Synopsis: This book introduces a new area of research known as "translator's posture". With technical, pedagogical, and sociological dimension, posture is valuable to learners, researchers, educators, and practitioners alike. The technical dimension aims to invite practitioners and more advanced learners to reflect on their position within translation environments and establish their posture as translators with more ecological awareness. The pedagogical framework is grounded in an original conceptual exploration of translation constraints, leading to an ecologically inspired perspective on translation affordances. The sociological aspect draws on the notion of authorial posture in sociology of literature. The book also presents the action research data collection from a translation theory module in a Hong Kong University, supporting the integration of postural learning into curricula. This book aims to benefit global academic and professional communities in translation studies.
