

      AND

      a project that seeks to do just that.   

       

      Second– State-based macro-politics can succeed. Even if it can’t, the alternatives are worse.

       

      Bronner ‘4

      Stephen Eric Bronner, Distinguished Professor of Political Science and a Member of the Graduate Faculty in Comparative Literature and German Studies at Rutgers University, 2004 (Reclaiming the Enlightenment: Toward a Politics of Radical Engagement, Published by Columbia University Press, ISBN 9780231126090, p. 151-153)

      Enlightenment thinkers wished neither to abolish the state

      AND

      a world of direct democracy has been achieved.

       

      C. This position has two implications:

       

      1.       It’s a disad to the 1AC’s emphasis on critical theory and their strategy for advancing political change.

      2.       It’s a solvency arg – the systems they critique remain unchanged and their approach to curriculum will only empower the Right.
