Decision-Making by Drawing Lots in the Middle Ages and Early Modernity (C03)

抽签将决策与对各种选择的合理权衡分开，并将其转移到所涉行为者无法接触的外部层面。然而，它可以作为一个战略性的程序要素。该项目研究了在前现代集体决策过程的框架内，特别是在宗教办公室和市政委员会的选举中，如何应用地块。探讨了它们的预设、框架条件、目标和效果。

Drawing lots separates decision-making from the rational weighing of options and shifts it to an external level not accessible to the actors involved. Nevertheless, it can serve as a strategically used element of procedure. This project examines how lots have been applied in the framework of pre-modern processes of collective decision-making and the election of spiritual offices and municipal councils in particular. It inquires into their presuppositions, framing conditions, objectives and effects.
