Ever concerned with the contextualization of both research and the researcher’s stance in Translation Studies, Daniel Simeoni called for a cross-cultural examination of translators (Simeoni, 1998, p. 4). This article is an overview of research inspired by Simeoni’s call and draws on work by French sociologist Bernard Lahire, who expands Bourdieu’s concept of habitus to allow for the view that “every singular individual is a bearer of a plurality of dispositions and passes through a plurality of social contexts” (Lahire, 2003, p. 342). Building upon Meylaert’s assertion that the “plural and dynamic habitus” of translators must be taken into account (Meylaerts, 2008, p. 94) when searching for manifestations of internalized dispositions, this article presents the results of a study conducted in the provinces of Ontario (Canada) and Havana (Cuba).
