Abstract： As a new environmental movement theory, bioregionalism embodied in the American western literature calls for a regionalized life style and production paradigm. “Bioregion” is the habitus of such writers as Peter Berg, where they guide human beings to return to a more traditional, more natural way of life via integrating cultural biology with natural biology. Gary Snyder, on the other hand, called for people to go back to the wildness and advocate a kind of universal ethics with deep, democratic, inclusive and eternal value. Rereading the classic works of American western literature can not only facilitate the research process of American bioliterary writers and works but also construct a more effective ecocriticism paradigm.
