- W2023337272 abstract "In metafictive picturebooks the process of becoming engaged in the story is often due to a realization of its marvellous artifice and a negotiation of the playful collision of multiple sign systems readers are confronted with. In books such as Anthony Browne's Voices in the Park and David Macaulay's Shortcut, Maira Kalman's Ooh-la-la (Max in Love), and Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith's The True Story of the Three Little Pigs, the narrative whole is the result of the contrasts and comparisons set up between the narration and the pictorialization.1 Readers are drawn in, pushed back, or allowed to participate from a comfortable distance by the pictures' focus, layout, and detail. The narrative engagement in these books is overt; readers engage in an active puzzling together of information, clues, and cues: the drama of potentiality, which results from the interanimation of narration and pictorialization, is a sensory and literary mind game for any number of players. Picturebooks2 engage their readers in some level of performance every time they are read. One can draw a number of parallels between picturebooks and drama, some of which allow us to consider what it means to engage with characters in metafictive picturebook narratives. The textual combination of pictures and words creates what Murray Smith, a film theorist, calls the structure of sympathy that encourages, permits, or prohibits our alignment with and allegiance to characters in the drama of potentiality constructed by the picturebook's narrator and pictorializer and realized by its reader(s). An examination of the parallels between plays and metafictional picturebooks in section one draws on Shortcut to outline the basics of this always somewhat improvisational text-based game. Section two provides a consideration of some of the games readers have to play in the reading process exemplified by some of the forms of meaning depicted in Ooh-la-la. Together, these two sections provide a framework for the application of Smith's structure of sympathy to the picturebook Voices in the Park in section three. The structure [End Page 176] of sympathy enables and informs the concept of engaging pictorialization—quite a different kettle of conceptual fish than engaging narration—providing a productive intersection with the terms immediate-engaging, distant-engaging, and distancing narration by broadening their application to the pictorialization of metafictive picturebooks (see Schwenke Wyile, Expanding the View). Picturebooks and Plays There are a great many profitable parallels to be drawn between the production of a play and the reading of a picturebook. Several critics have noted some of these to provide analogies or points of comparison to further the critical consideration of picturebooks, which are obviously unlike word-only literature.3 Like actors, readers bring to the text4 both personal and imposed experience and knowledge. Paradoxically, adult readers' greater experience and knowledge is often more of a hindrance than an asset to their reading of picture books. Depending on the context, of course, children tend to be more relaxed and playful in their reading—they are less hampered by their expectations,5 and this is often enough to make up for their narrower field of reading experience. According to Stanislavsky, method actors must go through an involved process of work on the self before they embark on their work on the role they are rehearsing to act (qtd. in Migliarisi 4–6). Much of this work is an exploration of possibilities that is similar to the process of reading most established readers take for granted. Readers of picturebooks are part audience, part actors, and part director-producer, though the degree of involvement required is somewhat contingent on the picturebook in question—some make more demands than others..." @default.
