- Title
Kopernik: bóle fantomowe pomnika.
- Authors
Sieniewicz, Mariusz
- Abstract
The article explores the perception and commemoration of Nicolaus Copernicus in Olsztyn, Poland, and the rivalry between Olsztyn and Toruń in claiming his legacy. It questions whether jubilees truly honor Copernicus or create phantom pains for the monument. The author suggests that the focus on commemorative efforts overshadows Copernicus' true impact and that popular culture and marketing tactics can distort his legacy. Instead, the author proposes using Copernicus' biography as a starting point to explore the unique identities and values of the cities.
