In 2015 he was retired from the University of Vienna. Since then he has been working as a freelance author, lecturer and researcher.

Research and Teaching

Social, economic and cultural history of the house and the family

The history of the 'private' way of life and domestic economic forms in a European and global comparison forms the first focus of R. Sieder's research and teaching. Together with M. Mitterauer, he wrote a history of family systems in Europe, which also outlined the research program of the Vienna research group for about ten years. In 1978, an international network of researchers enabled Sieder to do research in Cambridge / UK (SSRC Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure), which resulted in the translation of the first book into English and contributions to international anthologies. In 1982 Sieder presented his family social history (translated into several languages). In the same year his extensive contribution to a renowned standard work on the family in the 20th century in a comparison of the regions of the world appears.

Private life in the second modern age

From the 1990s on, Sieder's research and teaching were determined by recent developments and recent social problems. He examines the changes in family life through separation and divorce with a focus on the consequences for the shaping of parenthood and childhood. In case studies, he reconstructs the historically new situation of children in bi-local family systems after their parents separated. He demonstrates empirically that fathers can become more active and committed fathers after separating from their spouses. From autobiographical interviews he reconstructs the increasing demands of older people for a good life and discusses the recoding of romantic love in the Second Modern Age and its implications for life planning. In 2008, based on several years of project research, he published a qualitative study on patchwork family systems, which is also used in couple and family therapy. This leads to invitations of the author to conferences of psychotherapeutic, psychoanalytic and sociological associations in Austria, Germany, Switzerland and the USA as well as to several lectures and training seminars for psychotherapists within the framework of the ÖAS. In a volume edited with Ernst Langthaler, R. Sieder publishes a comparative study of the forms of house, household and family in South American, Chinese and European regions. The conclusion: In all the regions of the world examined, the secular tendency towards the emancipation of young small families from larger kinship and household systems can be found in the course of the 20th century; they tend towards significantly fewer children, more committed parenting of mothers and fathers, the emancipation of single mothers from patriarchal, state, municipal and medical tutelage and increasingly active paternity: engl. fathering, as well as relatively more gender equality in public discourse and partially in everyday life.

Narrative-autobiographical interview and text analysis

Due to the research questions relating to the 20th and early 21st centuries, R. Sieder is intensively involved in research and teaching with qualitative social and cultural science methods and techniques. In the narrative interview and in the sequential text analysis he finds suitable methods, but increasingly adapts them to his own research projects and extends the debate and the like. a. around the question of the special type of historical explanation: narrative and explanatory sentences are combined in the reconstructive and consecutive theory type that can explain “how it came about”.

In international lectures, lectures and seminars, he conveys the concept of an understanding historical cultural and social science that not only measures structural data, but also uses qualitative methods to reconstruct the actors' autobiographies, which symbolize the structuring practice and its meanings. In his empirical research projects he increasingly focuses on the action-guiding knowledge of the actors in social groups and institutions. He supplements the sequential text analysis with elements of the documentary method. In his empirical study on patchwork family systems, he makes it clear that autobiographical remembering and storytelling (in everyday life as well as in autobiographical, narrative interviews) are not solipsistic, but rather take place interactively and to currently present or absent interaction partners (partners, children, colleagues, etc. .) are addressed.

For historical social and cultural studies

The historicization of the subject of society, post-structuralist, sociological theories of practice (Bourdieu, Giddens et al.), Social-psychological theories on ontogenesis, phenomenological theories on everyday life and lifeworld (Schütz, Luckmann) and the like. a. change the concept of social history. After a critical reconstruction of his history, Sieder pleads for the expansion of social history and historical social science by paying attention to the cultural practices that symbolize meanings and that are connected with social practices. This is the only way to “return the subject” to cultural studies without relapsing into subjectivism.

Violence against children and young people, flight and exile

R. Sieder applies his concept of historical social and cultural studies in research projects. From 2010–2012, on behalf of the Vienna City Government, he and a number of employees investigate violence against children and young people in urban, church and private children's or educational homes. 2016–2017 he reconstructs the course of refugee migration and the exile of Syrian doctors and pharmacists.

Everyday Life and Government Policy

Around 2018, Sieder again researched everyday life in the city and state of Vienna, but with a different main question. “What drives the citizens of a community to be interested in questions of politics? Suffering, lack, perceived injustice, your own interest in benefiting from state and municipal services? The reforms of the Red Vienna achieved varying degrees of success without radically changing ownership and ownership. And yet they changed one dimension of the capitalist mode of production: everyday life. ”After depicting Vienna's welfare and housing policy, he is working on a synthesis of his research on everyday life and government policy in Red Vienna.
