1AR: Dispo=Condo
1. Not Our Interp Of Dispo- if the 2AC straight turns the CP, the negative can not kick it, unless the negative reads theory other than dispo bad. Means that this cp is not conditional automatically. 2. Err Aff- 2AC needs to read DAs to CP, because it moots 1AC, any risk we get more ability to do this in our interp means we get our competitive equity args.

6. Visibility Turn- claims that the invisible are powerless are wrong, the otherized are actually empowered, while the visible are caught in colonialist/imperialist thinking.
Phelan in 93 [Peggy, Chairman of the Arts School @ Stanford University, Unmarked: the Politics of Performance, Pg. 6-7, Questia] The current contradiction between "identity politics" with its accent on visibility, and the psychoanalytic/deconstructionist mistrust of visibility as the source of unity or wholeness needs to be refigured, if not resolved. As the Left dedicates ever more energy to visibility politics, I am increasingly troubled by the forgetting of the problems of visibility so successfully articulated by feminist film theorists in the 1970s and 1980s. I am not suggesting that continued invisibility is the "proper" political agenda for the disenfranchised, but rather that the binary between the power of visibility and the impotency of invisibility is falsifying. There is real power in remaining unmarked; and there are serious limitations to visual representation as a political goal. Visibility is a trap ("In this matter of the visible, everything is a trap": Lacan, Four Fundamental Concepts: 93); it summons surveillance and the law; it provokes voyeurism, fetishism, the colonialist/imperial appetite for possession. Yet it retains a certain political appeal. Visibility politics have practical consequences; a line can be drawn between a practice (getting someone seen or read) and a theory (if you are seen it is harder for "them" to ignore you, to construct a punitive canon); the two can be reproductive. While there is a deeply ethical appeal in the desire for a more inclusive representational landscape and certainly under-represented communities can be empowered by an enhanced visibility, the terms of this visibility often enervate the putative power of these identities. A much more nuanced relationship to the power of visibility needs to be pursued than the Left currently engages. Arguing that communities of the hitherto under-represented will be made stronger if representational economies reflect and see them, progressive cultural activists have staked a huge amount on increasing and expanding the visibility of racial, ethnic, and sexual "others." It is assumed that disenfranchised communities who see their members within the representational field will feel greater pride in being part of such a community and those who are not in such a community will increase their understanding of the diversity and strength of such communities. Adrian Piper, the visual artist and philosopher, has demonstrated that part of the meaning of race resides in the perpetual choice to acknowledge or ignore its often-invisible markings.

Consult 2AC
Consultation counterplans are a voter for fairness and education: A. Unpredictable- infinite amount of agents that could be consulted, no way to have offensive justification and say no cards for each one. B. Timeframe Competition is Bad- not true tradeoffs with the plan, kills permutations and disads, because they link to the plan. C. Hyper-Conditional- three worldviews within one- they can say no, say yes or make mods and claim net benefits off of it, without sticking to one. Skews 2AC offense and strat. D. IR disads solve your offense.

Framework 2AC
A. Interpretation- the affirmative gets to weigh their advantages on the same level as the K. B. Standards1. Predictability- key to check unpredictable kritiks, we need predictable basis of offense for any aff strategy. 2. Ground- advantages key to aff ground- must weigh them in order to measure the worth of the affirmatives advocacy. 3. Solves all your offense, net-benefit of ours.
