Question

1. Does "took on" mean "used"?2. Does "what one finds there is the double bind of fetishism" mean "any way, what Sherman presents is fetishism"?3. Does the pink section imply "what Sherman presents, whether presenting the woman as a seductive glamorous entity or presenting woman as a combination of disgusting fluids, is any way patriarchal and fetishistic"?Text:In response to criticism of her work as displaying the stereotypical tropes of femininity as seductive object of desire, Sherman deliberately took on the appearance of ugliness to challenge the viewer’s gaze, but, as Mulvey says, what one finds there is the double bind of fetishism: presenting the woman as a seductive glamorous surface appearance and as a horrific disintegration into abject fluids is to be equally bound by the logic of the patriarchal fetish, whereby ‘[a] cosmetic, artificial appearance then conceals the wound or void left in the male psyche when it perceives sexual difference.’

catttt1. Does "took on" mean "used"?

Sort of. It's more specific than that, more like "assumed" or "adopted".

catttt2. Does "what one finds there is the double bind of fetishism" mean "any way, what Sherman presents is fetishism"?

anyway

Apparently, according to these folks, fetishism is everywhere you look, in every form all the time. I can't see how they can differentiate. But I don't think the writer meant that Sherman was trying to escape fetishism but that she was trying to escape presenting ***********, I guess you could say. Mulvey claims that both of Sherman's thrusts end in the same bind, reference to the patriarchal fetish.

catttt3. Does the pink section imply "what Sherman presents, whether presenting the woman as a seductive glamorous entity or presenting woman as a combination of disgusting fluids, is any way patriarchal and fetishistic"?
