Here are the elements of a story. They are simple, yet I think this works. To tell your story, you simply (yeah, right) complete the sentences.

1. Once upon a time … The beginning, the setting of the scene, the introduction of a character

2. Every day … The life of the character as it is, and is about to be disrupted

3. Until this … Something happens, the inciting incident, that throws a character’s life out of whack

4. Because of this … The character reacts with an attempt to put her life back on track, but there are complications.

5. Because of this … The effort fails, and then the character tries again (there can be a series of these), and there are complications.

6. Until finally … The climax, the point in the story that the character achieves her goal

7. For every day … The resolution, the tying of things together (or not, if you have an ironic ending) that completes the story experience.

Grant Morrison’s Supergods

• Text by Simon Jablonski

The ancient Greeks had gods, after we killed all the gods we created and comic book heroes as a replacement. In his new book, Supergods, comic book legend Grant Morrison lays out the history and dissects the social significance of masked heroes and villains, tracing the context that encouraged their creation. Just as for the Greeks gods were seen as embodiments of human traits and not as metaphysical entities, Morrison’s analysis suggests that superheroes came to fill a similar role, representing human desire and anxieties that allow these characters to permeate from their fictional world into our own reality.

For comic book nerds, Supergods is thick with historical detail yet it’s Morrison’s own broader observations and theorising that makes the book so fascinating and, despite its 500 odd pages, drives it forward. Dazed Digital sat down with Grant Morrison to chat about optimism, fetishism and transvestite guerrillas.

Abstract
We use a field experiment to investigate whether race affects how responsive state legislators are to requests for help with registering to vote. In an email sent to each legislator, we randomized whether a putatively black or white alias was used and whether the email signaled the sender’s
partisan preference. Overall, we find that putatively black requests receive fewer replies. Weexplore two potential explanations for this discrimination: strategic partisan behavior and the legislators’ own race. We find that the putatively black alias continues to be differentially treated even when the emails signal partisanship, indicating that strategic considerations cannot
completely explain the observed differential treatment. Further analysis reveals that white legislators of both parties exhibit similar levels of discrimination against the black alias. Minority legislators do the opposite, responding more frequently to the black alias. Implications for the study of race and politics in the United States are discussed.
