Abstract
Both Simmel and Goffman were deeply persuaded that the big things in society, in actual observable reality are made up of a dynamic and complex system of interlocking and interacting small things. In this paper, I wish to examine the online-offline communicative and semiotic practices of one such “less conspicuous” social group: the Saabists. Based on long term digital ethnographic research I will provide a description and analysis of how Saabists discursively and semiotically construct identity on-and offline in a transnational niche. Saabists, I will argue, are a translocal and polycentric micro-population sharing a ‘culture’ – Saab culture or Saabism - and an ‘identity’. I clearly argue in favor of a materialistic approach to identity and group formation. The reasons therefore are evident: Identity should not only be understood in a certain chronotope, but is also embedded in ‘infrastructure’, what Arnaut, Karrebaek and Spotti (2016) call Poiesis-infrastructures.

Given the fact that most "Saabists" choose to drive a Saab because it's different and quirky, i will argue that most "Saabists" mainly share their differences. Which, unfortunately, is a rare culture in most communities. The controversially shared common "Identity" of a "Saabist" inherently will be difficult, even unlikely, to attach to any community. Therefor i would say "Saabisits" can be categorized as an incoherent group of Individuals. At the most.

Dat laatste is goud! Zou een goeie titel voor dit forum zijn.

het zit toch iets complexer zei de auteur

Geweldig dit!!!! .....Ik zeg, pak de ANT van Bruno Latour erbij . Saab is dan "de actant"...haha..
