Create a critical framework for your affirmative

Tens ways to help your critical affirmative (mostly via better framework arguments):

1) Butler’s “Precarious Life” (Butler has some great evidence which specifically mentions “dissent”
2) Roland Bleiker. Bleiker has some Alternatives and Millenium articles, but I believe most all the arguments from him are from his book.
3) Try a geneaology. This is incredibly strategic. Its hard for the neg. to link turn.
4) Evidence about “memory” being good can also give you an advantage (particularly against representation critiques). Most of the memory bad assumes the “official” memory or the status quo memory not your affirmative.
5) Nayar
6) Kappler
7) At least one must reject card (hopefully reject in every instance)
8] At least one root cause piece of evidence
9) Evidence which turns the status quo into a fundamentalism.
10) Arguments about the State:
1. Either. A defense of the institution if you use the institution (ie Zizek evidence on using the letter of the law against itself….or perhaps Rorty Cede the Political). Also other defenses of the need to engage the public sphere. Campell has some evidence about using biopower against itself (it may be best to hold this back for the 2ac)
2. Or. Arguments about simulation being bad (or the politics of deference to government or calling on government)
