[NT 15000229]:	Liberation Theology emerged from the need to address both the spiritual and material struggles of Latin America's "poor." To illuminate social and economic injustices, it incorporated the social sciences to represent the world through Marxist critique, world systems theory, and dependency theory. In doing so, it sometimes replaced existing metanarratives with others. Contemporary liberation theologies and postcolonial critiques have examined such problems of representation through discursivity, warnings regarding essentialism, and poststructural differance. In this way, both early and contemporary texts primarily seek liberation from oppression by using and considering language for its (in)ability to represent reality.

520 $a Liberation Theology emerged from the need to address both the spiritual and material struggles of Latin America's "poor." To illuminate social and economic injustices, it incorporated the social sciences to represent the world through Marxist critique, world systems theory, and dependency theory. In doing so, it sometimes replaced existing metanarratives with others. Contemporary liberation theologies and postcolonial critiques have examined such problems of representation through discursivity, warnings regarding essentialism, and poststructural differance. In this way, both early and contemporary texts primarily seek liberation from oppression by using and considering language for its (in)ability to represent reality.
520 $a However, my dissertation follows Gustavo Gutierrez's suggestion that we consider liberation not only as a "libertad de," a freedom from injustice, but as a "libertad para ," a freedom for others, especially through our becoming "libres para amar." This liberation-asintimacy should not be considered as a precursor to other forms of liberation; it is a fulfillment of liberation itself. Furthermore, pursuing this vision benefits from our understanding and approaching language beyond its referential/semantic function (i.e., to represent and convey meaning) by recognizing its poetic and social potentials.
520 $a This dissertation surveys the linguistic ideologies of the Enlightenment, Romanticism, structuralism, and poststructuralism to explore our predominant intellectual bias towards language as a tool for representation, and it then presents Roman Jakobson's outline of linguistic functions. It continues by examining texts of contemporary Latin American Liberation Theology to show how their approaches to language both enable and limit their interventions. The dissertation then provides close readings of two Latin American novels, Gabriel Garcia Marquez's Cronica de una muerte anunciada and Gertrudis Gomez de Avellaneda's Sab, to expose the dangers of representation and to offer an example of a textual project that encourages intimacy. It concludes by examining several postcolonial texts to suggest that a framing of liberation as individuals being with and for others might contribute to broader conversations regarding social and political projects. In addition, it returns to works of Latin American Liberation Theology, including those of Gutierrez, to show how its texts already, though inconsistently, make use of varied language functions to encourage relationships between individuals.
