Usually, the appearance of survey works on a particular academic discipline as handbooks, manuals or companions indicates that the field in question has reached a certain level of repletion. The involved experts know what the discipline is about, the topics, research methods and standards for the production of novel insights have been established and a common body of knowledge has been developed. The essential content of the discipline can be communicated to a wider public through the aforementioned media. The publication of a handbook normally witnesses to a high level of disciplinary consolidation. Cynics, however, hold that such consolidation often goes along with an unhealthy saturation. As soon as a common body of knowledge can be seized in a handbook, they assert, a discipline has already lost its inner momentum and vitality. The exiting years of discovering unknown challenges, generating fresh vocabularies, inventing new research perspectives or sampling competing approaches are over, and the professionals have moved on to business as usual. A handbook, so the malicious commentary goes, serves more as a mausoleum than as a stimulus to initiate further developments.
