Drawing on Kierkegaard’s concept of anxiety as the threshold of freedom and subjectivation, the article explores how the African experience of political vertigo – embodied by marginalised youth, critical intellectuals and dissenting artists – can be the ground for ethical engagement and political truth. Moving from ontology to ethics, and from systemic analysis to lived subjectivity, this paper redefines political truth as a practice of authenticity, choice and responsibility without guarantees. Far from being a weakness, anxiety is thus reframed as the silent precondition for political awakening and the foundation of a new ethical subjectivity. dim., 18 janv. 2026 19:21:09 +0100 ven., 23 janv. 2026 14:40:23 +0100 https://www.peren-revues.fr/revue-k/1678
