Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji dinamika konflik sosial berbasis tanah komunal antara Gendang Suku/Klan Nggorang dan Gendang Suku/Klan Pane. Kajian berfokus pada akar, sebab, tensi dan implikasi konflik. Kajian ini menggunakan metode penelitian deskriptif kualitatif. Teori yang digunakan adalah teori konflik dan teori perubahan sosial. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa akar konflik tanah komunal antara Gendang Suku/Klan Nggorang dan Gendang Suku/Klan Pane adalah perbedaan persepsi sejarah antara masyarakat Gendang Suku/Klan Nggorang dan masyarakat Gendang Suku/Klan Pane, kurang jelasya batas administrasi pertanaman di masa lalu, dan perjanjian kepemilikan tanah yang tidak jelas. Sebab konflik tanah komunal adalah tingginya nilai guna tanah, persepsi yang berbeda mengenai sejarah pembagian wilayah kekuasaan di masa lampau, tumpang tindihnya penggunaan lahan pertanian, ego untuk mempertahankan kebenaran sejarah dan melemahnya fungsi elit tradisional. Tensi konflik perbatasan antara Gendang Suku/ Klan Nggorang dan Gendang Suku/Klan Pane adalah adanya keterlibatan suku-suku lain yang menguasai wilayah di sekitar kedua suku dan masuknya politik dalam kehidupan masyarakat. Implikasi konflik tanah komunal ialah retaknya hubungan sosial, adanya kerugian waktu, ekonomi, dan tenaga. Saran yang diusulkan ialah mengagas kembali pertemuan adat (lonto leok) sebagai media penyelesaian konflik. Ini bertujuan agar keamanan masyarakat tercapai dan berujung pada kesejahteraan sosial masyarakat.

Indonesia’s social space in the past year has been filled with the phenomenon of hoax. The phenomenon of hoax develops alongwith the strengthening and thickening of the national political axis. Society is not treated by true news but it is filled withvarious emotional outbursts. The implication is that the community is divided into small groups based on interests. This causesthe social and cultural space to be rigid and inflexible. By Ulrich Beck, such phenomena are called risk society. Risks arise notonly because of technological developments in physical reason but also because of erroneous social and political practices. In itsdevelopment, Indonesian politics follows the trend of thickening into groups. A society divided into groups has the potential tostrengthen internal integration. As a result, the level of external adaptation is low. Politics is called the most vulnerable regionand is therefore responsible for social divisions. Because of politics, elements of society make social media not only a tool butalso their ultimate goal. There, the people practice various news provocation movements the truth of which cannot be verified.Such reality demands state responsibility in managing the media. Media management is not the same as controlling media.Managing the media is providing literacy education not only to the media and the political elite but also to the general public.Consequently, the logical reasoning for the existence of a civilized Indonesian society should be honed contiously.

This research is entitled Semiotic Analysis of Ideology Conflict (Media Analysis of Sociology in General Soedirman's Film). This research is based on the consideration that all things including films are not immune to the process and power relations. The presence of a film has a purpose and therefore has a certain meaning. This research focuses on the analysis of interarideological conflicts in the film General Soedirman. It is said, in the film, conflicts often occur in several segments. All conflicts are certainly based on certain roots and causes. Likewise, every conflict always has a certain dynamic. Whatever the reason, the dynamics of the conflict whether socially or symbolically in the film has a certain meaning. Therefore, the dynamics of the conflict can be analyzed and worth checking. The study uses Ralf Dahrendorf's conflict theory. The analysis of this study uses a qualitative interpretive concept. The method used as an analytical machine uses the Roland Barthes semiotics method. Roland Barthes' semiotics focuses the analysis of signs by looking at denotations, connotations and myths. The results showed a number of ideological conflicts that occurred in the film. Some of them are conflicts between narrow ideology of nationalism (chauvinism) vs. fascism, between nationalism vs. colonialism, between nationalism vs. communism, and communism vs. colonialism conflict. Understanding of ideological conflicts is urgently analyzed so that people are not manipulated by various ideas and ideas that emerge from certain regimes can be immediately overcome.
