Marechera's radical method (with reference to object relations)





Shamanic doubling as it draws from knowledge about the mother-child dyad. 
The dyad is inevitably re-imposed in adulthood in terms of the dominant power stucture which overwhelms. the smallness of the individual. The disproportionate power dyamics (big versus small) lends pressure to adapt at the expense of individuation. A way out may be through shamanic doubling. This radical method of individuation is suggested in the video to be an experimental platform.
