Abstract

This study aims to examine the representation of the oppressed class in the poetry of Lekra (Lembaga Kebudajaan Rakjat, Institute of People's Culture, 1950–1965) through diction analysis created by poets. Qualitative descriptive approach was chosen as the basis of solving the problem. The data was taken from the anthology of Red Falls which contains one hundred poetry titles. The data were collected by literature study method. Data analysis was carried out in a qualitative descriptive manner. The theory used is the sociology of literature and the theory of Marxism D.N. Aidit. The oppressed class is represented by various variants of diction in the form of phrases. The word “people” is the core of the diction consisting of “farmers” and “laborers”. “The people” according to the Marxist theory of D.N. Aidit is an oppressed class consisting of “peasants” and “workers”. The meaning of diction includes: respecting, strengthening, and ideological conception of the people. The conceptual meaning in diction shows that the poets deepen the concept of the oppressed class. Therefore, Lekra's poems are conceptual and not propaganda.
