1AC Round 1 at UMKC (vs Oklahoma BL)

The sun shits energy in all directions, but contemporary modes of thought wish to restrict its flows to serve the regime of utility. Restricted economics prevail. For now.
Igrek 9 (Apple, prof of Philosophy @ Seattle University) “Modes of Luxurious Walking”  Postmodern Culture v. 20 #1 Sept. 2009. Project Muse.
Any discussion of-instances of expenditure" (53).
The refusal to conceptualize of energy as overflowing and without limits constitutes an attitudinal restriction on the production and use of solar energy in the status quo.
Stoekl 2007 (Allan, Professor of French and Comparative Literature at Penn State University. “Bataille’s Peak: Energy, Religion, and Postsustainability.” P. 148-149)
Bataille’s energy is-individual identity—sacrifice.
Even the resolution calls us to a scientific, utility-based notion of energy that is by its very nature restricted. We are called to feed the massive grid of stored energy that is only waiting to be put to work. This constitutes the largest restriction on solar energy in the status quo. Energy is best understood in opposition to this closed economy. Understanding the relation between human activity and the biosphere is a prerequisite to challenging utility
Vanderburg 8 (Willem, prof of Civil/Environmental Engineering @ U of Toronto) “The Most Economically Viable, and Environmentally Sustainable Alternative Energy” pg. 99-100
The successes and- energy end-use.
The closed form of energy economics has colonized the sciences and produced a flawed set of justifications to permit its foreclosure. The debate community at large in the topic discussion elevates science to the level of divinity and disallows an authentic investigation of energy that recognizes the inability of its limitation and its interaction with human activity
Schwarz and Nordmann 11 (Astrid senior researcher at the Technische Universitat Darmstadt and the University of Basel, Alfred prof of philosophy @ Darmstadt university and Centenary prof @ U of SC) “The Political Economy of Technoscience” 2011. Pg. 320-322
This reliance of- better or worse.

In response to this potentially catastrophic situation constructed by our own hubris and chosen ignorance of the universe, Georges Bataille presents us with two modes of expenditure to choose from in exerting our excess- the glorious and the catastrophic. Glorious expenditure entails things like art, music, sex, dancing, all activities not considered productive by utility based dogmatism. Catastrophic expenditure includes weapons buildup and environmental destruction
Bataille 91 (Georges. The Accursed Share. P. 21. Translated by Robert Hurley)
Human's disregard for- gloriously or catastrophically

CONTENTION TWO: IT ALL COMES BACK TO FIRE AND SHIT
We must depart from the closed economy that seeks to subordinate energy to the role of mechanized work. Thus, we affirm the elimination of the restriction on energy production imposed by the closed economy of the resolution.
A closed energy economy is contingent on the limited universe of God which seeks to reign in the energies of sin. Although religion seeks to create an austere vision of human subjectivity, it justifies the destruction of the natural world. The earth was conferred upon humanity by God to use and dispose of as we saw fit. Only a challenge to the unimpeachable authority of God has the capacity to solve
Stoekl 2007 (Allan, Professor of French and Comparative Literature at Penn State University) “Bataille’s Peak: Energy, Religion, and Postsustainability.” P.150
In this chapter-put to use
William Blake’s marriage of heaven and hell provides the optimal text for an assault on the divine. He champions the exuberance of the body and his own notion of intimate expenditure that preferred “sensual happiness” to an austere subject.  This sensual happiness violates the taboos of a closed economy of morality. Blake’s equation of Energy with Evil gives us an opportunity to understand a Bataillean Ethic- we should not Turn away from Evil-we should rather look it in the face.
Bataille 57 (Georges, French pervert) Literature and Evil pg. 70-72
Chaos can be-evil to be
The marriage of heaven and hell provides the optimal metaphor for putting the shit back in the sacred as a challenge to the scientific rationality that rules society at large and the debate space. Blake challenges the separation of the natural body from the rational part of existence and glorifies the ecstatic use of energy instead of its conservation

