Ronald Daus

[3] Focusing on «extra-European cities, predominantly in the Southern hemisphere»,[4] introducing new study objects in the traditional science of Romania, innovating in cultural anthropology, ethnology and sociology in the areas of popular culture, urban human settlements and architecture, Daus is responsible for «new approaches to excel old theories»,[5] contributing for a better understanding of contemporary world».

Ronald Daus studied Romance philology and languages (Portuguese, Spanish, French, Italian) in Hamburg, Lisbon, Rio de Janeiro and Kiel.

Northeastern Brazil would be the first place where he found testimonies of mischievous merriments of human history[10] and an angry Latin America.

[11] Further, Daus would demonstrate, on the other hand, how other Portuguese settlements, on the other side of the world,[12] faraway in Malaysia, would contribute to the «development and maintenance of particular cultural and linguistic practices» [13] at a time when he was seriously concerned with a trifling problem he dared to confront: the wrath against colonialism.

[14] In European expansion, linguistic and cultural interact of humans living overseas, spread all around the world in small groups or vast populations, generated “Euroamerican” and “Euroasian” communities.

As inspiring instances of extreme settling in eastern big cities, he mentions Vienne, Istanbul, Teheran, Bombay, Chengdu, Peking, Johannesburg, Cape Town, Manaus, Caracas.

[15] Daus[16] has been busy, describing and studding such phenomena for over a decade, since he reported the existence of a “European fundament” in large extra-European cities (1995).
