Abstract

The development of Indonesian literature experienced several periods with its own uniqueness which is influenced by the political situation of each era. The diversity of aesthetic and extra-aesthetic values used by writers indicates the diversity of social backgrounds of writers in terms of social status, education, the surrounding environment and politics that influence their views. The diversity can be seen and observed in the writings put forward by readers, especially ideal readers who provide in-depth reviews.The purpose of this research is as follows: (1) to identify readers' receptions of the Indonesian literature of the 70's through books and mass media, (2) to classify readers' receptions of the social capital of Indonesian literature of the 70's, (3) to describe the influence of social capital owned by writers to their literary works. The theories used to analyze social capital are derived from the thought of Pierre Boudieu. Methodologically, this research uses qualitative approach. Data are collected through observation and documentary techniques. The data that has been collected are analyzed by taking the following steps: data reduction, presentation, and conclusion.Sociologically, the five poets studied in this research come from the upper middle class, most of them are born from the noble classes that has financially allowed them to attend college which at that time was still rare. Such a social background have allowed them have friends and colleage not only on a national scale, but also internationally. Habitus in their family puts them in an academic climate so that writing habit become part of what they often do. Habitus produces lifestyle differences and life practices derived from individual experiences in their social interaction.
