This book represents the collected articles based on the reports read during the seminar held in the Department of Comparative Culturology in 2010. The subjects of the authors differ greatly: from sacral nature of power up to some little-known pages of the biography of Michael Bulgakov and from creativity of francophone writers in Maghreb up to problems of a history of occurrence of writing. The idea of the seminar has arisen during discussions on general problems of culturology: it was found out, in particular, that, operating with categories of the disciplines (history, literary criticism, art history) and remain-ing within the frame of these, rigidly enough outlined frameworks, it was really difficult for us to compare investigated culture. There are two reasons: first, an accessory of participants of a seminar to different spheres of humani-tarian knowledge; second, their regional dissociation. The seminar was in-tended to promote a unified approach to the studied cultures.