Marriage of Heaven and Hell by William Blake.
Blake later warns us of the ills of forgetting the dual nature of the universe. Society at large mimics the movement of the human body. The production of positivity with the end of removing all negative elements leads to cancer and certifies its own death. The energy the system has cast out will return in the form of destruction
Baudrillard 93 (Jean, The Transparency of Evil; Essays on Extreme Phenomena.  Translated by James Benedict. Verso  London – New York.  Page 106)
The uninterrupted production- the accursed share
Literature provides the optimal form of intimate expenditure by resisting the imposition of a closed economy. The media forms the message. Language is by its very nature heterological and stands opposed to the restricted economy due to the infinite meanings that can be derived from each word. Our interpretation of energy is the excess to the linguistic closed economy of the resolution
Botting and Wilson ‘01 (Fred and Scott. Bataille. P. 50-52)
As writing expands-to pose questions.  
CONTENTION THREE: THE GIFTS OF INTIMATE EXPENDITURE
The body itself forms the excess to a closed system of politics that only values the institution of governance as the one in D.C. Just as Blake challenged the separation and prohibition of bodily energy from rationality, we must acknowledge the excess of the body politic that constitutes the uncontrollable energies that cannot fit into the cramped and sterile white halls of congress.  This disallows inner experience by forcing it into the world of work, making it impossible to reclaim the value to our lives. We can only achieve real sovereignty by confronting our fear of death. Only intimate expenditure allows for this contestation to occur
Hansen and Stepputat 5 (Thomas, Finn) Sovereign Bodies: Citizens, Migrants, and States in the Postcolonial World
First, we suggest- on human bodies.
Further, Solutions to the contemporary climate crisis will be better served by a joyous squandering of energy than a grand visionary project targeted at institutional change
Clark 10 (Nigel, Senior Lecturer at Nottingham-Trent U) “Volatile Worlds, “Vulnerable Bodies : Confronting Abrupt Climate Change” 2010 27: 31 Theory Culture Society
There are more- here and now.
Eliminating the theoretical restriction on energy begins the process of glorious expenditure that allows us to reclaim our lives from focusing on working jobs we hate to buy shit we don’t need and instead allowing our creative energies to overflow and consume us. This type of expenditure is necessary in the process of confronting our own death. Reconciling our existence as limited to being carriers of energy is key to value to life.

Our counterinterpretation is that without transgression there is no limit. Our affirmation is a prerequisite to limitation because it distinguishes the inside from the outside. We affirm the limit and what lies just beyond
Allison 9 (David, prof of Philosophy @ Stonybrook U) “Transgression and the Community of the Sacred” pg. 85

In an early section -the taboo and its transgression" (OC 10: 40/E 36). 

Transgressions produce limitations, not the other way around: transgressions themselves provide the possibility of limitation—your mode of political purity annihilates  al limits—that’s Nancy later
Your interpretation moots energy- The aff is a disad to their definition. Squo interpretation of energy does not consider the connection between humanity and the biosphere. Means only the aff provides applicable education. That’s the Vanderberg evidence. 

We are part of the federal government: excess and institution are interchangeable. Our political IMAGINARY should remain open to interpretation and we should not allow the federal government as a rhetorical idea to preclude becoming
Ranciere 2006 (Jacques, Professor of Aesthetics and democratic theorist, “Democracy, Republic, Representation” in Constellations )
The democratic scandal - state and in society

Community is not formed by sameness and predictability, but rather difference and the lack of a foundational principle. The drive to put community to work to find the essence of community will destroy the activity of debate. Sameness is destruction
Nancy 86 (Jean-Luc, The Inoperable Community.  Pg. xxxviii-xli)
Finitude, or the - our finite existence. 

Calling for us to be disingenuous about our political dispositions trains us to be policy makers that are self interested and have the ability to lie to constituents and other policymakers and write off ethical concerns as “part of the game.” It guts our ability to fight oppression 

Bataille 9 (Georges, French Pervert) “The political Lie”
"The lie, it is said, -. But again it is a question of efficacy: the moral question cannot be posed. *This evidence gender modified.

They get zero percent of a link. Zero. Our aff is the opposite of the world of work that their authors indict. No one would pay to listen to us read shitty poetry so the performative act that we just initiated is one of production that gives nothing to capitalism. They’re flat out wrong.
Stokel in 7
Bataille’s model in The -affirmation of self.

Intimate expenditure solves- it undercuts the notion of exchange value by producing shit that is unusable to capitalism. Without exchange value based on utility in value there can be no capitalism. We retake production.

It's true - must break down.

Marxist analysis fails- doesn’t account for the desire for sovereignty and intimate expenditure 

Winfree 9 (Jason, associate prof of Philosophy @ CSU Stanislaus) “The Contestation of Community” Pg. 35
More narrowly construed, - palpable, practical motivations.
Perm: do both. Their attempt to focus exclusively on materiality ignores a litany of other methods and modes of inquiry. This has the effect of destroying the very coalitions that are necessary to overcome the domination they criticize. Their attempt at exclusivity is the effect of the utility based structures of society that maintain domination. Case is a prerequisite to the alt

1. We don’t provide any assistance to whiteness. Reading shitty poetry that no one wants to listen to doesn’t bolster any of the power structures of the status quo because they all function on the notion of utility.  That’s Stoekel.
   B. We’re not masking oppression- Intimate expenditure denies the totalizing regime of liberal racism in the academy that allows whiteness to remain masked. Your authors are not talking about poop
   Dorfman 2 (Benjamin, SPIRIT School for Postgraduate Interdisciplinary Research on Interculturalism and Transnationality) “UTOPIC RENUNCIATIONS, “UNITY IN DIVERSITY”: THE CONTEMPORARY, FOUCAULT, BATAILLE AND PROBLEMATICS IN POSTMODERN HISTORICAL THEORY” pg. 17
   I might conclude, - in catastrophe’s path.

