Abstract :Contemporary modern surveillance, its power, effects and dicipline concepts are determined by Michel Foucault’s Panopticon theory. Panopticon is a kind of jail architecture which was designed by Jeremy Bentham in late 18th century. This jail has a special strucure which enables watching the prisoner’s cells from one point. While the guard’s centre can see the all sides, prisoner’s can’t see the inside of guard point thus the prisoners all the time have the feeling of being watched. This situation causes prisoners to internalize the sovereign power and supplies the autocontrol system with minimum human power. Modern surveillance units of our age are revealed in Minority Report.
Keywords : Key Words Surveillance, Panopticon, Prison, Power, Movie
