About Us
We are a school of social studies and cultural dynamics, dedicated to the descriptive analysis of human society. Our mission is to provide theoretical frameworks and practical tools for understanding cultural complexity.
We are committed to analyzing and describing social and cultural dynamics, without prejudice, to build a deeper understanding of human interactions.
We believe scientific knowledge must be both rigorous and accessible. Our methodology combines academic depth with clarity of expression.
Our studies start from regional comparisons to highlight both the universal and cultural particularities. We are BarelyCivilized – on the border between order and complexity.
Descriptive social studies are research approaches that focus on the detailed observation and recording of social and cultural phenomena as they manifest in reality, without intervening or manipulating variables. At BarelyCivilized, we use these studies to map behaviors, norms, and interactions within specific communities, providing a solid foundation for more complex comparative analyses.
Our platform includes regional filtering tools that allow you to select and compare data and case studies from different geographical areas (e.g., Eastern Europe, the Balkans, Scandinavia). These filters help you identify similarities, differences, and unique trends in social and cultural dynamics, facilitating a deep understanding of the regional context.
Our lessons are based on a combination of theoretical frameworks from sociology, anthropology, and political science. These include, but are not limited to, social construction theory, institutional analysis, postcolonial studies, and intersectional approaches. Each framework is explained and applied to concrete case studies to illustrate how theories help us decipher reality.
Yes, absolutely. Our materials are structured progressively, from basic concepts to advanced analyses. The Methodology section provides clear guides on how to read and interpret social data, regardless of your initial level of preparation. We recommend starting with the introductory modules in the "Lessons" section to familiarize yourself with our terminology and approaches.
