2NC Re-presentation Kritik-Gordon

Overview
Their solvency is based on constantly remembering the bodies from the Zong.
They do this through re-presenting their story in this round. The story of the
Zong is a paradox though. On one end of the paradox, we dont remember the
Zong. We both agree that is bad because it doesnt pay fidelity to the other. On
the other end is the act of constantly remembering and re-presenting the dead
from the Zong. That doesnt pay fidelity to the other either though because you
internalize the Others experiences when you present them. That means you
incorporate your own representations onto the other which is violent
assimilation. Voting neg is an act of deconstructing the 1AC which means we
deconstruct the paradox by exposing it. We problematize your remembering
through the aporia which creates a disjunction where we can acknowledge the
other without imposing our own representations and experiences onto the
other.

2AC #1permutationthe perm tries to make the aporia coherent but voting
negative is to embrace the unintelligibility of the other otherwise we impose
our representations violently onto the other. We embrace this instance of
aporia, not the concept in the abstract. We expose the disjunction of the
paradox via deconstruction. The aff is still an example of mourning and
remembering the other, which means it still links to the criticism. The kritik is
based off of the affirmatives method which means theyd have to sever their
advocacy to not link. Thats a voter b/c it moots negative ground. Ill do the link
proper debate here.

1.) Psychic plagerismintrojection means you assimilate the other into the
self. You internalize the death of the other over-representing and overincorporating their stories. Your total internalization means that you
apply your own representations and experiences to these images.
2.) Goal--The self is narcissistic so you use their images for yourself when
you re-present them. You claim to solve for white supremacy in cx. When
you attach a goal or purposethats the ultimate form of using the other
for your own benefit. That turns the case because thats the logic of the
slave master or seller who threw the slaves off of the ship when they no
longer served their personal goal.
Each link is a disad to the permutation and a reason the perm could never
solve.
2AC #2We need to be haunted by the Zong and the alt is violencethis
evidence flows negIt says we should focus on the paradox. We arent
pragmatism.
its a Derrida card about how hauntology is deconstructive. Also, its descriptive
of the affirmative so either hauntology is okay or the affirmative is an act of
violence. Haunting is key to solve. This card is about pragmatic solutions but
thats not the aff and its also not a question of pragmatism but rather a
question of the kritik. This argument is a mischaracterization of the alternative.
I explained the alternative above. Its an act of knowing the other but
remaining skeptical of the other. We acknowledge that it exists and that the
Zong was a traumatic historical moment but we recognize that the other is
foreign to us. This interaction with the other is key to the aporia and
deconstructing the paradox.
2AC #3Perm solvesI answered this above. But endlessly deconstructing
means we cannot have a political option, which is what this evidence suggests.
The perm would still trigger the impacts of the criticismstill violently
assimilates the other in a way that inflicts violence similar to that which the
bodies on the Zong experienced. They were otherized and exploited. That turns
the case and makes future violence inevitable in the framing of the aff.
Why its colonial in nature and why it perpetuates violence.

Starts the overview with the beginning of the paradox.

The advocacy statement and their narrative.
Its the affs endlessly remembering and exploring it.
Take out the reference to the Zong.
Explain the paradox more clearly. Paradox is key to the alternative.
Hauntologysee what the conclusion is. Hagland. We are not remembering or forgetting. We
are not hauntology. They cannot read Baucom and claim they are not haunting. Influential
events in history never end. Some stuff do end.
Question the difference b/w one and three.
