Socio‐nature is a concept that is used to argue that society and nature are inseparable and should not be analyzed in abstraction from each other. The concept is rooted in – but operates as a critique of – Marxist approaches such as historical materialism and poststructural approaches such as actor‐network theory. Drawing on the former, it emphasizes temporality and processes of becoming, while its engagement with poststructural thought leads to a focus on ontological hybridity. At the heart of research on socio‐natures is an interest in processes of their production, and especially on the labor that is involved and the uneven power relationships that emerge.
