Subnature

Subnature is the undesirable by-products of urbanization, industrialization, war, abandonment, and societal collapse. The concept was coined by historian David Gissen. Subnature includes things such as smog, dust, exhaust gas, industrial smoke, sewage, debris, rubble, vermin, and weeds.

The concept has been used in historical and theoretical writing on architecture,{{cite book|last1=Gissen|first1=David|title=Subnature: Architecture's Other Environments|date=2009|publisher=Princeton Architectural Press|isbn=978-1568987774|pages=240}} literature,{{cite journal|last1=Groves|first1=Jason|title=Subnature Writing|journal=The Yearbook of Comparative Literature|date=2012|volume=58|issue=58|pages=151–154}} music,{{cite journal|last1=LaBelle|first1=Brandon|title=Subnature, Phantom Memory, and Dirty Listening|journal=Background Noise: Perspectives on Sound Art|date=2015}} and food studies.{{cite web|title=Subnature and Culinary Culture|url=https://humanitieswritlarge.duke.edu/subnature-and-culinary-culture}}{{Cite web |date=2014-10-01 |title=The Subnature Smokehouse {{!}} Duke Today |url=https://today.duke.edu/2014/10/smokehouseii |access-date=2024-10-07 |website=today.duke.edu |language=en}}
