Perceive something in a favourable light

1. Does "perceive something in a favourable light" mean "to agree with and be interested in something"?

2. Does "but she could be said" mean "but in response to Winnicott's probable disinterest, one could say that Abramovic..."?

3. Does "rather than being projected outside in the pathology of war and conflict." mean

a) rather than this aggression being projected outside like what is done in the study of wars and conflicts

or

b) rather than this aggression being projected outside in the form of a study of wars and conflicts?

Context:

I don’t think Winnicott would perceive Abramovic’s work in a favourable light due to its masochistic trajectory,
but she could be said to be exercising the capacity to put the object outside subjective control by means of an aggression that comes from and is dealt with from within the intermediate area of experience rather than being projected outside in the pathology of war and conflict. Abramovic’s kind of aggression is necessary and warranted in the creation of the ‘quality of externality’ that Winnicott sees as being integral to joy in life.
