“…The boundary movements involved in civil repair can also work the other way around. Civil codes can be pushed into the non-civil sphere to regulate functional problems by democratizing what is identified as anti-civil relations and institutions, thereby translating the strains of non-civil spheres as ‘civil crises, threatening the very same stuff societal solidarity is made of’ (Kivisto and Sciortino, 2019: 287). This then becomes a problem for society.…”

Lately, cultural sociologists have been engaged in theorizing the complexity and ambiguities of border-crossing translations from a variety of research strings. This article contributes to this theorizing by developing the concept of interstitial institutions as ongoing sites of translations. Building on the history of gift-giving practices of Danish philanthropic organizations from the enactment of the Danish constitution in 1849 till today, the article broadens and expands on civil sphere theory (CST) in three ways. First, it shows how interstitial institutions are an important site of translation because they work as a lock on the border between the non-civil and civil spheres, and this dual membership inevitably leads to ongoing boundary tensions. Second, the study of interstitial institutions provides insights into how civil repair is molded by cultural-historical contexts and narratives and consequently fertilizes particular ways of mobilizing cultural codes. Third, studying interstitial institutions and their translation practices emphasizes and strengthens CST’s processual ground.
