Surveillance, Technology and Artificial Intelligence
Červenka, Tomáš ; Slavíček, Daniel (advisor) ; Švantner, Martin (referee)
This master thesis deals with the topic of surveillance while focusing on its technological extensions. Particular focus will be primarily on the topic of artificial intelligence, which is currently one of the most important technologies in the field of computer science. My intention for this work will be to introduce artificial intelligence and to offer an insight into its application in surveillance studies and thus combine theoretical and technological thesis together. The thesis will be divided into five parts - the first part introduces research questions, methodology and division of the whole work, the second part will briefly introduce surveillance and its study, the third part will introduce artificial intelligence, its history, present and, above all, the outlook for the future, and the fourth part will link those two fields together.The last, fifth, part offers a reflection and answer to the question of what future awaits us in the proces of implementation of artificial intelligence in the field of surveillance.

Zamastilová, Lucie ; Slavíček, Daniel (advisor) ; Charvát, Martin (referee)
In my dissertation I will deal with the issue of surveillance, which is applied in the area of marketing, consumption and in connection with that in advertising. I will concentrate mainly on the current age and therefore on the electronic surveillance, so the history of the surveillance studies will not be dealt with in this thesis in more detail. The first part of the thesis will be theoretical focusing on the main theses and theories of the current surveillance authors, especially the issues of electronic surveillance. The next part of this thesis will focus on surveillance and surveillance techniques in marketing and consumption. In this part I will also build on the theories of contemporary authors discussing the surveillance topic in the commercial sphere, but I will try to complement the theoretical introduction of the issue with the specific functioning of this phenomenon in practice. The main aim of this thesis will mainly be an overview and comprehensive illumination of surveillance and control issues focusing on the field of marketing and consumption and also mapping its operation in practice. In this part, I will focus on the issue of electronic surveillance in terms of marketing strategies focusing on the application of surveillance on the Internet and particulary on social networks.

A Child as an Active Internet User and the Sphere of Parental Surveillance
Bláhová, Barbora ; Slavíček, Daniel (advisor) ; Charvát, Martin (referee)
My diploma thesis deals with the phenomenon of the internet and parents' supervision, particularly how parents supervise their children who are the active users of the Internet. This paper is divided into a theoretical and practical part. The theoretical part is further divided into two sections - one that looks at supervision and mediating strategies and other one that analyses the internet. Both those theoretical chapters explore their subjects with relation to children as the agents. The practical part of my dissertation is a qualitative research in form of interviews, which helps to understand the phenomenon from the parents' position.

The thematization of the issue of surveillance and power in cinematography
Šára, Filip ; Fišerová, Michaela (advisor) ; Slavíček, Daniel (referee)
The goal of this thesis The thematization of the issue of surveillance and power in cinematography is to introduce Michael Focault's theory of power, and add to it with other theories of surveillance with regard to the electronic age (Surveillance studies). Subsequently these theories and hypothesis are applied to qualitative analysis of chosen films with the theme of surveillance. Findings should show the cinematographic reflection of the issue of surveillance and power, de facto depiction of theory and practice of surveillance studies (emphasising the use of power in institutions like prison, hospital, school or working environment, which are heterotopic "other spaces") in live-action movies. The thesis shows development within the past 30 years which took place also due to the existence of internet, which is a kind of institution too. Hypothesis: it is obvious in films with surveillance theme that the concept of the use of power is evolving from "body as a machine" (M. Foucault) to "disappearing bodies" (D. Lyon). The choice of films is analysed only with regard to their depiction of surveillance, is mainly based on the list of movies with surveillance theme constructed by a German theorist D. Kammerer. The goal is also to broaden this list with examples of other films since it should emphasise...

Surveillance and Facebook
Heroldová, Lenka ; Slavíček, Daniel (advisor) ; Marcelli, Miroslav (referee)
This diploma thesis focuses on surveillance studies on online platform Facebook. This famous social site became a tool for both fun and business lately. Facebook collects data that is then used for some other purposes which means there is some kind of a surveillance done. All the infomation that Facebook collects is given by the users themselves who voluntarily share their personal information. This kind of collected data is then for example used for commercial purposes such as media advertising with obvious profit expectations and so is used in crime prevention such as cyberbullying etc. Diploma thesis is divided into three sections. First describes surveillance history until nowadays, postmodern times. Second part clarifies the formation of the social site Facebook, it's user rules and privacy rules as well as practical examples of using collected data online. The last part of this thesis introduces some other favourite social sites and its functions as well as their surveillance possibilities and advertising potential.
