Tournament: 2013babyjo | Round: 1 | Opponent: Whitman College Anderson-Salathe | Judge: Holland
Contention 1 is The War on Terror:
The war on terror activated a new gendered binary into international politics, used to authorize military action and exclude alterative ways of doing and being that staged the return on the prerogative state through globalized militarization.
Pettman 04
(Jan Jindy, Director of Centre for Women’s studies at the Australian National University, “Feminist International Relations After 9/11,” Brown Journal of World Affairs, Winter/Spring 2004, Vol 10, Issue 2)

9/11 did not change the world for feminists. The terror attacks and
AND
reminded us that earlier talk of the demise of the state had never applied to the high politics long favored in IR.

The rhetoric of ‘saving women’ was appropriated into the executive framing of the war on terror so that the military solution was appropriate retribution for violating the victimized nation state. Simplified, male protectionism became the subtext of the war on terror, foisting the civic identity of ‘soldier’ upon men and women the objects of their cause.

(Alyson, Associate Professor of Political Science at Queens Col- lege and the Graduate Center, City University of New York, “The other v-word: the politics of victimhood fueling George W. Bush’s war machine,” Feminism and War, chapter 8, 2008)

Consider the range of feminine, feminized, and unmasculine tropes that populate post-
AND
, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.

Framing 9/11 as a loss of innocence is the necessary starting point for a cultural narrative that dismantles public opposition and fuels rampant militarism. The rape metaphor was key in developing the war on terror.
Cole 08
(Alyson, Associate Professor of Political Science at Queens Col- lege and the Graduate Center, City University of New York, “The other v-word: the politics of victimhood fueling George W. Bush’s war machine,” Feminism and War, chapter 8, 2008)

Numerous commentators point to 9/11 as the date America lost her innocence
AND
 possibility of an explanation for the attack and undermine the nation’s claim to a place within the Cult of True Victimhood.

This gendered notion of victimization and othering is THE justification for continuous expansion of executive war powers. The militarization of daily life redefines citizenship such that dissent is criminalized and transforms the nation state into a household, gendering the civilian population as feminized victims in need of protection by the masculinized state and his own, executive authority.
Agathangelou and Ling 04
(Anna M, Ph.D. is an Associate Professor in Political Science and Women’s Studies at York University, Toronto and co-director of Global Change Institute, Nicosia. L.H.M, L.H.M. Ling is Associate Professor on the Graduate Program in International Affairs at The New School. “Power, Borders, Security, Wealth: Lessons of Violence and Desire From September 11” International Studies Quarterly, June 2004)

Transnationalizing insecurity means militarizing daily life. As legitimized by Homeland Security, the American
AND
more male workers may join such ranks as well (Krugman, 2002). 

The gendered constructions of the nation as victim utilize an approach to suffering that resurrects the grand narrative of US manifest destiny and imperial conquest that valorize masculine heroism and deploy violent conflict.

(Alyson, Associate Professor of Political Science at Queens Col- lege and the Graduate Center, City University of New York, “The other v-word: the politics of victimhood fueling George W. Bush’s war machine,” Feminism and War, chapter 8, 2008)

President George W. Bush’s conception of the post-9/11 geo-moral landscape renders him a practitioner
AND
discovering its ancient mission, its manifest destiny, as a model to the nations of the world.

The post 9/11 prerogative state deployed women as weapons in the culture wars that methodologically legitimized military violence while removing women as agents of knowledge and curtailed civic opposition.
Pettman 04

Neoliberal globalization forces the feminized ‘others’ to convert or be subject to modernized colonial tactics such as ‘conditionalities’ from its intuitions or regime change.  
Ling 08

Here, gender plays in high relief. In claiming center status, colonial patriarchy

The use of women’s bodies as objects of male protectionism guarantees continued colonial conflict, and demands a rhetorical corrective to liberate liberal feminism from its masculinized military saviors.

Ling is Associate Professor on the Graduate Program in International Affairs at The New School. “Power, Borders, Security, Wealth: Lessons of Violence and Desire From September 11” International Studies Quarterly, June 2004)

Women’s bodies are used, additionally, to mystify the conflicts and contestations that afflict
AND
,’’ ‘‘regime change,’’ and ‘‘nation- building.’’

The derealization of the other through discursive distancing is the precondition for dehumanization and guarantees violence.
Butler 04
(Judith, “Violence, Mourning and Politics” from Precarious Life: The Powers of Mourning and Violence, 2004)

If violence is done against those who are unreal, then, from the perspective of violence, it fails to injure or negate those lives since those lives are already negated.
AND
Is there a story we might find about those deaths in the media? Are there names¶ attached to those children?

Contention 2 is framing:
Militaristic rhetoric of the war on terror produces the hierarchized authority and deference that cultivate the hyper-secured surveillance state.
Einstein 07
(Zillah, Emerita Professor, Department of Politics at Ithaca College, specializing in politics of class, sex, and race; political theory; feminist theories; gender construction, “Resexing militarism for the globe” Feminism and War, 2007)

War is our cultural metaphor. We war on drugs, on AIDS, on
AND
of the Vietnam War to construct the new heroes and patriots of today.

The actions of the United States establish a norm to recognize what is ‘american.’ The extra legal sovereign maintains its mastery warring against terror, and deploys feminism as a trope to affirm First World impermeability aimed at denying its vulnerability.
 Butler 04
(Judith, “Violence, Mourning and Politics” from Precarious Life: The Powers of Mourning and Violence, 2004)

Nations are not the same as individual psyches, but both can be described as
AND
as they are imagined and lived in the horizon of a counterimperialist egalitarianism.

Demanding recognition of bodily vulnerability as an innate facet of the human condition is necessary to reconfiguring power dynamics and establish a framework for universal humanization for all subjects.
Butler 04

Let us (re)consider visions of security and insecurity, state and nation, violence and desire

Public discourse must recognize the Self’s intersubjective complicity with the Other to interrogate and complicate the war machine and reconstruct Self/Other identity relations.

The affirmative is an important starting point.
