As Gilles Deleuze once said, Marquis de Sade expressed his thoughts through institution. Heeding this observation, this article adopts Deleuze's point of view to investigate Sade’s attitude toward law, as well as the intricate relationship between institution/rules and the pursuit of pleasure. I argue that Sade takes "anti-law" and "anti-contract" stances to negate the value of law, and elaborate on the importance of institution and rule in the pursuit of happiness. Sade views the imperative and caprice rule as granting privilege to the powerful, puts sexual despotism into the core of group orgy and contemplates different facades of nude life. Sade's innovative view of the intersection of sexuality, biopolitics and power merits further reflection. |
