Research focus

Spode became known in the 1990s for his work on the cultural and social history of alcohol consumption . He emphasizes the global and at the same time cyclical character of the discourses on alcohol (“thematising conjunctures”). His thesis of a long-term marginalization of intoxication in modern times and the corresponding revaluation of drinking as an addiction disease has become common knowledge. At the same time, Spode is one of the founders of historical tourism research . Together with Walter Eder and Heinz Hahn from the Starnberg Study Group for Tourism, he set up the Tourism History working group in 1989 , the first organization of its kind in the world; In 1991 he published the world's first anthology on this research field. The tourism viewed Spode it as a product of modern ambivalence about the "progress": Genuin is the tourist trip a "journey through time with return ticket," the tourist area a "romantic Chronotopie". Further research work includes a. health prevention, changes in eating habits, tobacco consumption, the development of labor disputes and the analysis of socio-political discourses and processes.
