Summary/Abstract: This article presents a few most significant interventions from the media of 1990 regarding Eminescu and his creation. In spite of the fact that the poet had died a century before and some tendentious interpretation of his work had been thoroughly amended, the public “atmosphere” and the tensions generated in the society reabsorb him, projecting him in the middle of a real “cyclone”, unforeseeable by manifestations or consequences. On the background of two years full of homage meanings (1989-1990), the interest in studies referring to Eminescu seems dominated by the prevalence of Eminescianism, a term that has not been established semantically yet, which indicates the orientation of the debates on the poet, from the sphere of philology to that of the “state of mind”, which differs from a soul to another.
