Journalism / posturer
English term or phrase: posture
En el siguiente texto periodístico http://www.economist.com/node/17899714 , en el cual se habla de como la postura y la corrección influyen enormemente en las personas desde su infancia, aparece el término "posturer", el cual no localizo en ningún diccionario y no encuentro la manera correcta de traducirlo. ¿Qué traducción me sugieren?.
¡Gracias!

postura


Explanation:
El término más exacto para *posture* es el que le corresponde en castellano. En el sitio que marcaste se relaciona una actitud física de posición con una actitud mental personal. Por eso se hace un correlato entre las dos: la disposición corporal y una manera de actuar.
Se puede hablar por ejemplo de *una postura política*, o *estaba sentado en una postura incómoda*. El término es amplio y corresponde en ambos casos.

Se debe cambiar la pregunta de la consulta por posturer. Posture a secas es postura, pero tu pregunta es sobre posturer... :-)

Abogo por sujeto en lugar de persona porque en una parte del texto se refiere a las especies, humanos incluidos:

Big is dominant and in species after species, humans included, postures that enhance the posturer’s apparent size cause others to treat him as if he were more powerful
