Abstract
This study aims at analyzing Sandiwara Sastra, initiated by the Ministry of Education and Culture, as a form of cultural strategy and literary canonization. This research explores the adaptation of Indonesian literature from the early 1900s to the 2000s into audio formats. This research uses a qualitative approach as it focuses on scrutinizing the texts of literary works and their audio adaptations. The result reveals that the adaptation into audio format is made as a cultural strategy for promoting literary works to the young generation that has become acquainted with the digital elements. The transformation of the texts into audio formats is also regarded as an attempt to strengthen the canonization of the literary works and the articulation of several issues, such as culture, ideology, and history. This study contributes to the study of literary adaptation as a strategy for not only disseminating literary works to the young generation but also empowering the status of the works in the era of state-of-the-art technology.
