| Sumario: | For centuries, people have accepted that there is a superior power than themselves. They saw this power sometimes in nature, sometimes in gods or demi-gods and sometimes in their rulers, and tried to determine a direction under their leadership. Humanity has been under surveillance since its inception until today, whether aware or not. Because each individual is watching what’s at his disposal.
The emergence of surveillance, or in other words the Panopticon, comes from a prison built in 1785. With the construction of the prison designed by Jeremy and Samuel Bentham, the Panopticon began to be felt more and spread to other places outside the prison. This structure, which was built in a circular plan, affected the whole world both with its plan schema and its underlying philosophy. The Panopticon is everywhere today, with cameras, mobile phones, tablets, computers, websites (cookies) and the Internet, social media accounts and many other ways that we cannot count. Most people today may not even be aware of this.
How people were put under surveillance or watched before the emergence of the term Panopticon and its philosophy lies in the technology of that era. In a society where today’s technology did not exist, the best way to carry out surveillance is through the reflections of belief, city planning, architectural and artistic works, and loyal people in the service of power.
Every artefact made available by a government is seen as a reflection of the power and art of that government and its service to the people. However, through artefacts there is no time when oversight or panopticon is realized. Nevertheless,“<em>in every consumption there is an </em>surveillance”. Based on this philosophy, how people are kept in under surveillance will be evaluated through each symbol used on the structures of trade buildings, belief centers, especially in Göbeklitepe, and palaces. |
