He has co-edited and co-authored a number of books on ethnicity, multiculturalism and media representations. His work addresses a broad range of areas, from Italian and Italian Canadian literature and culture to a focus on cinema, media and television studies. Recent projects involve the exploration of narcissism and immortality in the deployment of post-human technological apparatuses.
Dr. William Anselmi and Dr. Sheena Wilson are working on a book project to address contrasting and/or collaborative modes of representation in documentary and mainstream feature films. Two recent articles linked to this larger project include “Slumdogging It: Rebranding
the American Dream, New World Orders, and Neo-Colonialism” (2009); “Performative Radicalism in contemporary Canadian documentary film.” (2009); and “Technologies of Memory, Identity and Oblivion in Persepolis (2007) and Waltz with Bashir (2009).” (forthcoming). They are two of the co-founders and managing editors of an online open access journal called Imaginations: Journal of Cross-Cultural Image Studies.
