I had the opportunity to attend Marion Fourcade's highly stimulating 2019 BJS lecture on the transformations of liberal citizenship in the digital age. Between then and its printing in these pages (Fourcade, 2021), a big chunk of our lives indeed moved online. The Coronavirus pandemic has not only accelerated the great digital drive but also laid bare the vulnerabilities of core citizenship institutions such as education, health, work, and democracy. If technological systems are “sticky” (Castaldi et al. 2018), we should expect that the current shift to digital existence and its challenges are likely to be a long haul.

In Ordinal Citizenship Fourcade offers us the conceptual tools necessary to grasp these transformations and their economic, social, political, and psychological consequences for the ordinary citizen. Reading it in juxtaposition with the broader trajectory of citizenship in the last half century, I find myself greatly affined with her conceptual analysis and reflections, although with different observations on the broader institutional context, comparative reach, and possibilities of ordinal digitality. My comments are written to elicit further clarity and discussion of these points.

我有机会参加 Marion Fourcade 在 2019 年关于数字时代自由公民身份转变的高度刺激的 BJS 讲座。从那时到在这些页面上打印（Fourcade，  2021 年），我们生活的很大一部分确实转移到了网上。冠状病毒大流行不仅加速了伟大的数字驱动，而且暴露了核心公民制度的脆弱性，如教育、健康、工作和民主。如果技术系统具有“粘性”（Castaldi 等人，  2018 年），我们应该预期当前向数字化存在的转变及其挑战可能是一个长期的过程。

在Ordinal Citizenship Fourcade 中，Fourcade 为我们提供了掌握这些转变及其对普通公民的经济、社会、政治和心理后果所必需的概念工具。将它与过去半个世纪更广泛的公民身份轨迹并列阅读，我发现自己与她的概念分析和思考非常相似，尽管对更广泛的制度背景、比较范围和有序数字化的可能性有不同的观察。我的评论是为了引起对这些要点的进一步澄清和讨论。
