摘　　要：美国西部沙漠书写的历史由来已久,总体来看可划分为三个主要的阶段:19世纪末以前对沙漠的鄙弃与征服书写;19世纪末至20世纪上半叶对沙漠的美学与生命书写;20世纪中期以来多元文化的"去浪漫"书写。通过不同阶段作家共同体的集体书写,原本被排除在美国地理和文化边界之外的、贫瘠无用的美西大沙漠最终被育化成一个集自然、历史、文化于一体的充满活力的生态系统,因而美国西部沙漠书写堪称文学文本改变地理环境的成功范例。The west and southwest American desert writing has a long history. The focus of this kind of writing has,generally speaking,undergone three stages： the contempt and conquest of the deserts prior to the end of the 19 th century,the desert esthetics and life systems between the end of the 19 th century and the first half of the 20 th century,and the multi-cultural,de-romanticizing writing primarily by aboriginal writers since the middle of the 20 th century. As a result of all these collective efforts of the writers＇ community in this region,the barren and useless ＂wasteland＂of western American deserts that used to be excluded from American geographical and cultural borders has,eventually,been cultivated into an energetic,life supporting ecosystem which integrates nature,history and culture. Thus it can be said that the west and southwest American desert writing sets a successful model of literary texts transforming the geographical environment.
