Does "Or, I would suggest, in..." mean "if he did not mention it in his paper I would consider it myself in ..."?

McGonigal’s paper differentiates importantly between two identifiable strains of flash mob: the one of site-specific ‘play’ is intent on ‘fun’, whilst the other of site-specific ‘performance’ is more concerned, so it is implied, with instilling a deeper political or ethical consciousness. Or, I would suggest, in revealing the rich contradictions of agonistic urban space.

Answer

The author implies that "revealing the rich contradictions of agonistic urban space." is not in the paper so he/she is adding it.

For example, my boss wants to eat at the Italian restaurant. Or, I would suggest, we eat at the Chinese restaurant.

I would suggest is a very polite and somewhat formal way of stating your opinion or desire.
