摘要：大卫·布林是美国当代著名科幻作家，他的著名科幻长篇作品“提升”三部曲讲述了人类与基因改造动物携手应对外星挑战的故事。“提升”系列以具有千万年物种改造历史的宇宙文明为背景，形成了以混杂性动物形象为核心的动物叙事，在批判基因改造技术造成的生命异化同时，又畅想了基因技术的变革潜力。“提升”三部曲中的诗性动物语言突破了人类中心主义的认知范式，以“生成—动物”的文学叙事形式展现了人类与动物相互生成的无限可能。

Title: David Brin and Animal Narratives in the Uplift Trilogy
Abstract: David Brin, a renowned American sci-fi author, is known for his Uplift trilogy, which depicts humans and genetically altered animals facing alien threats. Set in a universe molded by millennia of species enhancement, the series highlights the lives of hybrid creatures. It critiques the detachment from life due to genetic engineering with animal-centric narrative and envisions the transformative potential of biotechnology. The trilogy’s animal language challenges human-centric views, using a “becoming-animal” narrative to explore the potential for mutual change between humans and animals.
Keywords: David Brin; Technology colonialism; Animal narrative; Animal ethics
