Titled "Rock and Politics: Social Movements and Censorship in Latin America," Campion's lecture addresses the development of rock music and institutional, social and ecclesiastical censorship in South America, covering the decades from the 1950s to the 1990s. Censorship is confronted through social resistance processes generated within the rock scene that seek to confront or bypass censorship mechanisms in both authoritarian and democratic states.
