Abstract

Indonesian literature in West Sumatra in the New Order era was centralized in order to maintain uniformity of
the New Order to preserves the power. Some writers in West Sumatra, including A.A. Navis and Darman Moenir,
took a role as agents of the centrality and uniformity in offering a particular standard for the writers, literary critics,
and literary history in West Sumatra. This paper examines how the influence and impact on the standardization
of the literary critics, writers, and literary history in the area of West Sumatera in the Reformation era. This paper
implicitly uses Bourdieu's sociological theory, using primary sources of essays, notes, articles, and other forms. This
study reveals that there have been number of attempts aiming to deconstruct standarization designed by the previous
regime. However, those attempts were widely seen as attempts to destabilize situation in this area.
