![Quote from Moretti, *The Way of the World*: "The Bildungsroman as the 'symbolic form' of modernity: for Cassirer, and Panofsky, through such a form 'a particular spiritual content [here, a specific image of modernity] is connected to a specific material sign [here, youth] and intimately identified with it. 'A specific image of modernity': the image conveyed precisely by the 'youthful' attributes of mobility and inner restlessness.
Modernity as a bewitching and risky process full of 'great expectations' and 'lost illusions'. Modernity as - in Marx's words - a 'permanent revolution' that perceives the experience piled up in tradition as a useless dead-weight, and therefore can no longer feel represented by maturity, and still less by old age" (5).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ve52b77kukibul7vhb67wjuf/bafkreieipahjz36zg76c7fvaydjvpuvizd5vi2sqyjwww3vg4mdlknhplq)
