TL;DR: Stryker as mentioned in this paper made the connection between social structure, meaning and action that drives structural symbolic interaction today, and he reasserted the ability of the basic symbolic interactionist principle to inform a powerful theoretical view of how social structure and individuals that exist within it effect and constitute one another.
Abstract: Arguably, one of the most significant theoretical accomplishments of the 1960’s was Sheldon Stryker’s (1968, 1980) linking of symbolic interactionist ideas with mainstream sociological concerns about social structure. In a sense, Stryker rescued the study of symbolic interaction from a somewhat counterproductive fascination with idiosyncratic, creative, atypical behavioral productions in ill-defined, unconstraining behavioral settings. He reasserted the ability of the basic symbolic interactionist principle—that society shapes self which then shapes social behavior—to inform a powerful theoretical view of how social structure and the individuals that exist within it effect and constitute one another. Following role theory in concentrating on the stable, reoccurring interactions in our social system, Stryker once again made social psychology relevant to the mainstream concerns of our discipline. By linking the role patterns with the internalized meanings that roles had for individuals, he provided the connection between social structure, meaning and action that drives structural symbolic interaction today.

TL;DR: In this article, a male-to-female transsexual transitioning in an urban setting, San Francisco's Tenderloin, through bodily experience is explored, guided by figural and literal spiders and the effects of hormone replacement therapy in the form of horse urine (Premarin).
Abstract: In her essay “Dungeon Intimacies” (2005) Susan Stryker offers “autoethnography” as a methodology for theorizing embodiment and politics. She invites us to see how corporeality situates more generalizable knowledges. Following Stryker, this essay explores male-to-female transsexual transitioning in an urban setting, San Francisco's Tenderloin, through bodily experience. These accounts might appear as drifts in personal recollection, but they are meant to suggest, however speculatively, and without aiming toward universalizing, the sensuous transaction between body and environment. Apprehending the interplay of sensation and place, I suggest, requires an attention to streets, buildings, and sidewalks, but also other non-humans. Guided by figural and literal spiders and the effects of hormone replacement therapy in the form of horse urine (Premarin), this essay proffers that transsexuality is relational in terms of social, economic, and political milieus as well as spatial, affective, and speciated registers.

19 Feb 2003TL;DR: In this article, alternative means to decrease the deployment time for the new Army medium-weight brigade, comparing air and sealift from the United States with air and fast (but short-range) sealing from forward bases or preposition sites, were examined.
Abstract: Examines alternative means to decrease the deployment time for the new Army medium-weight brigade, comparing air and sealift from the United States with air and fast (but short-range) sealift from forward bases or preposition sites Historical experience and an assessment of US regional interests are used to determine how much warning time the United States typically has before major force deployments and where it is most likely to deploy such forces

TL;DR: This chapter advances an understanding of identity theory as originally created by Sheldon Stryker and developed over the past 50 years by providing definitions of key ideas in IT, propositions that identify important relationships, and scope conditions that outline the circumstances to which IT applies.
Abstract: In this chapter, we advance an understanding of identity theory (IT) as originally created by Sheldon Stryker and developed over the past 50 years. We address misunderstandings of IT concepts and connections. We provide definitions of key ideas in IT, propositions that identify important relationships, and scope conditions that outline the circumstances to which IT applies. Our goal is to provide scholars with an accurate view of IT so that it can continue to advance the science of human behavior in sociology and beyond.
