@mkirschenbaum The course is a media theory course on how we construct publics. The 1860 has “Walt Whitman,” a revision of “Song of Myself” and then “Chants Democratic.” Both help. Not sure if 1855 does the same work. I read 1855 in grad school.

I'm trying to figure out whether to assign the 1855 or 1860 editions of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass. Where are my poetry nerds at?

It relates through fractured narratives the experience of being unmoored from a place of origin, cautiously accepted and rudely rejected by a destination of migration, and the dizziness of living with a cosmopolitan sensibility in a world that demands one declare one’s roots.

BTW the opening texts of this course are James Carey’s “Communication as Culture” and Whitman’s “Song of Myself.” https://t.co/PFnyRpQMGj
