Open City
In war, an open city is a settlement which has announced it has abandoned all defensive efforts, generally in the event of the imminent capture of the city to avoid destruction. Once a city has declared itself open the opposing military will be expected under international law to peacefully occupy the city rather than destroy it. According to the Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions, it is forbidden for the attacking party to "attack, by any means whatsoever, non-defended localities". The intent is to protect the city's civilians and cultural landmarks from a battle which may be futile. Attacking forces do not always respect the declaration of an "open city". Defensive forces will occasionally use the designation as a political tactic as well. In some cases, the declaration of a city to be "open" is made by a side on the verge of defeat and surrender; in other cases, those making such a declaration are willing and able to fight on but prefer that the specific city be spared.

Origins and development ''OpenCity'' is the product of programmer Duong-Khang Nguyen and 3D artist Frédéric Rodrigo.

The novel received praise for its prose and depiction of New York. It was included on several end of year lists of the best books published in 2011. Plot Julius, a man completing the last year of a psychiatry fellowship, wanders the streets of New York City and meets a variety of people over the course of a year. Structure The novel has no substantial plot, and instead relies on Julius' insights and "peregrinations" through New York City and the broader world to drive the book. The book's structure and composition has been compared to the work of W.G. Sebald, and although ''Open City'' has "nominally separate" chapters, its lack of punctuation gives it the "atmosphere of a text written in a single, unbroken paragraph". The style has been compared to the structure of a diary. R ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
