The Lembaga Kebudajaan Rakjat (EYD Lembaga Kebudayaan Rakyat, often abbreviated Lekra; meaning Institute for the People's Culture) was a literary and social movement associated with the Indonesian Communist Party. Founded in 1950, Lekra pushed for artists and writers to follow the doctrine of socialist realism. Increasingly vocal against non-Lekra members, the group rallied against the ''Manifes Kebudayaan'' (Cultural Manifesto), eventually leading to President Sukarno banning it. After the 30 September Movement, Lekra was banned together with the communist party. ==History== Lekra was founded in August 1950 as a response to the socio-nationalist Gelanggang Movement, with A.S. Dharma as its first secretary general. It published the ''Mukamidah'', meaning "introduction", as a manifest calling for young people, especially artists and writers, to assist in establishing a people's democratic republic. Its efforts in the North Sumatran capital of Medan were made successful by the efforts of Bakri Siregar. In 1956, Lekra released another ''Mukamidah'', based on socialist realism, which called for art to promote social progress and reflect social realities, instead of exploring the human psyche and emotions. Lekra urged artists to mingle with the people (''turun ke bawah'') to better understand the human condition. Lekra held its first national conference in Surakarta in 1959, which counted President Sukarno among the attendees. Beginning in 1962, Lekra became increasingly vocal against those it considered to be against the people's movement, including author and religious leader Haji Abdul Malik Karim Amrullah and documentarian HB Jassin. Those criticized by Lekra, including Amrullah and Jassin, went on to sign the Manifes Kebudayaan, or Cultural Manifesto, in 1963 as a response; after Lekra campaigned against the manifesto, Sukarno's government banned it in 1964, and ostracized its signatories. By 1963, Lekra claimed a total of 100,000 members spread throughout 200 branches. During this period, it came under closer scrutiny by the Indonesian National Armed Forces. After the failed 30 September Movement coup, popularly believed to have been promoted by the Communist Party, and the mass killings that followed, Sukarno's replacement Suharto and his New Order government banned Lekra together with the other communist-associated organizations. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lembaga Kebudajaan Rakjat」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
