Development/Crisis Reps: 

Imagining the end…a social reality

 
Representations are paramount to policy-making in sub-Subaran Africa—the intention of policy-makers shapes implementation 
 
Emery Roe, director of the Center for Sustainable Resource Development at the University of California, Berkeley, 1999, Except Africa: Remaking Development, Rethinking Power, p. 104-105 

The expatriate role…development intention. 

To see development…in Western discourse 

Amy Laura Hall, Duke, 7/1/06, Journal of Medicine and Philosophy, “Whose Progress?  The Language of Global Health” 

The configuration…biotechnological world order. 

Viewing Africa through the lens of crisis ensures the failure of policy

Emery Roe, director of the Center for Sustainable Resource Development at the University of California, Berkeley, 1999, Except Africa: Remaking Development, Rethinking Power, 7-8 

What is really…much that matters 

Assistance towards the so-called “poor” treats them as objects of control 

Escobar 94 “Encountering Development”, 23 

The treatment of…the social 

Nicholas King, Oxford, 12/02, Social Studies of Science, “Security, Disease, Commerce: Ideologies of Postcolonial Global Health”, 779=780 

This idealization…and belief systems. 

Western imperialism is an insidious and dangerous form of politics that results in a clash of cultures and a worldwide battlefield.

Representations of failed economies are used to destroy autonomy

One obvious line…enjoy this right.

Highland Park GO – Affirmative – Nietzsche/Carnivals of Atrocity

Thus, we present the following plan:

The United States federal government should, through the legislative branch, increase the amount of AZT being sent to sub-Saharan Africa. 
 
We’ll clarify plan intent. 
 
Contention Two: Carnivals of Atrocity 
 
The silence has gone on too long – political theorists and philosophers alike have skirted the issue of cruelty and the role it plays in our existence. Our affirmative is a new exposition of cruelty and violence to refocus our minds on the utility of cruelty. 
Miller, 90 – Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Science at Brown University – 1990(James, “Carnivals of Atrocity Foucault, Nietzsche, Cruelty”, Political Theory, Vol. 18, No.3, August, 470-491, JSTOR) 
 
What, for example, are we to make of Foucault's apparent… The first challenge is to sketch an interpretation that renders explicit what Foucault has left largely implicit. 
 
Our act of intentional murder is a necessary and enjoyable part of the affirmation of our existence. Cruelty is something we’ll desire whatever we do, it is a question of whether or not we wish to express that desire or internalize it. Doing the latter causes us to constantly desire to be cruel and eventually we declare war on ourselves. 
Miller, 90 – Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Science at Brown University – 1990(James, “Carnivals of Atrocity Foucault, Nietzsche, Cruelty”, Political Theory, Vol. 18, No.3, August, 470-491, JSTOR) 
 
Now, Nietzsche's Genealogy of Morals expresses the same disquieting… triumph of asceticism in Christianity.' 
 

Pain and Suffering are inherent conditions of life. Not arguments against our affirmation of it. Appeals to end suffering only lead to internalization of this suffering.
