    Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games Photosensitive Seizures A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including fl ashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these “photosensitive epileptic seizures” while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptoms— children and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the screen; use a smaller screen; play in a well-lit room; and do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing. ESRB Game Ratings The Entertainment Software Rating Board (ESRB) ratings are designed to provide consumers, especially parents, with concise, impartial guidance about the age- appropriateness and content of computer and video games. This information can help consumers make informed purchase decisions about which games they deem suitable for their children and families.

  • Once Upon a Time There Was a Puss in Boots: Hanna Januszewska’S Polish Translation and Adaptation of Charles Perrault’S Fairy Tales
    Przekładaniec. A Journal of Literary Translation 22–23 (2009/2010): 33–55 doi:10.4467/16891864ePC.13.002.0856 Monika Woźniak ONCE UPON A TIME THERE WAS A PUSS IN BOOTS: Hanna Januszewska’s POLISH TRANSLATION AND ADAPTATION OF CHARLES Perrault’s FAIRY TALES Abstract: This article opens with an overview of the Polish reception of fairy tales, Perrault’s in particular, since 1700. The introductory section investigates the long- established preference for adaptation rather than translation of this genre in Poland and provides the framework for an in-depth comparative analysis of the first Polish translation of Mother Goose Tales by Hanna Januszewska, published in 1961, as well as her adaptation of Perrault’s tales ten years later. The examination focuses on two questions: first, the cultural distance between the original French text and Polish fairy- tales, which causes objective translation difficulties; second, the cultural, stylistic and linguistic shifts introduced by Januszewska in the process of transforming her earlier translation into a free adaptation of Perrault’s work. These questions lead not only to comparing the originality or literary value of Januszewska’s two proposals, but also to examining the reasons for the enormous popularity of the adapted version. The faithful translation, by all means a good text in itself, did not gain wide recognition and, if not exactly a failure, it was nevertheless an unsuccessful attempt to introduce Polish readers to the original spirit of Mother Goose Tales. Keywords: translation, adaptation, fairy tale, Perrault, Januszewska The suggestion that Charles Perrault and his fairy tales are unknown in Poland may at first seem absurd, since it would be rather difficult to im- agine anyone who has not heard of Cinderella, Puss in Boots or Sleeping Beauty.

  • NIER's Rejection of the Heteronormative in Fairy
    Cerri !1 “This Is Hardly the Happy Ending I Was Expecting”: NIER’s Rejection of the Heteronormative in Fairy Tales Video games are popularly viewed as a form of escapist entertainment with no real meaning or message. They are often considered as unnecessarily violent forms of recreation that possibly incite aggressive tendencies in their players. Overall, they are generally condemned as having no value. However, these beliefs are fallacious, as there is enormous potential in video games as not just learning tools but also as a source of literary criticism. Games have the capacity to generate criticisms that challenge established narratives through content and form. Thus, video games should be viewed as a new medium that demands serious analysis. Furthermore, the analysis generated by video games can benefit from being read through existing literary forms of critique. For example, the game NIER (2010, Cavia) can be read through a critical lens to evaluate its use of the fairy tale genre. More specifically, NIER can be analyzed using queer theory for the game’s reimagining and queering of the fairy tale genre. Queer theory, which grew prominent in the 1990s, is a critical theory that proposes a new way to approach identity and normativity. It distinguishes gender from biological sex, deconstructs the notion of gender as a male-female binary, and addresses the importance of performance in gender identification. That is, historically and culturally assigned mannerisms establish gender identity, and in order to present oneself with a certain gender one must align their actions with the expected mannerisms of that history and culture.

  • Sleeping Beauty
    1 1812 GRIMM’S FAIRY TALES THE SLEEPING BEAUTY Jacob Ludwig Grimm and Wilhelm Carl Grimm Grimm, Jacob (1785-1863) and Wilhelm (1786-1859) - German philologists whose collection “Kinder- und Hausmarchen,” known in English as “Grimm’s Fairy Tales,” is a timeless literary masterpiece. The brothers transcribed these tales directly from folk and fairy stories told to them by common villagers. The Sleeping Beauty (1812) - A wise woman (witch) prophesies that the new- born princess Rosamond will prick her finger on a spindle and die when she is fifteen. Another wise woman softens the spell to a hundred years’ sleep. THE SLEEPING BEAUTY IN TIMES PAST there lived a King and Queen, who said to each other every day of their lives, “Would that we had a child!” and yet they had none. But it happened once that when the Queen was bathing, there came a frog out of the water, and he squatted on the ground, and said to her, “Thy wish shall be fulfilled; before a year has gone by, thou shalt bring a daughter into the world.” And as the frog foretold, so it happened; and the Queen bore a daughter so beautiful that the King could not contain himself for joy, and he ordained a great feast. Not only did he bid to it his relations, friends, and acquaintances, but also the wise women, that they might be kind and favorable to the child. There were thirteen of them in his kingdom, but as he had only provided twelve golden plates for them to eat from, one of them had to be left out.

  • Pavane of the Sleeping Beauty - Ravel
    PAVANE OF THE SLEEPING BEAUTY - RAVEL Context Ravel’s Pavane of the Sleeping Beauty is the first movement from The Mother Goose Suite. The other movements are called Tom Thumb, Empress of the Pagodas, Beauty and the Beast and The Fairy Garden. Ravel originally wrote this work as a piano duet (where two people play one piano at the same time). Teaching and Learning This expressive piece is in 4-time. A pavane is a slow processional dance. The instruments include harp, flute, muted horn and plucked strings. Words that can be used when talking about this music: dreamy, delicate, sleepy, quiet, gentle. Here is the outline score of the first few bars: Activities for Children Tell the children that the music describes a fairy tale. They have to guess which one by listening to the music. Call out the names of other fairy tales (such as Red Riding Hood, Goldilocks, Hansel and Gretel and Snow White) or give them pictures of other fairy tale characters to help them to decide. They will explain their choice. Refer to loud, soft, fast and slow during the discussion and mention instruments when possible e.g. flute (dreamy), clarinet (deeper) and violins up very high (magical). The harp also plays a little here to add to the fairy tale feel. Sing the opening phrase: “Go to sleep, my dear; stay asleep, my dear, soon your prince will come along”. These words were not written by Ravel, but they allow the children to connect with the music and the idea behind the music..

Silenced by grief, Esther leaves her young daughter, Aurora, to fend for herself; against a backdrop of an absent father and maternal neglect, the child takes comfort wherever she can, but the fierce attachments she forms never seem to last until, as an adult, she travels to her father’s native Ireland. If You Were Mine employs elements of well-known fairy tales and explores themes of maternal abandonment and loss, as well as the consequences of adoption, in a narrative that laments the perilous nature of children’s lives.
