To expand the discussions on the adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) and its emancipatory potential, this article deepens the theoretical and philosophical reflection on what OER are and their social implications. The discussion takes place in three stages: i. the relationship of OER with others open-source movements, in addition to their theoretical approach to the concept of hyperobjects; ii. the association between OER and Paulo Freire's emancipatory education precepts; iii. the projection of these results in Nico Stehr's Theory of Knowledge Societies. As a result of this discussion, the article proposes the concept of Emancipatory Action Capacity, understood as the knowledge and practices that need to be mobilized for individuals, or groups, to emancipate themselves. Thus, it is intended to contribute to the defense that the overcoming of social injustices involves the incorporation, especially in education, of OER practices and philosophies, including free culture, open-source technologies, and open science.
