"We Could Not Resist That Call is episode 31 of The Tale and the Tongue podcast series. It follows a conversation between Laurence Rassel, a cyberfeminist, and Sonia Fernández Pan, the host of this podcast series. "I saw Laurence at Feministaldia in San Sebastián at the end of 2025. She talked about something she calls an open-source institution. Just as we should understand the machines we use by opening them up and seeing what they are made of, we should open institutions to understand how they really work. The question of privilege came up in conversation with Laurence. Summarizing certain forms of dissent as a privilege is also a way of dismissing the fact that we still have some agency in what we do. Not everyone understands success in the same way, nor does everyone share the same motivations or aspirations. Persisting in these differences is important, precisely to avoid a monopoly of desire. This conversation with Laurence took place at the end of January 2026. I suggested a trip back in time, to how things were in the 1990s with regard to the internet and the promises of technology. At the end of our meeting, we returned once again to 2003. 'I don't want to be alone in the 21st century,' is something Laurence said back then. Now that we know how lonely we can be while being hyper-connected, perhaps it is time to keep returning to the past-not out of nostalgia for what has been lost, but for what we can still recover.""-- provided by distributor.
