English term (edited):
figure-cum-trope
رمز
It is "figure" and not "figuer"
"It’s this figure-cum-trope of “the engaged intellectual speaking truth to power” against daunting odds that pulses through both of these important studies"

–noun 1. Rhetoric. a. any literary or rhetorical device, as metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, and irony, that consists in the use of words in other than their literal sense.

–noun Rhetoric. any expressive use of language, as a metaphor, simile, personification, or antithesis, in which words are used in other than their literal sense, or in other than their ordinary locutions, in order to suggest a picture or image or for other special effect.
The literal translation would be something like استعارة وكناية but I think it would be better to use رمز in Arabic.
