- Definition(s)
- Der Begriff „Blitzauflauf“, meist jedoch englisch „Flashmob“ („flash“ – Blitz; „mob“ – Pöbel), auch „Smart Mob“ („intelligenter Menschenauflauf“, lat. „mobilis“ – beweglich) bzw. „Smart Mobbing“ bezeichnet einen kurzen, scheinbar spontanen Menschenauflauf auf öffentlichen oder halböffentlichen Plätzen, bei denen sich die Teilnehmer üblicherweise persönlich nicht kennen. Flashmobs werden über Weblogs, Nachrichtengruppen, E-Mail-Kettenbriefe oder per Mobiltelefon organisiert. Obwohl die Ursprungsidee explizit unpolitisch war, gibt es mittlerweile auch schon Flashmobs mit politischem Hintergrund.
