RESUMO

Panopticism is a key concept for a better understanding on the functioning and shaping of the western disciplinary societies from the XVII - XVIII centuries on, as well as the production and control of the space. It hás appeared, in the midst of the seventies, in Michael Foucault´s Surveiller et Punir analysis about what was at that time an almost obscure XVIII the century personal device - Jeremy Bentham´s panopticum. This dissertation rereads the foucauldian´s panoptic theory through a critical perspective provided by the depiction of the panoptical device in the films A Clockwork Orange (Stanley Kubrick), 1984 (Michael Radford), Enemy of the State (Tony Scott) and Minority Report (Steven Spielberg); and puts its methodological emphasis in the relevance of sciencefiction processes that we can nowadays observe between the well- know, alreadystudied, disciplinary forms of society and a possible, or alleged, controlled society to-come; as well as the relation of all this process with the construction of real and diegetic spaces.
