THE FIELD OF INTELLECTUALS: THE CASE OF FINLAND.

The article focuses on the rudiments of a field theory of intellectuals in Finland which are developed with particular application to the problems of a marginal field. Following the periodization of Regis Debray's intellectual history into the academic, literary and celebrity phase, the authors discuss the periods as different configurations of the intellectual field, which means specifically different forms of capital and various strategies for autonomy. Furthermore, an outline of the Finnish intellectual field is presented.
