Course Summary

Our MA Western Marxism and Translation will equip you both with important subject knowledge in Western Marxism and translation skills from English into Chinese. You will study at a world-leading centre for Western Marxism, with modules focused on the Frankfurt School, and Western Marxist critiques of capitalism. You will also benefit from the excellent translation modules and expertise available at Essex.To cap off your studies, you will – with the help of individual supervision by both a subject expert and a translation expert – translate a not-yet-translated source from Western Marxism and write a scholarly commentary on it. This will place you in an excellent position to pursue an academic career (or another career in research or teaching).

Modules

Since the financial crisis of 2008, the social consequences, moral status, and even long-term viability of capitalism have come under renewed scrutiny. Does it foster economic growth and protect individual freedom, as its proponents claim? Or is it a destructive system out of control, as its detractors argue? Should the market be given even freer rein? Or should capitalism be reformed and restricted? Or should it be abolished and replaced altogether? And, if so, what would replace it?
