How should I omit?

Question

The author raised the question of whether architecture can determine political relations. First explains from the perspective of etymology that for antagonistic space, the word “Agon” has the original meaning of “struggle”,”fight” and “contest”.
Hi ,
this is a sentence I wrote for my essay. Is it correct to omit the subject in a sentence by this way? I want to say "the author" first explains the word.....

You can have:

"Initially, he explained... OR Initially, she explained... (depending on author gender)"

Similarly to the above you can have:

"At first, he/she explained...."

Alternatively (but a bit too long in my opinion):

"The author raised the question of whether architecture can determine political relations where he/she explained/explains from the perspective..."

Moreover you can say: "The author, Mr. Edward Jenkings, raised the question...." and in the next sentence have "Mr. Jenknings explains from the perspective..."
Hope you found this useful,
Regards
