摘　　要：作为美国西部神话和民族意识的建构者,詹姆斯·菲尼莫·库柏小说创作的历史文化意义一直以来均受到了中外评论界的关注。但对库柏小说的文化、历史意义的强调往往遮蔽了其作品中的艺术成就。结合西方诗画和视觉中心主义传统,以及18世纪流行于英国的如画理论,探讨了库柏小说叙事中的视觉优先倾向以及风景描写中的如画特质。正是库柏对北美风景的如画描写和视觉优先的现实主义的精确笔法,不仅使其小说充满了诗情画意的艺术魅力和鲜明的本土特色,也使其笔下的风景成为美国重要的形象以及凝结民族情感的材料。For a long time, the emphasis on the cultural and social significance of the novels by James Fenimore Cooper, who has been regarded as a builder of American Myth and advocator of American national consciousness, has overshadowed his artistic achievement as a writer. This paper intends to examine Cooper s primacy of vision and picturesque description of the American wilderness and the characters in the light of picturesque theory and ocularcentrism, and holds that it is the picturesque description of the American landscape that makes Cooper s writing unique for being used as sources to build national consciousness.
