This article examines shifts in the strategy of contemporary social movements. Using the intersection of the Zapatistas and indymedia, I make two interrelated arguments: First, we have seen a fundamental transformation in the way social movement organizations function, which places communication technology and media practices at the center of resistance. Second, I argue this new logic of resistance that grows out of the Zapatista Army of National Liberation leads to important innovations as well as limits in the operation of contemporary movements.
