Abstract

This paper investigates the unexplored approach to and the defensive mechanism of sexual discourse represented in the text by tracing the seemingly 'scientific' sexology and the strategic narrative of mixed worlds of fantasy and realism. In the fantastic and even wild adventure of "the band of men," Lucy and Mina as bourgeois women who "[were] invested by the deployment of sexuality" in modern history are "alerted to the potential pathology of sex, the urgent need to keep it under close watch and to devise a rational technology of correction" by the sexual discourse under the guise of 'science.' The sexology suspects the women of the contagious 'crimes' of 'lesbianism' and 'masturbation' in their sleep which, according to physician, are supposed to result in the aggressive sexuality and anemia. The sexual discourse which regards the women's sexual awakening both in each other and by themselves as subversive potentiality to the patriarchy divides and punishes them either by doing "therapeutic penetration" or by urging "confession" as the clinical codification of the inducement to speak the truth of sex "for the good of mankind." Fantasy in this text serves to reconfirm the patriarchal ideology "by supplying a vicarious fulfillment of desire and neutralizing an urge towards transgression," and demanding "the greatest suspension of critical judgment." The dialogue between fantastic/dreamlike world and scientific/realistic one conspires to engender a response that is "between disbelief and a suspension of disbelief," which contributes to making the violent/unreasonable sexual discourse accepted without doubt by the characters as well as by the readers who may request "some rational explanation" of all these violent and mysterious things.
