The purpose of this study was to describe how Black adolescent males understand "second-line" (musical processions) and "regular"/traditional funeral rituals in New Orleans following the violent deaths of significant persons in their lives. In-depth interviews were conducted with 10 Black males between the ages of 12 and 15 using descriptive phenomenology methodology. Findings revealed that these participants understood death as a cause for celebration, remembrance, and unity related to their experiences with the second-line ritual. Three elements of the life world of Black teenage males were descriptive of second lines, including: a) observed locations of second lines; b) dancing to good music; and c) observed messages conveyed through t-shirts. Participants provided gender-based descriptions of perceived spoken and unspoken rights in grieving at the two distinct rituals. Related to their second-line experience, the teens reflect on ways in which they wish to have their deaths ritualized.
本研究的目的是描述在新奥尔良，黑人青少年男性在其生活中重要人物暴力死亡后，如何理解“二线队伍”（音乐游行）以及“常规”/传统葬礼仪式。采用描述性现象学方法，对10名年龄在12至15岁之间的黑人男性进行了深入访谈。研究结果显示，这些参与者将死亡理解为与他们参与二线队伍仪式的经历相关的庆祝、纪念和团结的理由。黑人青少年男性生活世界的三个要素描述了二线队伍，包括：a）二线队伍的观察地点；b）随着美妙音乐跳舞；c）通过T恤观察到的传达信息。参与者对在这两种不同仪式中悲伤时感知到的显性和隐性权利进行了基于性别的描述。与他们的二线队伍经历相关，这些青少年思考了他们希望自己的死亡被仪式化的方式。
