Abstract
This study aims to analyze the representation of Batak culture in the documentary film Singkam Mabarbar by employing Roland Barthes’ semiotic approach. Singkam Mabarbar itself is a Batak expression meaning “catastrophe” and is rooted in agrarian conflicts affecting the Batak community. Through the analysis of signs at the levels of denotation, connotation, and myth, this research demonstrates that the film does not merely depict Batak culture but also constructs an ideological narrative of identity and resistance. The representation of Batak culture is manifested through three main rituals: Patarias Debata, the ritual in the frankincense forest, and the ritual at the tomb of Sisingamangaraja XII. At the denotative level, these rituals appear as religious practices; at the connotative level, they signify the community’s attachment to nature, ancestors, and local knowledge systems; while at the myth level, they serve as symbols of Batak resistance against the capitalization of natural resources. The film also represents the Batak kinship system through the principles of Dalihan Na Tolu and tarombo, which function as social frameworks for organizing solidarity and resource management rights. The scene of frankincense tapping by Parasian Pardede illustrates how tarombo preserves customary continuity through the patrilineal line, while the philosophy of Dalihan Na Tolu reflects communal solidarity and cohesion. Thus, Singkam Mabarbar not only documents Batak culture but also reveals culture as a dynamic system of signs that reproduces the myth of resistance and sustains cultural identity amid the pressures of modernization and capitalism.
