Resumo: «Secularized Jewish Humor in Woody Allen's Filmography. Analysis of the thematic categories of love, sex, and money in the film Café Society» is this thesis title which objective is to demonstrate how this type of humor becomes a consolidated audiovisual strategy of its postmodern style. The theme is considered demystified in its traditional source thanks to the director's need to escape the shackles of the past and gain independence, analyzing it through an existentialist, psychoanalytic and deconstructive perspective. The contextualization takes place exploring the comedy genre and going through the different stages of recognition. Described in the biographical, autobiographical account, and the recreated filmography until reaching the chosen film. Problematized, inferring thematic categories in the ethical, moral, and aesthetic developments proposed in the argument. The hypothesis puts these first two themes linked to objective survival in confrontation with subjective survival and linked to romantic and nostalgic love of a bygone time. The scope and cut of the object of study are justified in an updated filmography. The methodological procedures seek to show the passage from modernity to post-modernity, establishing a state-of-the-art production, delving deeper into the critical and reflective reading of the «Jewish humor» cut out and analyzed in Café Society. Outlined are the specific objectives related to the planned structure. Among the theoretical references are authorized biographers, especially Marion Meade, Aristophanes, inspiration from the social role of comedy and literary sources of exploration. The works of Freud, Reik, and Lacan were visited on humor, jokes, and parody as productions of the unconscious and up-to-date specialists in Jewish culture. Regarding the object of study, analyzed and interpreted scenes are cutout when compared with other works by the director himself: the work of Neal Gabler "An empire of their own" is used to explore the «Golden Age» of the 1930s cinema, and the origins of the Hollywood Culture Industry. The structure has the first chapter: «Ancestral rumors of a family crossing», centered on Woody Allen's childhood, his classic inspiration, and the passage to the different phases of his production. The second chapter analyzes the film "Café Society" through the prism of the themes of sex, money, and love, respectively. Finally, in the third chapter, the demystification of «romantic comedy» is rehearsed, resulting in: «Money and the stigma of meat»; «Sex, between instinct and audiovisual drive»; and «Love, the festival of the Jewish comedian»
