Hasso Spode (born 1951 in Friedrichshagen) is a German historian and sociologist.
After his childhood in East Germany, Spode fled to West Berlin where he studied philosophy, history, theology, and sociology. He is a professor in Hanover and director of the Historical Archive on Tourism at Technische Universität Berlin. [1] The main focus of his research is historical anthropology and cultural history, but he also works in the field of social and political history. He has published some 300 scientific articles in 13 languages, mostly in German, and has written or edited more than a dozen books. [2] He was or is co-editor of Annals of Tourism Research , Voyage. Studies on Travel & Tourism , Zeitschrift für Tourismuswissenschaft and other journals. He was a member of the executive council of the Chinese Center of Drug Policy Studies and of the Alcohol and Drugs History Society and he was vice-president of the Tourism Committee of the International Sociological Association.
In the 1980s Spode analysed the Nazi leisure organization Strength Through Joy as a means of social politics in the Third Reich. In 1989 he launched the "study-group for tourism history", the first institution of its kind; in 1991 he published the worldwide first omnibus book in this field of research. In this connection, he stresses the romantic character of the tourist consumption and classifies tourist travel as "time travel aback" and, drawing on Reinhart Koselleck and Michel Foucault, the touristic space as a chronotope. [3] [4] He has also worked on the history and structures of alcohol use and misuse, [5] including the phenomenon of addiction, which he sees as a physical-biological process and at the same time as a social construction that reflects the need for self-control in modern societies, an analytic dualism comparable to the wave-particle duality of light. His book on the Power of Drunkenness is held at least in 190 libraries. [6] Spode has also worked on labour disputes, tobacco consumption and other historical and political topics.
Tourism in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) was organised through the state via Reisebüro der DDR (Travel Bureau of the GDR).
In literary theory and philosophy of language, the chronotope is how configurations of time and space are represented in language and discourse. The term was taken up by Russian literary scholar Mikhail Bakhtin who used it as a central element in his theory of meaning in language and literature. The term itself comes from the Russian xронотоп, which in turn is derived from the Greek χρόνος ('time') and τόπος ('space'); it thus can be literally translated as "time-space." Bakhtin developed the term in his 1937 essay "Forms of Time and of the Chronotope in the Novel". Here Bakhtin showed how different literary genres operated with different configurations of time and space, which gave each genre its particular narrative character.
