Mexican Jesus, Depeche Mode, Latino Semioticity, and Lázaro Lima

I just got a cyberpostcard from Lázaro Lima of New York, author of The Latino Body, pointing me to some fine anti-iconoclastic doings down in San Antonio where I am lecturing at UTSA on November 5, 2007. No doubt some church site/sightseeing is in this Mexican's future!

Lima's meditation on "Personal Jesus" as Depeche Mode's "Chicanesca cultural intervention" is a keeper--the video rocks as well! It's funny that I had wiped the memory of Depeche Mode's song from my head when it is so visually in harmony with the whole Tex[t]-Mex project.

Gracias Lázaro!
