Historical Invisibility- concerning the marginalization of intersectional experiences in historical narratives
ADVOCACY STATEMENT: The USFG should reduce restrictions on conversation of energy production to account for what occurs in the urban space, just as the debate community should reduce restrictions on knowledge production to account for the urban space of this community. Therefore, the ballot serves as a tool to vote for the team who best performatively and methodologically inserts “the urban” into the debate space to bring access to the political sphere.

Tournament: NDT | Round: 7 | Opponent: Texas GM | Judge: Hagwood, Odekirk, Dunn

Aaron begins with a telling of his life experiences he has had being a black gay male, and the pressures of trying to fit in society and also in the debate community. This tension creates double consciousness, where people have two identities of which they must choose one - debaters might debate in a traditional way even though this does not foster discussions about personal experience and social location in debates, and which forces people to compromise their identity in certain situations.

The 1AC is described as an act of and advocacy for quare rage as a method to aid in negotiation the veil created by double consciousness which renders the lived experiences of certain people invisible/unintelligible.

The role of the ballot/judge is to affirm quare rage and the revolutionary potential to transform the debate activity/community, as a way to negotiate the tensions created by double consciousness.  This is the best approach to debate because this is the only space where we have the ability to make these challenges.  We should focus on personal experience and social location, because this is what determines our positions within the debate community; focusing on social location can help us negotiate the tensions of double consciousness.

NOTE: cards referenced in the 1AC are the same as the above entry.

aff's negotiation of double consciousness is necessary for inner well-being and changing pedagogy

It was difficult to maintain
AND
their own struggle for self-actualization.

the neg destroys liberatory pedagogy about hierarchy - the aff isn't just about social location, it can provide understanding for these systems

Link turn: we need to confront our privilege in order to change our pedagogy - failure to acknowledge their privilege as humans means that the neg reinforces the humanist binary

failure to interrogate privilege translates to speaking for others - they make active choices about what cards to read and when to read them. focusing on questions of social location is relevant

Alcoff Linda, philosophy professor at Hunter College and CUNY, "The Problem of Speaking for Others", Cultural Critique No. 20, pg. 1-2
