Political communication has changed after the appearance of the Internet and social networks. In this sense, it is essential to understand that the communication landscape has been transformed. The main objective of the research is the use of Twitter as a tool for political communication, taking as a case study the far-right political party Vox regarding gender violence in the autonomous elections of Andalusia in 2018. The methodological design is qualitative and quantitative by analyzing the official Twitter accounts of Vox, Santiago Abascal (president of the party) and Francisco Serrano, candidate for the Andalusian regional elections of 2018. For this, the statistical program SPSS has been used in which they have been analyzed more than1000 tweets related to a topic of great relevance to theparty such as gender violence and the content analyses. The results obtained show that gender violence is a topic discussed on Twitter by the three profiles analyzed, although the dissemination and periodicity of updates on this topic are different from each other. As a main conclusion, it can be advanced that Vox has made an exceptional use of Twitter as a discursive narrative tool. Similarly, gender violence does not appear on social networks as often, although in the case of the Andalusian candidate it is a recurring theme in his interventions on Twitter

The regional elections in Catalonia held on 21 December 2017 received wide media coverage, far beyond Spanish media, due to separatist tension in that territory and was one of the main topics in most of the world’s media. Within this process social networks, especially Twitter, obtained crucial relevance given the interest aroused by the political leaders’ publications, since in those elections the debate transcended the usual ideological divisions of right and left and became a struggle between constitutionalists and separatists. This paper analyses the presence and influence of the main candidates of the Catalan political parties on Twitter. To achieve this, a mainly quantitative, mixed methodology based on big data was carried out where all the tweets issued by the candidates during the electoral campaign were analysed.

The phenomenon of a single candidate in simultaneous regional elections in Indonesia has occurred since 2015. In 2018 there were 18 regional elections with a single candidate and 25 regions in 2020. The implementation of simultaneous regional elections in Kediri district in 2020 was marked by the presence of a single candidate is interesting to study more, because it is new. The main question in this research is why there is phenomenon a single candidate in the Kediri district election and how is the configuration of political communication for the emergence of a single candidate. The purpose of this study was to determine the process of the phenomenon emergence of a single candidate in the Kediri district election and to determine the configuration of political communication for the emergence of a single candidate. This research uses a case study approach by describing political facts in the field. Research informants are consisted of election administrators, members of political parties, academicians and community leaders. The results showed that the occurrence of a single candidate in the Kediri district was because all political parties provided support for 1 pair of candidates. This political fact is marked by the configuration of political communication through the recommendation of political parties from the central leadership council (DPP). Even though there has been a selection of prospective pairs of candidates at the regional level (DPC DPD), the transactional communication by candidatos uses an approach with a number of political party officials both at the regional and central levels. The recommendation of this research is to change the regulations to avoid the single candidate appear in the next regional election., especially the minimum requirement for support from candidates and the proposal to be returned to the election by DPRD members therefore would generate truly regional representatives. Fenomena calon tunggal pada pilkada serentak di Indonesia telah terjadi sejak tahun 2015 dengan 3 pasangan calon tunggal. Pada tahun 2018 terdapat 18 pilkada dengan calon tunggal hingga tahun 2020 ada sejumlah 25 daerah yang memiliki calon tunggal. Pelaksanaan pilkada serentak di kabupaten Kediri tahun 2020 diwarnai dengan hadirnya calon tunggal sehingga menarik untuk dikaji lebih mendalam karena merupakan fenomena baru bagi proses demokrasi di kabupaten Kediri. Masalah dalam penelitian ini, mengapa terjadi fenomena calon tunggal pada pilkada kabupaten Kediri dan bagaimana konfigurasi komunikasi politik atas munculnya calon tunggal pada pilkada kabupaten Kediri. Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui proses munculnya fenomena calon tunggal pada pilkada kabupaten Kediri dan untuk mengetahui konfigurasi komunikasi politik atas munculnya calon tunggal pada pilkada kabupaten Kediri. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan studi kasus dengan mendeskripsikan fakta politik dilapangan. Informan penelitian terdiri dari penyelenggara pilkada, anggota partai politik, akademisi dan tokoh masyarakat. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa terjadinya calon tunggal pada pilkada kabupaten Kediri tahun 2020 karena semua partai politik memberikan dukungan kepada 1 pasangan calon. Calon perseorangan tidak mampu memenuhi jumlah minimal dukungan yang dipersyaratkan. Fakta politik ini ditandai dengan adanya konfigurasi komunikasi politik melalui rekomendasi partai politik dari dewan pimpinan pusat (DPP). Meski sudah dilakukan penjaringan bakal pasangan calon di tingkat daerah/cabang (DPC/DPD). Komunikasi trasaksional oleh calon menggunakan pendekatan dengan sejumlah pengurus partai politik baik ditingkat daerah maupun pusat. Rekomendasi dari penelitian ini adalah perubahan peraturan agar tidak muncul calon tunggal pada pilkada selanjutnya terutama syarat minimal dukungan calon perseorangan serta usulan pemilihan kepala daerah dikembalikan kepada pemilihan oleh anggota DPRD. Rekomendasi ini diharapkan dapat memunculkan beberapa calon kepala daerah yang benar-benar merupakan representasi daerah.

