JAKARTA, KOMPAS — Literary communities have flourished in various parts of the country during the last several years. These communities are moving in a new direction, namely as part of the literacy movement and empowerment of the people at the grassroots level.

This community consists of various groups, ranging from children, adults, students, employees in urban areas, to housewives in the village. Observers see this as a symptom of literary democratization that can lead to the birth of various alternative discourses.
