Dr Andrea Musumeci is SRA of HCLS. His book, just published in 2025 in Springer’s New Frontiers in Translation Studies, introduces a new area of research known as “translator’s posture”. Placed in technical, pedagogical, and sociological dimensions, posture is valuable to learners, researchers, educators, and practitioners. The technical dimension aims to invite practitioners and advanced learners to reflect on their position within translation environments and establish their posture as translators with more ecological awareness. The pedagogical dimension is grounded in an original conceptual exploration of translation constraints, leading to an ecologically inspired perspective on translation affordances. The sociological dimension draws on the notion of authorial posture in sociology of literature. The book also presents the action research data collected from a translation theory module at CityUHK, supporting the integration of postural learning into curricula. This book aims to benefit global academic and professional communities in translation studies.
