Containment and Regeneration

Middlebrook, Jeb. “Prison Music: Containment, Escape, and the Sound of America.” Sounding Out! (2011)

“Prison is a necessary function of white supremacist patriarchal capitalism– a necessary warehousing of surplus (bodies) for exploitation or elimination. Prison music is a documentation of this process.”

Ernest, Marcella. “Creating New Words from Old Sounds.” Sounding Out! (2016)

“We...proudly describe ourselves as being aboriginal, but just saying that one word, straight away we’ve lost identity. ... It’s a Latin word. ... The word ‘indigenous’...does more harm to us than anything else.” (Daryn McKenny)

How is the evolution of prison music involved in the relatively recent rise in popularity of trap music? How does this genre (with themes of police evasion, addiction, and escapism) address or contribute to the cultural conversation started by prison music?

Interviewee Leslie Harper, director of the National Coalition of Native American Language Schools and Programs, relates a personal account of how learning the Ojibwe language has shaped her children’s cognitive development. Her two sons, she says, automatically address the world from an Ojibwe perspective because it is their first language. This example supports the Wharfian hypothesis, a linguistics theory stating that language has a direct effect on culture. For example, the Japanese word mizuko, which translates to “water baby” in English, is used to refer to aborted or miscarried fetuses. Mizuko kuyō is a Japanese ceremony intended to honor the spirit of the fetus and to comfort and assuage the grief and guilt of the mother. This word, according to Wharfian scholars, directly contributes to Japanese attitudes about abortion and miscarriage that are remarkably different from American ones. This is related to the dilemma faced by Ojibwe speakers when they must create new words. Typically, Harper says, these words are for modern technological devices like cell phones and computers. Ojibwe speakers who recognize the power of language to construct reality must consider whether the new word is true to Ojibwe cultural standards and prosody, or risk compromising the integrity of their language.
