This innovative work maps the two levels at which the linguistic, spatial, temporal, and social conditions of translation studies operate: the individual researcher and the discipline as a whole. It makes an outstanding contribution to the self-reflexivity of translation studies, a crucial and even indispensable perspective for a field undergoing today a set of profound transformations.

As Translation Studies broadens its reach, the positionality and situatedness of authors, translators, publishers, viewers and readers as well as scholars and critics becomes ever more important. This volume emphasizes and explores this theoretical premise. Its contribution to the field is invaluable, and interesting to read.

Positionalities of Translation Studies introduces a critical and multifarious perspective to the question of individual and disciplinary self-reflexivity and the situated nature of translation research. By engaging leading scholars and fresh approaches from traditions beyond the Anglophone sphere in a strong dialogue, the volume brings conceptual depth to translation research. The concluding conversation brings forth essential and topical issues facing translation research today, such as transdisciplinarity, ethical repercussions of anthropocentrism and the challenges of non-human communication or research as a tool for decolonization.
