However, based on environmental psychology and phenomenology of place we also know that all humans possess the propensity to have a deep embodied attachment to place, and that change in place can cause a range of emotions between mild nostalgia to severe psychological and social crisis. Research has also demonstrated the centrality of ritual practices such as the trance dance in San culture and cosmology. This article aims to explore the phenomenological role rituals played in ensuring adaptability in the face of change, as well as providing the fundamental need for existential and psychological emplacement. Using literature from both environmental adaptation and ritual in San communities, as well as cultural neurophenomenology and embodiment as theoretical frameworks, the article will discuss how San rituals mediated people/place relationships as a means of coping with highly variable environments and change.Item Does a history of sexual and physical childhood abuse contribute to HIV infection risk in adulthood A study among postnatal women in Harare ZimbabweSimukai Shamu; Patience Shamu; Christina Zarowsky; Marleen Temmerman; Tamara Shefer; Naeemah AbrahamsItem Time of HIV diagnosis CD4 count and viral load at antenatal care start and delivery in South AfricaDorina Onoya; Cornelius Nattey; Nelly Jinga; Constance Mongwenyana; Gayle ShermanItem Clients experiences utilizng a safer conception service for HIV affected individuals implications for differentiated care service delivery modelsSheree Schwartz; Natasha Davies; Nicolette Naidoo; Diantha Pillay; Nokuthula Makhoba; Saiqa MullickItem Evaluation of sex differences in dietary behaviours and their relationship with cardiovascular risk factors a crosssectional study of nationally representative surveys in seven lowand middleincome countriesB McKenzie; J Santos; P Geldsetzer; Justine Davies; J Manne-Goehler; Barnighausen Till; E et alItem Time to embrace access programmes for medicines lessons from the South African flucytosine access programmeA Shroufi; Nelesh Govender; G Meintjes; John Black; Jeremy Nel; M Moosa; Colin Menezes; E et alItem Understanding the Reasons for Deferring ART Among Patients Diagnosed Under the SameDayART Policy in Johannesburg South AfricaDorina Onoya; Tembeka Sineke; Idah Mokhele; Jacob Bor; Matthew Fox; Jacqueline MiotItem Item Health Care Providers Challenges to HighQuality HIV Care and Antiretroviral Treatment Retention in Rural South AfricaA Julien; S Anthierens; A van Rie; R West; Meriam Maritze; Rhian Twine; Kathleen Kahn; Sheri Lippman; Audrey Pettifor; H Leslie
