  • Athrael
    From the dictionary: : the act or an instance of placing two or more things side by side; also : the state of being so placed Lectures by professors would be the most common place you will find the word being used. Examples of Juxtapositions: http://www.longleaf.net/ggrow/Skspre/Juxtaposition.html http://www.microcosms.ihc.ucsb.edu/gallery/g14.html Is one place where the word is actually used in a sentence. ;)

  • Jeztyr - whispering in the ears of kings
    Often in describing art: having two subjects side by side or within proximity in order to highlight a particular aspect of one or both subjects. Picture a balloon resting gently upon the blade of a knife. One could describe that the gentle nature of the balloon is juxtaposed with the harshness of the knife, symbolising yadda yadda yadda. Within music, having an strong, rhythmic beat juxtaposed with sweet, high throated warbling. You get the idea.
