Excellent- More about Sovereign Excess, Legitimacy and Resistance
Power is anarchic but depends on its victims' recognition. Barnardine, a murderer in Measure for Measure, benefits from this political theurgy and becomes sovereign, on a level with and against the State.

Salò, according to Pasolini, is the epitome of anarchic power, as it wields absolute authority and its desires are entirely arbitrary. However, upon delving into the heart of contemporary sovereignty, a fragile vulnerability emerges. This power, akin to a divine command, relies on the recognition of its victims. It begs to be loved, even by those it condemns to death. Taking advantage of this political theurgy, as the book refers to it (the belief that power, like God, constantly seeks glorification), is Barnardine, the Bohemian murderer in Shakespeare's Measure for Measure. When called upon by power to the gallows, he curses with a vengeful "A pox on your throats." Surprisingly, he does not desire death and, in fact, refuses to succumb. As a result, he emerges as a sovereign entity, on par with and in opposition to the State.
