¹ “To define the enemy is, simultaneously, to define the collective … the disappearance of the enemy threatens to dissolve the collective itself … It is the absolute political enemy that threatens the existence of the collective, because it challenges the very notion by which the identity of the collective has been formed.”

² “So long as the enemy stays in its place, keeping the position allotted to it within the political imaginary as the enemy behaves like the enemy, it is not a threat in the absolute sense (to the collective).”

All quotations are from Susan Buck-Morss’ Dreamworld and Catastrophe (2000) p. 9–34, which points to a very inspiring concept of the political imaginery that provokes us to metamorphose Pillowhead into an absolute identity.
