Henrik Tikkanen (1924 - 1984) and Christer Kih1man (bom 1930) are so called Fin1and-Swedish writers: they belong to the Swedish minority in Fin1and and they both write in Swedish. In genera1 they are viewed as authors who describe - and often go into rather intimate detail s - the "Fin1and-Swedish decadent upper c1ass". In the autumn 1975 Tikkanen pub1ished his autobiographica1 text Brandovagen 8 Brando Tel. 35 and Kih1man brought out his novel called Dyre prins. Both of the books are reviewed in the main Fin1and-Swedish newspapers and subsequently they provoke some discussions, whi1st the 1argest po1emics is risen in the beginning of 1976 by the te1evision appearence ofboth writers. This thesis called "The Tikkanen - Kihlman Debate. Prelude. Works - Reception - Polemics" seeks to exp1ain the events of the autumn 1975 and of the fi.rst ha1f of the year 1976, conceming the reception of the both works and the interconnected 1iterary debates. On the methodo10gica11eve1 the thesis hand1es the materia1 thematically by the standard method "adfontes" (supporting too11 - question WHAT), whi1e the interpretation in the first p1ace as a generation revolt is perfonned by means of the theory of literary field, based on so called Pierre Bourdieu's French Socio10gica1 Schoo1 (supporting too12 - question WHY).
