CURRICULUM VITAE

LIST OF PUBLICATIONS

Ways of social and inter-human communication, changes in social norms and behavioral patterns, transformations of the world image in societies are my main research interests. Last few years I’m working on my project of studying the institute of Hospitality in ancient China in Germany, first as a guest research fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation at the Ruhr-University Bochum, and now as Gerda Henkel Foundation research fellow. My host institutions are Ruhr-University and Ludwig-Maximilians-University in Munich.
I started to study the ancient Chinese hospitality when I was invited to take part in the project of the “History of Private Life” at the Institute of General History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Later it became one of the main subjects of my doctoral thesis "Institutions of “friends” and “guests” in Ancient China. Evolution of the social and politic phenomena and of the appropriate terminology during the Western Zhou, Springs and Autumns and Warring States periods". On this page I uploaded some of my papers, written in different times, related to “Friendship”, “Hospitality” and some other subjects. 

I will be grateful for your comments and opinions, and ready to discuss the points in question.
