Resumen:
The purpose of this chapter is to carry out a discursive analysis of two proposals for
the opening of science, one from the North called Open Science and the other
from the South called Flock Society or “BuenConocer”, which is related to the new
economic matrix where the discourse on knowledge as a good gives a different
protagonism to international scientific communication. The corpus to be analyzed is: the
UNESCO 2021 recommendation and the open letter and Flock Society project in 2014. The
theoretical-methodological tools include categories from the Critical Discourse Analysis
(CDA) and the Multimedial and Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MMCDA). We start
from the hypothesis that the discourse on Open Science is hegemonic to legitimize a publishing
monopoly. The Flock one is based on a contrary ideology that highlightshedominant model’s
asymmetries thatonly places knowledge at the center of production and economic circulatily.
