Politically

1. Does the highlighted section in the text below mean more like:

  • a. it still has the potential to be read in a politically incorrect way and to serve the desires of capital and patriarchy

or

  • b. it still has the potential to be read in a politically incorrect way because of serving the desires of capital and patriarchy ?

2. Can "politically" have any meaning beyond its usual meaning (relating to governments, politics, and political activities) in this context?


Text:

Some critics and artists such as Kelly felt that the visual field is so over-determined that no matter whether an image, particularly of the body, is politically correct or not, it still has the potential to be read in a politically incorrect way, serving the desires of capital and patriarchy.

The text is unfathomable to me. After reading it multiple times, I can't say I fully understood what is being discussed, perhaps it is about visual art. I am sorry.
