The first speech each person gives is called a “constructive” speech, because it is the speech when the first speaker positively, without rebuttal that has not occurred, presents the basic arguments they will make throughout the debate. In a single round of debate competition, each person gives two speeches. On the other hand, the Negative teams present arguments against the implementation of the resolution. Affirmative teams generally present a plan as a proposal for implementation of the resolution. One team’s job is to argue that the resolution- the statement that we should make some specific change to a national or international problem -is a good idea. When a team explains why their solvency is greater than the opposition's, they compare advantages. The main argument being debated during a round is to change or not change the status quo. Evidence presentation is a crucial part of Policy Debate. It is also referred to as cross-examination debate (sometimes shortened to Cross-X or CX) because of the 3-minute questioning period following each constructive speech. As one ratifies the other, the exception becomes the ruler.Policy debate is an American form of debate competition in which teams of two usually advocate for and against a resolution that typically calls for policy change by the United States federal government. In this mosaic we glimpse a future city built with designed violence and the violence of design. The cast of characters in this ensemble drama of righteous desperation and tactical trickery shuttle between fact and speculation, action and script, flesh and symbol, death and philosophy: insect urbanists, seditious masquerades, epistolary ideologues, distant dissimulations, carnivorous installations, forgotten footage, branded revolts, imploding skyscrapers, sentimental memorials, ad-hoc bunkers, sacred hijackings, vampire safe-houses, suburban enclaves, big-time proposals, ambient security protocols, disputed borders-of-convenience, empty research campuses, and robotic surgery.
Blurring reality and delusion, they collaborate on a literally psychotic politics of architecture. Both rely on all manner of doubles, models, gimmicks, ruses, prototypes, and shock-and-awe campaigns to realize their propagandas of the deed, threat, and image.
Bratton’s kaleidoscopic theory-fiction links the utopian fantasies of political violence with the equally utopian programs of security and control. Equal parts Borges, Burroughs, Baudrillard, and Black Ops, Dispute Plan to Prevent Future Luxury Constitution charts a treacherous landscape filled with paranoid master plans, failed schemes, and dubious histories.īenjamin H.
