FOUCAULT’S GENEALOGIES ARE NOT PRESCRIPTIVE

Gary Wickham, senior lecturer, Sociology Program, Murdoch University, CHICAGO-KENT LAW REVIEW, 2000, p. 926. 

Foucault’s reformulation of the concept of discourse derives from his attempts to provide histories of

GENEALOGY CONTRADICTS ITSELF IN AN EFFORT TO EXPRESS A HIDDEN, A-HISTORICAL TRUTH

C.G. Prado, Philosophy Professor, Smith, STARTING WITH FOUCAULT, 1995, p. 1205

Foucault’s account in Discipline and Punish of the disciplinary practices that produce the "docile

The alternative is to vote negative. In questioning the masculine conceptions of the 1AC we are able to embrace a feminist ethic that challenges the inequalities and violence of the status quo

Framework

A. The ballot’s sole purpose is to answer the resolutional question: Is the outcome of the enactment of a topical plan better than the status quo or an alternative advocacy? They violate this by claiming ’advantages’ independent of the plan. It’s a voting issue.

 (5-12, "~23 12, Punctuation – The Colon and Semicolon", http://usawocc.army.mil/IMI/wg12.htm-http://usawocc.army.mil/IMI/wg12.htm)

The colon introduces the following: a. A list, but only after "

This is a voting issue

Having the resolution as the point of stasis is crucial to us debating; this does not reject their advocacy, as long as it is grounded in the topic

This widespread recognition that access to public deliberative processes and the ballot is a baseline

therapeutic conversation and dialogue jeopardizes the very pulse and lifeblood of democracy itself. 

2. Meaning – it’s only possible within an arbitrary system of rules – their criticism amounts to speaking from nowhere.
