K - AbolitionTournament: Loyola | Round: 1 | Opponent: Aragon ZA | Judge: Jonah Gentleman Science’s positivist imperatives and murderous inheritances render the world a living laboratory through settler colonial and slave-making violence that writes its racializing effects as the result of biologically signified traits that determine the positions of the others of EuropeKelsie 20 ~Amber E., Prof. Communication @ Wake Forest, "‘I Know Who You Are’: Antiblackness in the Speculative Rhetorics of Genetic Genealogy," dissertation, pp. 41-58tjb~ AND reveal the extent to which biotechnology is conditioned by the logic of obliteration. The affirmative has failed to theorize the state’s metastasizing capacity to shift and intensify physical, social and psychic violence. Death is inevitable – right now, institutional structures of domination create daily holocausts on us—you should reject singular focused impacts in favor of working against the ongoing extinctions of people of color. Turns their extinction first args.Rodriguez, 16 Dylan is a Professor and former Chair of the Department of Ethnic Studies at UC Riverside. He was elected Chair of the UC Riverside Academic Senate by his faculty peers in 2016. He is the author of two books: Forced Passages: Imprisoned Radical Intellectuals and the US Prison Regime (2006) and Suspended Apocalypse: White Supremacy, Genocide, and the Filipino Condition (2009). His current thinking, writing, and teaching focus on how regimes of social liquidation, cultural extermination, physiological evisceration, and racist terror become normalized features of everyday life in the "post-Civil Rights" and "post-racial" moments (Dylan Rodriguez, "Policing and the Violence of White Being: An Interview with Dylan Rodríguez," Propter Nos 1:1 (Fall 2016), True Leap Press) BL AND engage in it, we know who will be the first to disappear. Thus, vote negative for the praxes of abolition. Abolition abrogates the political-discursive limits of "an alternative demand" in favor of insurgent revolt and a radical reconfiguration of life itself. Through structural analysis and counterwar offering an alternative story against anti-Black, settler Civilization.Rodriguez 19 - Dylan, Professor of Ethnic Studies and Chair of the Academic Senate, University of California, Riverside, a founding member of Critical Resistance ("Abolition as Praxis of Human Being: A Foreword."

K - Deleuze vs MollowTournament: Loyola | Round: 6 | Opponent: King CP | Judge: Ronak Ahuja The affirmative’s focus on identity is dangerous – current society has already mobilized it for exclusion and rendered it an unproductive tool for social change. The notion of identity is predicated on assimilating dissident groups into one homogeneous conglomerate and constructing a rigid understanding of what it means to be disabled, womxn, black, queer, or etc.Static understandings of identity impose a universal understanding of what it means to be a subject. This demand for "order" creates hierarchies within society that eliminate deviant forms of life and causes all violence by overriding the experiences, affects, and intensities that shape our individuality.Nayar 99 ~Jayan Nayar, Dr. Nayar obtained his undergraduate law degree from the University of Leicester (1st Class Hons.) and his Ph.D from the University of Cambridge. His main research interests are in the fields of international law, human rights and development, social movements and theories of non-violent resistance. From 2002-2005, Dr. Nayar was seconded to the Lelio Basso International Foundation in Rome, to initiate and develop the Peoples' Law Programme. The aim of this initiative was to consolidate and elaborate on the theories and practice of alternative, non-institutional 'resistance' law-doings by peoples' movements in struggle, with a special emphasis on the role of Peoples' Tribunals towards this end. In connection with this, Dr. Nayar was a member of the International Coordinating Committee of the World Tribunal on Iraq initiative, and was an active contributor to various 'Social Forum' gatherings. Dr. Nayar teaches in the International Development Law and Human Rights LLM programme~"Orders of Inhumanity." Vol 9:599. University of Warwick. 1999.

Health and Ecological crisis requires an all-encompassing questioning of our unconscious assumptions, processes, and theories – lest a pathology for sameness ensure destruction. Ecopsychoanalysis adopts a view of the subject as embedded within a complex and interconnected ecological webbing, deconstructing individual psychoanalysis in favor of a process of fluid and experimental becoming embracing models "life" and "health" as descriptions of elements inorganic ability to be interconnected, enabling departure from static beings in favor of the possibility within fluid becomings.Joseph Dodds, 2011 AND , and as a species among the interconnected life systems of the Earth. The role of the ballot is to vote for the best methodology to cultivate subjectivity. Offense includes anything that allows subjects to explore their experiences and techniques for interacting with the outside world. Subjectivity is intrinsic to every ethical theory, but is it is ontologically priori question. Only subjectivity is able to give an account of how the subject is formulated, whereas they presuppose a subject.Guattari 4 ~ Félix Guattari was a French psychotherapist, philosopher, semiologist, and activist. He founded both schizoanalysis and ecosophy, and is best known for his intellectual collaborations with Gilles Deleuze, most notably Anti-Oedipus (1972) and A Thousand Plateaus (1980), the two volumes of Capitalism and Schizophrenia.~ "Chaosmosis an ethico-aesthetic paradigm", pg 10-12, AND , in spite of the fact that it claims to have escaped them. | 9/27/21 |
K - EcopsychoanalysisTournament: Valley | Round: 6 | Opponent: Harker SS | Judge: Saied Beckford Their faith in bureaucracy is cruelly optimistic. We have drugs for erections but not malaria - necrocapitalism and international deployment of patent protections and vaccines are built upon bodies deemed disposable for profit in a state of exception.M.I.

K - Ecopsychoanalysis v2Tournament: Valley | Round: 3 | Opponent: Iowa City West ST | Judge: Ki Radcliffe Their mapping of the world through technological reason is an extension of a despotic scientism – an attempt at rationally imposed cartography on the chaotic and inarticulable nature of the world. In reality, matter and culture exceed our control through a self-organizing vitality.Bennett 10 ~Jane Bennett is a professor of political science at John Hopkins University, she is a founder of the critical-theory journal Theory and Event, and she is a specialist in ecological philosophy~ "Vibrant Matter – A Political Ecology of Things", Duke University Press, Durham and London, pg 60-61.

K - SemiocapitalismTournament: Glenbrooks | Round: 2 | Opponent: Immaculate Heart RR | Judge: Claudia Ribera 1NCThe provision of the right to strike incorporates the core of the strike’s radicalism into the state, diffusing radical potential and erasing the spectacle of disaster from the collective imaginary.Korstanje 16 Maximiliano E Korstanje, 2016, "DIFFICULT LEGACY: a radical criticism on the book Working Through the Past," International Journal of Safety and Security in Tourism/Hospitality, available at https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Difficult-Legacy2C-a-radical-criticism-on-the-book-Korstanje/493d3ff240a12471a24b245000f16e91133513d3 AND cities attacked by international terrorism where today were commoditized as important tourist attractions.
