Abstract

Since its appearance in October 2003, the informal collective Stopub has launched a series of spectacular attacks against advertisement boards in the Metro, generating a backlash in turn of police and legal harassment. In the context of our research into new forms of political commitment, tee have sought to understand the origins and main features of this shadowy group, which same observers consider, perhaps wrongly, to be a new form of militant anti-globalization. Stopub, which is mostly made up of young « disobedients » looking for new forms of radical action, points to the emergence of further forms of activism in the near future, due to its profoundly rhizomatic stature.