Abstract Introduction: The seemingly unshakable bipartisan political system in Spain started to crumble in the wake of the European Elections of 2014, giving way to a more fragmented distribution of seats. Such process crystallised in the Regional Elections of 2015, highlighting an already anticipated decay of traditional parties PP and PSOE and rise of populist parties like Podemos. Materials and Methods: Focusing on the discourse of Spanish politicians on Twitter, as one of the most recent political communication tools politicians had to learn to deal with, this paper offers a triangulation of quantitative and qualitative analysis. Results: We discuss, from a communication perspective, similarities and differences among parties and politicians on whether communication 2.0 changed and/or enriched political discourse leading up to a redistribution of parliamentary seats. Discussion: This paper stress the impact of social networks and the implementation of different communication strategies to address the collapse of bipartisanship in Spain.

New technologies allow politicians to spread their messages omitting the role of mediators. In this context, the Internet has also promoted the emergence of a new actor, digital opinion leaders, who go beyond traditional politics and seek to set the public agenda. One of the main questions nowadays is whether social media, and in particular Twitter as a consolidated tool for political communication, is only used as a sounding board for their political statements, spurring the messages of populist forces. With this in mind, the main objective of this research is to explore the influence of the far-right in the public debate of political leaders on Twitter, analyzing the specific case of the Andalusian regional elections held in December 2018. These elections can be considered a political turning point, with an extreme right party winning seats in a Spanish regional election for the first time in 35 years. In this paper we analyze if Vox used a differentiated strategy via this social network compared to the candidates of the traditional parties: PSOE, PP, Ciudadanos, and Adelante Andalucía. Using content analysis on Twitter as a method, this research determines how Vox candidates worked as influencers of the digital political debate, despite being extra-parliamentary. Vox marked the agenda for the rest of the leaders, while generating great expectation among the audience.

Populism is a phenomenon that has been acquiring great relevance over recent years in the United States and Europe. Literature on the subject has identified the existence of a populist style that also affects political communication. The aim of this article is to analyze the structure of issues and the functions of messages circulated by a populist party in order to determine the presence and incidence of this style’s main components. The methodology is based on a quantitative analysis of the content of the Twitter profiles of the Spanish political party Podemos and its leader, Pablo Iglesias, during the 2016 Spanish elections. Totally, 2,612 tweets were analyzed. The results allow the identification of a strategy of complementarity, which appears as a new component in the communication style of populism in the digital environment. Podemos is also seen to lean toward antielitism and its leader toward the communicative construction of “the people.”

A Performance

In the regional elections of 2010, a new political party, The Best Party (Besti flokkurinn), ran for office in Reykjavík under the leadership of mayor candidate, actor and comedian, Jón Gnarr. The Best Party’s campaign was very successful, even if it made no attempt to argue policy or (apparently) use any of the methods used in a traditional campaign. This article deals with the question of whether and how a political campaign can be an effective political performance or be seen as political activism, using some of the Best Party’s campaigning methods as a case study. The campaign is studied as a performance, drawing on the theories of Richard Schechner and Michel Foucault. While Jón Gnarr and the Best Party seemed to break with traditional politics, the article asks whether they really did that. What changes when a performer runs for office? Did the Best Party send in the clowns, or were they already there?

Methodological Approaches

Inquiry into the causes and outcomes of transnational migration spans numerous disciplines, scales and methodological approaches.  Fewer studies focus on immobility.  Utilizing the Kazakh population of Mongolia as a case study, this paper considers how non-migrants view the economic and cultural costs of migrating.  We posit that three factors, including local place attachments specific to Mongolia, access to information about life in Kazakhstan and the importance of maintaining social networks in Mongolia, contribute substantially to their decision to not migrate. Our findings suggest that the decision to not migrate can be very strategic for non-migrants in highly transnational contexts.  

Drowning in negativism, self-hate, doubt, madness: Linguistic insights into Sylvia Plath’s experience of depression

Linguistic Approach

This paper demonstrates how a range of linguistic methods can be harnessed in pursuit of a deeper understanding of the ‘lived experience’ of psychological disorders. It argues that such methods should be applied more in medical contexts, especially in medical humanities. Key extracts from The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath are examined, as a case study of the experience of depression. Combinations of qualitative and quantitative linguistic methods, and inter- and intra-textual comparisons are used to consider distinctive patterns in the use of metaphor, personal pronouns and (the semantics of) verbs, as well as other relevant aspects of language. Qualitative techniques provide in-depth insights, while quantitative corpus methods make the analyses more robust and ensure the breadth necessary to gain insights into the individual experience. Depression emerges as a highly complex and sometimes potentially contradictory experience for Plath, involving both a sense of apathy and inner turmoil. It involves a sense of a split self, trapped in a state that one cannot overcome, and intense self-focus, a turning in on oneself and a view of the world that is both more negative and more polarized than the norm. It is argued that a linguistic approach is useful beyond this specific case.
