In this paper we analyze the profound changes taking place in the twelfth century Medieval West and were noted by Haskins as a distinct form of Renaissance. And these are represented within the set of satirical texts, Carmina Burana. For this mobilizarei an effort, at first, to understand the formulation of the concept of Cultural Renaissance, which is established in their proper contours by Jakob Burckhardt and is used by Haskins to think an era of breakups and social fluidity, which were atypical to a company linked to stability that an agrarian culture, as we showed Ernst Gellner, possessed. This discussion of historiographical character is important to realize the time to formulate a well-defined concept and fully explanatory and otherwise present an instability that does not diminish the formulations of 70 years of history, but to understand another way of real-last explanation does not act via the conceptual, but another via formation of language, that is, the metaphor. Within these understandings intend to take, by a hybrid way, an effort to demonstrate the formativeness these verses, their surroundings and how they, in some way, realize a real experience and thus demonstrate my main hypothesis have the laughable texts of Carmina Burana a metaphoric way of building knowledge about the past.
