This chapter presents the second step in the book’s exploration of selfhood shaped in autobiographical graphic narratives, or autographics. Chapter 2 discussed how autographics shape a self by combining what Ricoeur calls ipse- and idem-identity, as well as flesh. The present chapter focuses on how readers encounter this self. To do so, the chapter (1) analyses the schematic simplicity of drawn figures in autographics, and (2) explores to what extent this simplicity triggers identification processes. To analyse this interaction between readers and autographics, the chapter discusses Jean-Paul Sartre’s early theoretical writings on the imaginary. With the help of this theory, the chapter argues that readers attach what Sartre calls their “meness” [moiïté] to the self shaped in autographics, meaning that this self remains “other” to the reader and complete identification does not take place. This argument is based on Sartre’s phenomenological analysis of the ways in which an image can function as a material analogon that triggers the reader’s imagination. The chapter’s argument embeds itself in comics studies by contrasting Sartre’s notion of meness with Scott McCloud’s influential use of the concept of closure. The chapter concludes by applying these ideas to an analysis of a drawing from Tatsumi’s A Drifting Life.
