Abstract

This study aimed to examine the critical representation of figures, symbols, and power in political communication through a critical phenomenological approach combined with bibliometric analysis. It mapped research trends, key authors, dominant keywords, and citation networks that emerged in phenomenological studies of political communication during 2010–2025. Data were collected using Publish or Perish software and analyzed with Excel and VOSviewer to illustrate relationships among keywords, authors, and citations. The findings showed a significant increase in publications since 2021, with dominant themes including gender representation, populist figures, and the symbolism of power in digital media. The results also indicated that scholarly discourse in this field had become increasingly fragmented while simultaneously consolidating around certain clusters, particularly those related to communicative action, political narratives, and identity politics. The study concluded that combining bibliometric methods with critical phenomenology revealed the discursive landscape and representational biases in contemporary political communication. It further provided conceptual and methodological contributions to the development of political communication studies grounded in the critique of representation and symbolic experience.

Abstract

The representation of political figures, symbols, and power in contemporary political communication has become increasingly complex as digital media expand and political narratives evolve. However, a comprehensive understanding of how these issues have been examined within phenomenological political communication studies remains limited. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the critical representation of figures, symbols, and power in political communication through a critical phenomenological perspective integrated with bibliometric analysis. The research employed a bibliometric approach combined with critical phenomenology to map publication trends, influential authors, dominant keywords, and citation networks in phenomenological studies of political communication published between 2010 and 2025. Data were collected using Publish or Perish software and analyzed with Microsoft Excel and VOSviewer to visualize relationships among authors, keywords, and citations. The findings revealed a substantial increase in publications since 2021, indicating growing scholarly interest in the field. The dominant themes identified included gender representation, populist political figures, identity politics, and the symbolism of power in digital communication environments. The analysis further demonstrated that scholarly discourse has become increasingly fragmented while simultaneously consolidating around several influential clusters, particularly those related to communicative action, political narratives, and symbolic representation. The study concludes that integrating bibliometric methods with critical phenomenology effectively uncovers the discursive landscape, intellectual structure, and representational biases in contemporary political communication research. These findings advance political communication studies conceptually and methodologically by strengthening critical perspectives on representation, symbolic experience, and power relations in political discourse.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the political communication styles of female leaders in local governance by applying the concepts of personal figuration and inclusive communication based on mutual relations. Using a systematic literature review (SLR), the research analyzed 15 Scopus-indexed articles published between 2015 and 2025 that addressed themes of female leadership, political communication, and digital representation. The thematic analysis focused on three core issues: how leaders' lived experiences shaped their communication styles; which elements of inclusive, mutual communication were employed to build socio-political relations; and how digital strategies contributed to political legitimacy. The findings revealed that narratives of personal experience and community values strongly influenced the communication styles of local female leaders. They adopted empathetic and dialogical approaches to strengthen relationships with constituents and strategically used digital media as a space for affective, personalized political representation. The study concluded that women's political communication styles represented symbolic constructions rooted in social, gendered, and cultural contexts. These insights contributed to the development of gender-sensitive political communication theory and highlighted practical implications for female leadership strategies in the digital era.
