This thesis examines the family as presented in the works of J.D. Salinger. Two aspects of the family relationship are examined: how members of the family relate to each other and how they relate to people outside the family. The works used in this study are Nine Stories, The Catcher in the Rye, Pranny and Zooey, and Raise High the Roofbeams, Carpenters and Seymour, An Introduction.This examination reveals Salinger’s shift from a parent-dominated family to a child-centered family as well as the move from a family group which interacts with people outside the family to a family which has little relation to the world outside itself.

Outre-amer is a collection of short stories set in a contemporary Quebec society and depicting events in the genealogy of a family doomed with mythological predispositions. / Intertextuality is an important aspect of Outre-amer, since the stories are independent from one another, while linked together by various themes, clues and details which carry enigmas beneath the surface of the stories from one end of the collection to the other. Thus, it is suggested to read the stories in a chronological order. / Etude du dialogue dans Nouvelles de J. D. Salinger studies the conversational aspect of the prose of the American author J. D. Salinger. It reflects on the importance and the role of dialogues within a short story, as well as their scriptural representation and mimetic function. The article investigates the French translation of two short stories which are part of Nine Stories. It analyzes the particularities of the translated dialogues compared to those of the original version, and questions the critical validity of a text in translation. The study raises and discusses issues related to the process of translation towards French and denounces the French translator's ethnocentrical approach towards the American text: in this case, the French language and culture assimilate Salinger's stories, thus altering the poetics of the text in translation.

The aim of this work is to show how Holden Caulfield, the character of The catcher in the rye, returns from his isolation of the world by means of his altruistic love, considering 'the other' more important than himself. From the hypothesis that Holden's grief in maintaining innocence leads him to depression, as compassion leads him to the answer for such conflict, the methodological procedures were based on the inductive method for elaborating theses: historical procedures, such as contextualizing the novel, bibliographical research, text selection, analysis, interpretation, organization and composition of the theoretical approach. Contextualizing J. D. Salinger and his narrative leads to a more accurate comprehension of Holden Caulfield. The anguish of being lonely makes him want to die, something that changes when he realizes, benevolently, that the answer to his question is to seek 'the other'. Then, compassion, the need to love, silences his inner pain / A compaixão como redenção do ser humano. O objetivo desta pesquisa é mostrar como Holden Caulfield, a personagem de O apanhador no campo de centeio, retorna de seu isolamento do mundo por intermédio de seu amor altruísta, considerando o 'outro' mais importante que si mesmo. Partindo da hipótese de que a angústia de Holden em querer perpetuar a inocência 0 leva à depressão, bem como a compaixão 0 leva até a resposta para tal conflito, foram traçados os procedimentos metodológicos a partir do método indutivo para a elaboração da dissertação: procedimento histórico, como a contextualização do romance, levantamento bibliográfico, seleção de textos, análise, interpretação, organização e composição do quadro teórico. Contextualizar J. D. Salinger e sua narrativa leva a uma compreensão melhor apurada do adolescente Holden Caulfield. A angústia da solidão o faz desejar a morte, quadro que é revertido quando percebe de modo compassivo que a resposta de seu questionamento está em olhar o 'outro'. Assim, a compaixão, a necessidade de amar cala a dor que o jovem traz consigo

The character of Holden Caulfield can be sincerely identified as an ornament. An ornament, such as a flower vase in an impeccable table, or a beautiful desk in the middle of a study room delicately decorated. But for this purposes, Holden Caulfield is a ornament of a society that is not aware of its existence or his importance. An ornament within his family, that looks more like an award cabinet than a loving Christmas postcard.
