    El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar al colectivo de ciberactivistas Anonymous como un objeto socio-digital, es decir, como un presupuesto social -insertado en la lógica digital- que posibilita un horizonte determinado de acciones, y que forma parte de lo que denominaremos el underground digital. Se trata de un espacio minoritario y electrónico, generado por el uso de las tecnologías digitales, que mantiene una cierta autonomía, y una actitud de oposición consciente, respecto a las pautas de la sociedad mayoritaria. Los miembros de underground digital han desarrollado diferentes modelos organizativos y formatos subculturales, así como estrategias muy innovadoras para involucrase en los asuntos públicos. En los últimos años, Anonymous es uno de los ejemplos más relevantes de estas iniciativas.

    This paper's main aim is to analyse the ciberactivist collective Anonymous as a socio-digital object, that is, as a social premise -embedded in the digital logic- which opens a determined horizon of actions, and that I shall call the Digital Underground. This is an alternative and electronic space, generated by the use of digital technologies, which is characterized by a certain degree of autonomy, and a conscious oppositional character, in relation to mainstream society. The members of the Digital Underground have developed distinct organizational models, subcultural formats and innovative strategies in order to participate in the public sphere. In the last few years, Anonymous stands out as a main example of these initiatives.
