Abstract:

 The phenomenon of surveillance has been utilized in various functions by authorities throughout the historical process to ensure the continuity of control and oversight mechanisms. In the early periods when societies began to organize, surveillance served as a method employed for espionage activities. Over time, authorities realized that surveillance could be a significant tool for the continuity of power and societal control. As a result, surveillance has evolved into a tool used by authorities for the sake of their continuity in power and societal control. Societal and technological developments over time have led to the emergence of a surveillance society. Initially based on the panopticon model and termed as the panopticon society, surveillance society has transformed into super-panopticon, synopticon, and omnipoticon in parallel with technological advancements. Nowadays, the concept of surveillance manifests its influence in all aspects of life. With the continuous advancement of technology, the inevitable transformation of the world into a global surveillance space is foreseeable. This study conducts an analysis of the film Cold Eyes Gam-Si- Ja Deul within the context of surveillance society. Content analysis method is employed for the analysis of the film. The aim of the study is to reveal how surveillance society is depicted within the film and to demonstrate the impact of surveillance on societies through the findings of the film. The reason for selecting the film Cold Eyes is the absence of any scientific study related to this film in the literature review. This study contributes an original academic work to the literature.

 Gözetim olgusu tarihsel süreç boyunca iktidarlar tarafından kontrol ve denetim mekanizmasının devamlılığın sağlanması için bir araç olarak kullanılması gibi çeşitli işlevlerde kullanılmıştır. Toplulukların örgütlenmesi sonucu devlet yapılarının ortaya çıktığı ilk dönemlerde gözetim, casusluk faaliyetleri için başvurulan bir yöntem olmuştur. Zaman içerisinde iktidarlar gözetim olgusunun iktidarın devamlılığı ve toplumsal kontrol konularında önemli bir araç olabileceğini anlamışlardır. Bunun sonucunda gözetim iktidarların devamlılığı ve toplumun kontrolü amacıyla kullanılan bir araç haline gelmiştir. Zaman içerisinde meydana gelen toplumsal ve teknolojik gelişmeler gözetim toplumunun ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. İlk olarak panoptikon modelinden temel alınarak panoptikon toplumu olarak adlandırılan gözetim toplumu, teknolojinin gelişmesine paralel olarak süper-panoptikon, sinoptikon ve omniptikon dönüşüme uğramıştır. Günümüzde gözetim kavramı hayatın her alanında etkisini gösterir. Teknolojinin ilerleyiş hızının bu ölçüde devam etmesi durumunda dünyanın küresel bir gözetim alanı haline gelmesi kaçınılmaz bir durumdur. Bu çalışmada Gizli Takip Gam-si-ja-deul filminin gözetim toplumu bağlamında analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Filmin analizi gerçekleştirilirken içerik analizi yönteminden yararlanılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı gözetim toplumunun film içerisinde ne şekilde ele alındığının ortaya çıkarılması ve gözetlemenin toplumlar üzerinde yaratmış olduğu etkinin filmdeki bulgular aracılığıyla ortaya koyulmasıdır. Çalışmada Gizli Takip filmin seçilmesinin nedeni yapılan literatür taraması sonucunda bu filmle ilgili bilimsel bir çalışmaya rastlanmamış olmasıdır. Gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmayla literatüre özgün bir akademik eser kazandırılmıştır.
