SO - 1AC Asian MelancholyTournament: Loyola | Round: 3 | Opponent: James Miller | Judge: Sim Guerrero Sept/Oct 2021 AC (Generic) v1Asian American subject-formation is defined by a status of incomplete assimilation – an epistemic violence in which the racial signification homogenizes the body at a metaphysical level. And yet, something is missing… a haunting – if you will. A feeling of melancholy created by ontological gap between the real and the symbolic that could never be bridged. We are reduced to whatever stereotype thrown at us entails and our identities act to justify all social structures. That means only our theory of power can explain yours.Kim 09 (Chang-Hee Kim, The Fantasy of Asian America: Identity, Ideology, and Desire) 2009 klmd recut/tagged Nato AND a community in which the ideological transparency of a hegemonic discourse comes true. ====Forms of communication are bad since it acts to publicly humiliate and shame the Asian Body – we are always in the state as "almost, but not quite". Education spaces like debate are specifically key to exclude the Asian identity and create a sense of mis belonging.==== AND of racial melancholia and expand on Freud’s account of loss and interminable mourning. Debate is a site of Coercive mimeticism which stipulates the Asian American body and tricks one into thinking it is the identity. Process of "liberation" from within the debate space only acts to further maintain the space since it concedes the mimeticism given by the society.