2. Turn-
A. Rediscovering our humanity-All whiteness is rooted in the exclusion of useless expenditure. Only case has a chance to solve by embracing it insead of trying to exorcize it. These activities connect us to our humanity and make us more caring and genuine people. Only by doing the shit we love instead of constantly being tethered to the world of work has the capacity to solve by making us more human
 Winnubst 6 (Shannon, Prof of Women’s studies @ Ohio State) Queering Freedom pg 37
Cultures of phallicized -cultures of phal-  licized whiteness.  *This evidence gender modified. 

B. The body-Our challenge to the bodily notion of perfection and productivity challenges the false neutrality of the liberal subject that lies at the root of all whiteness and oppression. The assumed equal access to everything is true of “neutral” white, straight, Christian, male bodies but excludes all that fall outside this “ideal” conception of the body. Case also has the effect of challenging the concept of limits with our reading of general economics. These limits demarcate personal property as only usable by the person to whom it belongs. It allows for fear of “encroachment” to lead to overt bigotry such as white flight. Only case can solve this apathy and challenge the notion of a neutral subject
Winnubst 6 (Shannon, Prof of Women’s studies @ Ohio State) Queering Freedom pg 25-26  
We must continue -fundamental structures of phallicized white-  ness.
C. demarcation-Our challenge to the limitations on the status quo in the form of energy incentives, conception of society and debate all are challenges to the basis of whiteness. Limitation and demarcation are how the logics of whiteness are exercised.  
Winnubst 6 (Shannon, Prof of Women’s studies @ Ohio State) Queering Freedom pg. 23-25  
As the fences -cultures of phallicized whiteness
D. The heterological community-Only the aff’s conception of a heterological community has the capacity to solve. All violence Is underwritten by distinctive sub units of society. Allegiance to faith, nation, gender, sexuality, race, these allegiances prevent a universal community of the heterological and reconceptualizes community as a verb instead of a noun. Only the aff prevents an inversion of the binary that their alternative guarantees
Mitchell and Winfree 9 (Andrew, Jason. Prof of Philosophy @ Emory U, asst. prof of Philosophy @ CSU Stanislaus) The Obsessions of Georges Bataille: Community and Communication. Introduction. Pg.3 

The "Programme” begins - rather than utopian

1. They cant solve the external impacts-
    Value to life- Their strategy is not widely adoptable to all parts of society whereas ours has the ability to create positive change in the lives of people all over the world and throughout society. Allowing for a reconnection with the energies of the earth and self means we can experience all of the best parts of life and not feel guilty. That’s the Sorenson evidence.
   4. Their alt can’t solve. Allowing a subordinated view of energy to prevail guarantees the continuation of oppression. Focusing on energy provides a way to recontextualize power relations and is a prerequisite to revolutionary action

   The multi-layered, - forever escape human domination. *This evidence gender modified.
   5. Your attempt to demarcate a space between our two projects is part and parcel of the system of whiteness. We agree on 90% of what’s wrong about this world but you seek to cannibalize our movement for the advancement of your own. This demarcation and competition is part and parcel of whiteness. The only way to challenge whiteness is to embrace a litany of struggles and educational opportunities against the system

   6. The search for utopia created happiness tradeoffs, all oppression is underwritten by the desire to remake the world for ourselves and those similar to us. Inner experience solves by forcing a psychological challenge to our notion of the good and resolving the question of catastrophic expenditure. Neoliberal and racialized discourses only cloak oppression in liberally justified discourses. Case solves the root cause. Alt can’t challenge all oppression

Their attempt to foreclose language to a single meaning is their own choice. They give words the power they have over them. Meaning is the excess of language. We have the ability to put the shit back in the sacred by using the term and tainting it with the salvation of the affirmative. It may be used poorly in other parts of the world, but the 1ac is a shitstorm of meaning that’s the Botting and Wilson Evidence
The excessive energies of the 1ac cannot be contained by the traditional structures and interpretations of language- attempting to do so guts the counterplans ability to solve
Gemerchak 9 (Chris, Author of The Sunday of the Negative: Reading Bataille, Reading Hegel) “Of goods and Things: Reflections on an Ethics of Community” pg. 66 

'Inner experience' was - world, but a place of communication" (OC 5: 21/IE 9;el11).
Their prohibition of ‘bad language’ actually makes the impacts worse. Limits demand transgression.
Butler, 97  (Judith, Excitable Speech: A Politics of the Performative, p. 117-118)

According to Freud -of that interdiction.
Perm do the plan and counterplan in all other instances. Some uses of the word  like in the instance of the affirmative are necessary. Integrating the project of the affirmative into their prohibitionist limitation is a prerequisite to solvency.
Total critique shatters coalition-building necessary to confront oppression – perm solves best
