meaning of "engage" Does here "engaging" mean "conflicting", "contrasting", and "fighting"? "Here the idea of a story is conveyed through engaging the viewer’s expectation of narrative continuity without providing an actual plot."

I'd say it means "drawing in" by presenting something appealing, or something to that effect.

Or perhaps also "to draw in". A stranger came up to him at the bus stop and tried to engage/draw him in to conversation.

In this sentence, I would say 'engaging' is closer to 'utilising'.
