===== GSU Round 2 - Network 1NC =====

Tournament: GSU | Round: 2 | Opponent: Trinity RoYo | Judge: Montee

First off is Network:

The 1AC has failed to produce an account of Drones that takes into account the vast array of actors and actants that build the systems it discusses. About the operators, but also the computers and keyboards they use, the screens, the manufacturers of those devices, the training required to operate a drone, the psychology of its operation, the individuals on the ground, the technology required for accurate aiming – the more we think about it, the less they’ve really told us, except that it’s “imperialist.”

Our interpretation is that a non-plan affirmative must trace a network via the presentation of the 1AC.

Failure to faithfully trace the connections between social actors at every “level” of our world produces simplistic accounts with “explanations” that lack any actual content or political possibility
Latour ‘5 (Bruno, Prof. @ Sciences Po and director of the TARDE program (Theory of Actor-network and Research in Digital Environments), Reassembling the Social: An Introduction to Actor-Network Theory, pp. 128-133)
But what is a good … rather ‘objectfullness’ to be achieved.

We’ve got to do network analysis of drones in particular – otherwise our old conceptual categories will fail to grasp new complexities.
Latour ’11 (Bruno, Prof. @ Sciences Po and director of the TARDE program (Theory of Actor-network and Research in Digital Environments), “Networks, Societies, Spheres: Reflections of an Actor-Network Theorist” International Journal of Communication, V. 5, p. 802)
But what I like most … to change the social theory.
The tendency to over-explain and under¬-describe shows us totalizing entities. They jump to “empire” and “imperialism” by totalizing them. Through that, there is no possible resistance against it, entrenching a violent ressentiment. If we trace these connections, we open up new avenues for resistance.
Latour ‘5 (Bruno, Prof. @ Sciences Po and director of the TARDE program (Theory of Actor-network and Research in Digital Environments), Reassembling the Social: An Introduction to Actor-Network Theory, pp. 249-253)
But no matter how respectable … what we should aim for.

It’s not enough to add further explanation in the 2AC: the affirmative sets itself up as a priori correct: it provides little space for genuine disagreement or dialogue, which performs politics without allowing politics to continue.
Latour ’13 (Bruno, Prof. @ Sciences Po and director of the TARDE program (Theory of Actor-network and Research in Digital Environments), An Inquiry into Modes of Existence, pp. 344-345)
What makes it almost impossible … on which we could rest.

Only a politics beginning with and centered around diplomatic network analysis can mobilize action necessary to combat a climate crisis that exceeds every possible “social” explanation.

THE URGE TO SYSTEMATICALLY EXPLAIN THE WORLD CAN BE USEFUL, BUT ONLY IF WE DON’T CONFUSE IT FOR POLITICS. THEIR THEORY IS FALSELY COHERENT – WE HAVE TO LOCALIZE IT AND ASK HOW IT CAN FIT IN THE BROADER STRUGGLE TO COMPOSE A COMMON WORLD, OTHERWISE IT BECOMES A LIMITING AND DEPOLITICIZING WORLDVIEW

Study
The affirmative interrupts its intriguing study for the moment we’re waiting for: the ADVOCACY. What should we do? We should….
But the “What should we do?” question has the political situation backwards: contemporary governance and capitalism force us to constantly act, taking our impotentiality away from us. The most radical position is to reverse the question: “Can this be an instance of our not doing anything?” The impact is an infinite ressentiment and Eichmann.

The AFF imagines their presentation of mass violence as a prophylactic against the resurgence of violence, all the while ignoring that liberal moralism is the motor of modern warfare.

What distinguishes these critical texts … overpresence of the stereotypical image.

The AFF’s presentation of suffering creates a marketplace of trauma transforming wounds into a commodity for western consumption. Their politics of mourning exists by turning the other into a dead object through which we can construct a sentimental economy of pleasure and pacification. The AFF is empathetic identification as deathmaking which ensures the smooth functioning of imperialism. Their fantasy of change through investment in the law shields criticism and guises violence.

The ascetic priest of liberalism is addicted to suffering as weak form of slave morality and ressentiment. The AFF turns life into a wounded and rotting corpse they can imagine rescuing round after round. The AFF imposes a stasis on life and becoming and guarantees unending cycles of violence.**\\

Following Chapter 4’s discussion, labor as … its salvation, its ultimate victory.14

We must refuse the politics of liberalism and the economization of injury and suffering. Nothing short of an outright rejection of the entirety of liberalism ethics, aesthetics and politics will be sufficient. Our politics does not ignore the violence of the world, it refuses a particular set of represetations and values which enframe said suffering against the movement of becoming, of life. The alternative does not wish away suffering, nor can it resolve all of the violence of modernity, but it can open us up to experiencing the world, not as zombies or vampires, but as creatures of sensuous life.

**The sovereign decision in the Courts functions constantly in the Court’s discretionary decisionmaking.

**The AFF is emblematic of the scientific drive to tame life under the cartography of reason, complacent with the worst excesses of neoliberal securitization. The AFF program for political change succumbs to the belief that reason, backed by military power, is necessary for our safety. Caught between the rush of the momentary catastrophe, our ability to profit and consume said catastrophe, and the banal life-denying monotony of politics. The 1AC speeds through one catastrophe after another, checking off their opposition to governmental power box for the day, the museumification of horror of the 1AC lets reason walk us back into the camp. The AFF commodifies horror and enacts a farcical form of political engagement which enslaves passion to reason and locks us within a system of colonial governmentality which produces war mongering subject invested in their own domination.**\\
