AlieNationTournament: Colleyville | Round: 2 | Opponent: Greenhill KD | Judge: Devin Hernandez Placement of space infrastructure carves a colonial geography of extraction, sacrifice and risk-made possible by the emptying of people with prior land-use regimes or territorial claims-the utilization of so-called peripheral spaces is part and parcel with the marginalization of subjects used to embody the waste of modernity, destroying any possibility of outer space participation. Klinger 19 (Julie Michelle Klinger - geographer and Assistant Professor of International Relations at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University. "Environmental Geopolitics and Outer Space" Geopolitics http://www.bu.edu/pardeeschool/files/2019/03/Environmental-Geopolitics-and-Outer-Space.pdf, DOA: 5/27/19, kbb) Reaching outer space requires Earthly infrastructure, … This reality begs the question of who or what falls to the sacrificial logics of Whiteness to inhabit the skies? Before any discussions about the privatization versus public dominion of outer space, we need to interrogate the injustices around Anti-Asian violence proliferating in our inner spaces of debate. Accessibility is a prerequisite question to ANY framework/procedural arguments, and flips predictability, teams can make because it is grounded in debate participation at the level of the body. In the fight for “Outer Space”-there is palpable anxiety invoked by the antithesis to Man’s colonizing mission. The elusive Yellow Peril. The Western imaginary of Asia becomes a site contoured by hypo- or hyper-technological terms- As proven by the barrage of DAs and Affs on the topic characterizing “Chinese adventurism as the internal link to nuke war” or “Chinese tech theft destabilizing the region”, Asian countries are cast either as aspirational allies or threatening rivals, and always used to exclude the figure of the Yellow Other. Endorsing a method of transpacific reimagining is key to interrogating disciplinary spaces in order to re-orient towards questions of land, sovereignty and the limitations of the nation-state from the starting point of the “Transpacific” while destabilizing the homogenous tropes that prop up techno-Orientalist fantasies under the guise of “realist” rhetoric. Watson, 17 The essays assembled here compose a significant scholarly intervention less because of any straightforwardly "Pacific" or … You should prioritize the retooling of rhetoric in debate – the aff illuminates and intervenes within the embedded asymmetric protocols and relations of this activity which create a counter-force to Anti-Asian violence. Wan and Young, 21 The rise of anti-Asian discourse in the United States in the twenty-first … As a communicative activity, debate must be held accountable for implicit, and asymmetric rhetorical protocols that maintain orientalist logics that predetermine what conversations are noted as valuable. Intervening at the level of debate is important to correct for baked-in bias. An aff ballot signals a rejection of Whiteness’ monopolization on contemporary discourse about China in debate. | 2/5/22 |
SeptOct - LogisticsTournament: UK Season Opener | Round: 1 | Opponent: Larry A Ryle KH | Judge: eugene toth The trading of Black flesh marks the birth of modern logistics. The first global movement of commodities required algorithmic regulation and arrangement of bodies and movement to secure financialization. Logistics has never been merely about the movement of goods, but about the control of the flow of movement and touch itself. The WTO serves here not as an external actor who can check capitalism’s excess, but rather an arrangement of governmentality that ensures the enclosure of the form of radical touch that would threaten logistics. Global public health systems are part and parcel of the larger system of medical governmentality, in so far as the pandemic industrial complex has exposed the intersection between the financialization and medical resources, while displacing the chronic morbidities as a natural artifact of neoliberal globalization. The questions of access and distribution compelled by the call for IP are emblematic of a logistical desire for control. Adams 20 Logistics operates through both material and ideological supply chains—academic resistance functions as a form of resistance against the production and flow of hegemonic knowledge. The way that we discuss the resolution matters – logistics has infiltrated every level of social production and it seeks to make debate rounds into nodes in the production line of policymaking and research. As ubiquitous as this system is – it is always vulnerable to the system glitch – neural firings that were never supposed to happen Racialized bodies are constituted by a state of attrition, enduring sociopolitical antagonisms that structure modernity and state politics, but the 1AC’s method of planned failure functions as care that exceeds corporeal death in the midst of attrition and neither begins nor ends with a single performance. The Role of the Judge should be to adopt a framework of affective solidarity with the arguments made in round to disassemble the coherence of debate’s constant desire for value creation, construction and reduction. | 9/11/21 |
SeptOct - Transpacific ReimaginingsTournament: JW Patterson Invitational | Round: 1 | Opponent: Livingston RB | Judge: Amanda Nobra
Debates surrounding IP reductions forefront a binaristic question of life/health as opposed to greed and corporate accumulation. This framing perpetuates the discourse surrounding China’s position as an international thief and aberration, antithetical to the promise of trade and liberalization needed to stave off the pandemic. Fears of China streamlining mRNA tech is rooted in techno-orientalism; this tech isn’t unique to the US and exemplifies the antagonistic relationship used to place domestic pressure on drugmakers and solidify China’s status as “Yellow Peril”. The question should not be the desirability of IP reductions in a vacuum, but a question of racialized logics at the center of the WTO IP deliberation that continue to criminalize Asian populations and stall pandemic relief. Kuchler and Williams, 21 Vaccine makers have warned US officials that … This fear of scientific espionage and rhetoric surrounding COVID stem from techno-orientalist fears that paint China as a “threat.” This new iteration of the yellow peril is compounded by economic anxieties and intensifies micro level violence. Siu and Chun, 20 The outbreak of the pandemic could not … Framing
Debate uses its tangled web of structured networks to both exclude Asian thought and keep Asian bodies indebted to the state and institutional control. This tethering keeps Asians in a state of contingency that makes suffering in the university inevitable; instead of limiting discussions to institutional reforms adopt a model that allows Asian bodies to use their performances as resistance to racialized violence. Huang and Lee, 20 Asian American studies subsists as contingency, which is to say, through undercompensated and … Endorsing a method of transpacific reimagining is key to interrogating disciplinary spaces, resisting globalized logic of labor, gender, and class, and not falling into the trap of intellectual imperialism. While we can never be completely free from the university, my method is key to not embracing the pitfalls of the current political imaginings. Watson, 17 The essays assembled here compose a significant scholarly intervention less because of any straightforwardly "Pacific" or … That’s key to artistic research, collectivity, and a vantage point to be introspective. The mere acknowledgement of political futurity isn’t enough; voting aff endorses new modes of study and gathering that goes beyond mere political recognition and reform. Normative modes of thinking, and debate, will continue to make the work of Asian bodies invisible thus increasing institutional debt under the guise of professionalization. Huang and Lee, 20 The tension between abstraction and legibility takes a different shape in Jennifer … For Asian people, reform MUST emanate from rhetoric. Symbolic resources are a valuable tool to destabilize power and resist injustice; new epistemologies safeguard against a return to a relationship of asymmetric rhetoric with Asian people. Only Asian Rhetoric has the potential to shape real change through exploration, cultivation, and conversation. What is the law, if not performative? Debates centered around WTO IP reduction forces debaters to participate in a regime of coercive mimeticism -- where we must engage in the performative structure of debate as legal roleplaying or topic analysis. Debate is a training ground for turning “We the people” into national subjects, ready to serve at the beck and call of iterative testing, clash, and institutional analysis – this performance establishes the subjection of bodies marked by entangled networks of power. So far, I have discussed the relationship of the law to performance, … | 10/8/21 |
