N2 - This introductory chapter examines the intersection of prestige, adaptation, and the formal and informal cultural systems that serve as arbiters of taste and value. It compares the cyclical nature of awards with the slower process of canon formation, emphasizing the role of adapting the canon in the visual turn, the role of authorship on both sides of an adaptation, and the framing of fidelity as a measure of prestige in different cultural contexts. The performative component of cultural esteem is also discussed, both in terms of how performance itself can earn or maintain prestige and how the spectacle of awards culture adds a public, performative dimension to the conferral of prestige.
